Congratulations to the successful artists for the Nillumbik Artist in Residence Program, who will be setting up studio at Edendale and the Eltham Library in the coming weeks.
Diamond Creek-based photographic artist Dylan Negri has been selected for the Visual Artist in Residence at Edendale Community Environment Farm.
Dylan is originally from South Africa and is a childhood brain cancer survivor.
His highly experimental photographs create feelings of wonder and awe. His work explores the convergence of man-made and natural image-making techniques.
Dylan plans to further his explorations in natural and sustainable image-making processes during his residency at Edendale and engage with visitors to encourage others to do the same.
