Throughout the SOIL+ residency, ideas about the issues facing rural and regional communities, agriculture, and the environment will be explored in conversation with other knowledge holders—those with specialist knowledge gained through intense study and application, as well as those who have inherited and/or lived experiences.
17.12.2024 – SOIL+AiR mid-project update
In this conversation with Australian farmer, Bruce Maynard and multi-disciplinary artist, Kim V. Goldsmith, the background and decades of connection between Bruce and Kim is explained to create context for the SOIL+AiR creative future landscapes project that they began collaborating on in earnest in July 2024. Prior to this, Kim and Bruce had worked on a feasibility of the farm residency project and how it might work for them both. SOIL+AiR is a collaborative project that brings the creative minds of the farmer and artist together to explore agrarian culture and landscapes of inland New South Wales Australia.
As Kim explains, she first met Bruce when she was working as an ABC Radio Rural Reporter in the early 1990s. As a rural journalist, Kim worked a region from Central West New South Wales, to the Far West of the State and north to the Queensland border.
