      <image:caption>Dale has lived in Castlemaine for… Contemporary Artist Dale Cox works across a diverse range of visual media including Film, painting and sculpture, often appropriating found objects as materials for alteration and reinvention. Challenging conventional notions of painting – Cox enjoys blurring the boundaries of his painting practice into hybridized painted sculptural works, documentaries, video art and film. Cox’s sculptures (often also painted!) explore issues concerning changing perceptions towards Australian History, including the commoditization of the Australian landscape among broader Environmental Themes.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>WURUNDJERI WOI WURR\RRUNG COUNTRY WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO CREATE THIS EVENT? "I often feel that I am not thriving as an artist... when I saw the FRINGE theme was 'THRIVE',I wondered… “Who is an artist who thrived professionally and as a human being?” 'MAD ABOUT MORRIS' based on William Morris (1834- 1896) artist, designer and poet was prolific in his creative pursuits. Throughout his creative life Morris pursued the question, 'What does it take to thrive as an artist- and as a human being?’ I was curious about how artists in Castlemaine- a town famed for its arts community, thrive. Thank you to the FRINGE &amp; Mt Alexander Shire Council for supporting this event.</image:caption>

      <image:title>HOME - CLARE RIVERS, PHOTOGRAPHER, Just arrived in Castlemaine!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Over my twenty years living and bringing up children in East Gippsland I became embedded both in the beautiful landscape and the vibrant and emerging art scene.  It was my involvement in and appreciation of the community that drew me toward capturing moments of vibrance and connection. Over these years I was lucky enough to be invited to document many arts events,  as well as some private events and portrait work.  I have very recently moved to Dja Dja Wurrung country and am very much looking forward to my new chapter and the opportunity to work within the lively and warm-hearted community of Castlemaine.
