Being (t)here with India Flint

Ochres, leaves, string, bundles, landscapes, maps ... the intimate territory of pattern. All were touched upon in India Flint's opening lecture: "being (t)here." India introduced us to her muse and explained how she is constantly making and exploring; regardless of whether she is in a hotel room in a strange city, exploring the tundra, walking her native Australia, or attempting to collect mineral pigments from a precipitous slope by a river far, far from home.

The audience had the opportunity to look at some of India's creations, a limited number of which were on sale during the lecture.
