‘Vino & the Visual’ brings us the opportunity to visually translate the brilliant tale of ‘Johnno Johnstone’ – who donned a 76kg upright divers suit & walked the floor of the Bass Strait circa 1937. This proved a successful and skilled effort in fixing the one phone cable that lay between Tasmania & the mainland prior to WWII.<\/p>\n
Within his story lay not only the the brave plight of human against nature, but, human joined with nature – as a legacy unfolds through Johnno’s journey of kinship found with creatures of the shallows & deep, all the while slowly & steadily moving beneath the Julie Burgess (*which Johnno described on a calm day as being “underwater cable skiing” ????).<\/p>\n
We also have the very exquisite bonus of BSMC Project Officer & Printmaker: Sarah Mae Beckett, co-creatively collaborating with Elysium Greene to produce the base artwork from this historic exploration, which we will be working from during the workshop.<\/p>\n
We will be revealing that groovy creative newness in hyperlapse film style very soon! Stay tuned<\/p>\n
Until then….<\/p>\n
Think: octopi, tentacles, seaweed, & all hues\/tints\/tones of oceanic flux & flow!<\/p>\n
