Jacqueline Aust is currently at the Art Vault in Mildura, Australia for a three week artist residency. The Art Vault is a magnificent facility! privately owned and operated by Julie and Kevin it’s has a magnificent Australian Print collection, a lovely gallery, 6-7 studio spaces (2-3 specifically for visiting artists), two beautiful apartments and facilities for all sorts of printmaking … Including a stone lithography workshop.
“Mildura is about 5 hours drive from Adelaide on the Victoria/New South Wales border. The Murray River provides the border between the two states. Grapes and oranges abound …. Acre upon acre …. Two hundred miles in any direction and not a sign of a hill! I’ve been in a houseboat on the river, to the Perry Sandhills, to the local billabong (lake, not pub … Although the local brewery does a lovely IPA), and to a variety of salt flats/swamps. People seem quite cagey about questions of industrial/agricultural water use…”
