Amy May Stuart and Sam Petersen Amy May Stuart & Sam Petersen X Collingwood College

Dates: June

Bus Projects in collaboration with Amy May Stuart and Sam Petersen, is working with the year 3 and 4 students at Collingwood College. The students will be engaged in the act of noticing and documenting through photography, and will use material as a way of interacting with space and light to create a nonpermanent installation which interrupts the space of their school classroom. The students will work with Amy May Stuart and Sam Peterson to take notice of funny moments, cracks in walls, gaps in the floor, and things that look like what they are not.

Sam Petersen

I tend to find the humour and sadness of things. My work stems from the self and stuff that is close to me. I’m interested in what can be done with one’s fluid self and the space around it.

Sadness because of my changing disability - That has permeated all of my work and humour because that is the only way I have of dealing with it.
Some people say my work is of my body and I see their point, but I feel it’s more of the mind, exploring everyday feelings between the rational and the playful.

And like it or not access and the lack of it is also a part of me. Shaping and inspiring my work.

At the moment I find the plasticine a great recorder of touch, and then that touch could be put on other things. Also the playfulness of plasticine is something I am really enjoying. Covering or filling up gaps and playing with crevices.
