Continuing her interest in the relationships of medium, process and metaphor, Ree’s work investigates the physicality of ‘slowness’ via remote-site video performances and studio processes of collecting, making, painting and waiting. Ree’s work is innately a kind-of storytelling that explores a curiosity with the potential for art to engage the viewer in an experience of the imagination. Ree’s exhibition has been developed during her time as Winter Artist in Residence at THE WALLS.
Ree Hegh is based in Northern N.S.W. and is currently completing her final year of a Bachelor of Fine Art at Queensland College of the Art, Brisbane. She has a Post Graduate Diploma of Multimedia Design from Swinburne School of Design, Melbourne, and a Bachelor of Communications from Southern Cross University, Lismore.

THE WALLS offers a seasonal residency program open to emerging artists living and working on the Gold Coast and surrounds, or with connections to our regional landscape. Invited residents reflect on and mark the seasons of the year by occupying THE WALLS studio for three months to develop a chosen project. Each three month residency includes exclusive use of the mezzanine studio space, a stipend to develop new work and an exhibition.
