The Fluid Ink Project is the culmination of artwork created by ‘Artstop 21’ – a collective of twenty local emerging artists from Brunswick, including residents of Stewart Lodge Supported Residential Service and visitors to The Olive Way Drop In Centre.

The body of artwork is vivid and dreamlike, conveying over twenty intimate, powerful narratives as told through sculpture, mixed media, stop-motion animation and sound installation.

The Fluid Ink Project is curated by acclaimed local visual artist Elyss McCleary and award winning sculpture artist Aliey Ball.

Collaborating artists include sound artist Claire Deak, media artist Leonie Van Eyk and animator Bernadette Trench-Thiedeman.
