The work of Chewton artist and La Trobe Photography lecturer Jessie Boylan is now on show at Bendigo Art Gallery as part of  the ‘Going Solo’ series.
‘Going Solo’ aims to foster and promote the careers of artists living right here in Central Victoria.
The multichannel video and sound installation Rupture was launched on Saturday September 22 and runs until February 10, 2019.
Jessie said she was delighted to have the opportunity to exhibit at the gallery and thanked curator Jessica Bridgfoot for supporting her vision for the piece.
Boylan has collaborated with trauma-informed psychotherapist Jenna Tuke, digital media artist Linda Dement and writer and performer Virginia Barratt to interpret how symptoms of ‘disorder’ can be seen as an appropriate response to personal traumas and global catastrophe.
