We are delighted to welcome back Kym for her second residency at Rosella Cottage until the 13th September!

📸 Kym Renay is a film photographer, darkroom printmaker, and long term member of Beelarong Community Farm. Her work is centred on ecological literacy, contemporary landscapes, and place identity. Enamoured by film and print development, she experiments with alternative and botanical darkroom processes, favouring the lightest footprint where possible. You can see her work from last year’s residency at https://www.kymrenay.com/greyscale-solarpunk

During this year's residency at Beelarong, Kym will be experimenting with 4x5 large format photography and botanical developmental processes. She will be offering B&W film portraits for farm members at no charge, for those who would like to take part in the project she is working on. Kym understands it is sometimes awkward having your photo taken but sees the importance of this community and will have a sign up sheet in the shed for those wanting to be a part of this project.

Kym has recently commenced studying a Master of Visual Arts at the Queensland College of Art and Design and pays respect to Yuggera, Turrbal, and Quandamooka land and people.
