Vanessa's video works have been exhibited nationally and internationally at the Adelaide Festival Centre; Kunsthalle Kosice Art Hall, Slovakia; Espoo City Theatre, Finland; Ebeltoft Glass Museum, Denmark. Exhibited as a finalist in The Blake Prize, and was awarded Super Short Category Best Cinematography ALTFF Spring’19 for ‘23°WEST’. Vanessa experiments across different fields, incorporating inte
rdisciplinary, multi-dimensional ways of thinking and working. Various forms of creative expression, including drawing, writing, photography, choreography and performance are integrated to provide conceptual fluidity and material flexibility as a platform for site-specific, public installation and performance. The final form and narrative structure of her productions work in concert with imagery of the landscape and environment to explore the uncanny effects and strangeness produced through the reformulation of bodies in motion which in turn perform and narrate new, visceral possibilities of meaning. In addition to training in dance and improvisational theatre Vanessa holds a BFA (Painting), a Graduate Diploma (Film and Television) from the Victorian Collage of the Arts (VCA) University of Melbourne, a MSA (painting with Honours in experimental film) and MFA (painting) from Sydney College of the Arts (SCA).
