 Night Walking I & Night Walking II, 2023 

 

.

 Blackboard paint, gouache, pastel, charcoal, graphite and metallic pencil on 300gsm watercolour paper. 56 x 76 cm. Night Walking III, 2023. Acrylic, ink, pastel, charcoal, graphite, oil stick and metallic pencil on 300gsm watercolour paper. 56 x 76 cm. 


These three ambulatory drawings were made while walking around the Inner West after dark, moving through space while simultaneously responding on paper to sound, movement, features in the landscape and perceived sentiments associated with places of significance. Making these drawings creates an elevated, multi-sensorial level of awareness that affirms and celebrates memory, identity and connections with place.

Artist profile

Melinda Hunt has an experimental drawing practice that employs performative drawing as a means of simultaneously observing and recording responses to a location while walking. Her drawings are a kind of propriocentric seismograph, capturing not just what is seen, but what is felt, and the action of her body as she moves through space. Hunt has a BFA (2019) and an MFA (2021) from the National Art School. Her work is in the National Art School Collection and in private collections. She is a founder and director of DRAW Space in Newtown and a member of the Railway Street Studios Association in Petersham. Hunt is a sessional drawing lecturer at the National Art School where she teaches life drawing and experimental drawing. She lives and works on Gadigal lands.
