It was the most surreal of times.\n\n\n\nPunctuated by the strum of her guitar\, the ping of her phone\, visits from bumble-bees and bir ds\, hours on hold with TasHealth\; She and the mountain built a deep co nversation from the back steps\, kunanyi’s mists seemingly replying to questions or offering stability and wisdom as only a mountain can.\n\n\ n\nAlthough alone with only the mountain for company\, friendships were formed through the ping of a smartphone… some of these relationships w ere fittingly fleeting while others endure to this day\, with each resid ency\, new connections formed leading to creative-collaborations within The Arts Centre\, across the state and beyond.\n\n\n\nThe barely audible soundscape composed from recordings taken during her period of quaranti ne in Act I\, is made in collaboration with musician and sound engineer Louis Ingliss from Boorloo Perth\, Western Australia. The edible art whi ch can be sampled at the finnesage closing event is the second in a seri es of collaborations forged through the ethically aligned friendship for med between Lada and Dr Julie Martyn\, microbiologist and co-founder of Artisa Plant Based Cheeses based in lands surrounding the kanamaluka Lau nceston.\n\n\n\nIn May 2024\, Lada returned to The Artist’s Cottage fo r Act II\; a chapter of exploration with freedom of movement\, a rather spectacular Auroas Australis and an amusing encounter with TasWater. The third residency was completed from November 2024 into January 2025\, th is time focusing on connection\, collaboration and community.\n\n\n\nAbo ut the ArtistLada Dedić is a rambler in thought\, speech and practice\, known for straying off the path in both life and work. Her multi-discip linary investigative approach explores themes of meditative contemplatio n\, the interplay of science &\; art\, and playful cartography. Havin g a peculiar relationship with direction has led her to make unconventio nal maps\, sure to send even the most seasoned navigator on an unexpecte d adventure. A full-time traveller often wandering between Australia\, t he South Pacific and South East Asia. As the child of political refugees … perpetually displaced… she has found security in solitude and the discomfort of transitory life.
