Muse and Maker

Be your own Muse. Make your own Trouble.

Muse + Maker brings together some of Australia's leading artists in a series of unique exchanges of art-making, community, music, food, and nature, Muse + Maker seeks to create opportunities for creative thinking, making, and being. Choosing unique and inspiring locations, such as the rambling beauty of the Robertson Hotel, Muse + Maker seeks to create opportunities for people to meet, make, share, and imagine the world differently.

Muse + Maker brings together the diverse creative experience of Jasmin Tarasin and Zanny Begg, two artists living on the South Coast, who are creating unique opportunities for creative people to gather, share, learn, and make. Jasmin uncovers the beauty in the everyday. She is drawn to an elevated visual expression that harnesses light and movement to create mood. Her sense of style and heightened aesthetic is born from her background in music video, fashion films, and art installation. This combined with her award-winning documentaries sets her work apart. Jasmin creates cinematic poems inspired by human stories - beautiful films inspired by truth.

Often creating intricate worlds through drawing costumes and backdrops, Zanny Begg is interested in the loops and twists of time that reveal previously submerged or hidden histories. Zanny is an award-winning video installation artist interested in social and environmental justice. Zanny is interested in exploring new ways of being and seeing the world and makes highly compelling and innovative works about some of the key issues of our times.

Muse + Maker acknowledges the Wadi Wadi people of the Five Islands Dreaming as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, and we pay respect to their Elders past and present. This is, was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
