Artist Joceline Lee’s Museum Residency

22 August 2011

Joceline’s work explores animal bones, skeletal figures and anatomical studies. Working mostly in ink on paper, she re-imagines these structures, in bold and subtle detail.

Arts Access Victoria is thrilled to announce that Artist with a disability Joceline Lee recently commenced an artist residency at Melbourne Museum’s Palaeontology Collection, supported by Rob Delves, a practicing visual artist and sculptor who works with Joceline at AAV’s weekly art program Art Day South. Joceline, whose work explores human structures, skeletal figures and anatomical studies, will have the exciting opportunity to work with life-sized skeletons for the first time. Her location within the Museum’s ‘no access zone’ means that through the lens of her artwork and practice, the public will have the chance to engage with an otherwise ‘off limits’ subject at Joceline’s upcoming solo exhibition Rendered Bones at Federation Square as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival in October.

Excitingly, Joceline (who is also a JUMP mentoree) along with fellow artist Kristy Sweeney, has also been selected to participate in the prestigious AART.BOXX exhibition, a national survey exhibition of current visual arts practices by Australian artists with disability. Joceline and Kristy, both Arts Day South ‘alumni’, are two of only 12 artists selected from across Australia who will be showcased in this group exhibition in Sydney from October 20 to November 5.
