COOLART HOMESTEAD & WETLANDS SUMMER RESIDENCY 16/17

ProMo was proud to be selected for the inaugural Coolart Spring Summer Artist Residency at the beautiful Coolart Homestead and Wetlands on the Mornington Peninsula. An iconic late-Victorian mansion surrounded by gardens and natural habitat, the property is rich in history.

Inspired by species endemic to the area, the The Wilderness Wallpaper series was completed for hanging upon the final week of the residency. Each metallic paper was sprayed with acrylic paint using a paper stencil, and then screen printed. These were hung in the entrance hallway of the grand old home. 

The natural and historical values of Coolart are protected by Parks Victoria, whose support for the project was unfailing.
