Castlemaine’s Billmans Foundry and creatives from Lot 19 Arts Precinct have assisted American conceptual ritualistic artist Stevens Vaughn to bring his latest work dubbed the ‘Throne of Potentiality’ to life.
Stevens and partner Rodney Cone were on their way from China to Chile as the pandemic took hold in March 2020 and during a stop over in Australia made the snap decision to stay a month or two until the covid outbreak in China, Europe and America resolved.
Two years later they are still here.
The pair were embraced by the Lorne community where Stevens was invited to create a work for this weekend’s long awaited Lorne Biennale.
“When we made the decision to stop over in Australia we could never have foreseen what we would find here. We have been embraced by two incredible communities and this latest work would not have been possible without them,” Stevens said.
