“Backwater Artists Studios collaborated with MTU Crawford College of Art & Design through an interactive project with undergraduate students from the college. These third year students paired with the exhibiting artists, and met on a regular basis in the lead up to the exhibition.
One particular piece within this exhibition by twin artists Megan and Cassandra Eustace represented the area of contemporary drawing. Anne-May Tabb, a third year student at the time with a passion for drawing was paired with the Eustace twins to shadow their process. Chatting with Anne-May she recalls on aspects of her experience ‘The twin’s approach to creating work was extremely playful. Every time we met they had some type of material ready on the table along with some tea and cakes. While we chatted we messed about with the material in front of us allowing creative ideas to flow.’ She continues, ‘It was a really special time for me and I remember the informal discussions we shared had a great effect on my studio work… to be a part of the entire creative process really put the knowledge I had gained in Crawford into context’.”
