Here are some photos from my recent visit with Ren Walters at his Artist In Residence stay at the Museum of Innocence Mildura (MIM), and the THIS Ensemble tour through the Mallee that followed. Most of the artworks pictured are by Ren. With Juana Beltran, Carmen Chan, Michael McNab, Candice Boyd, and various extraordinary locals, drifters and vagabonds. Life without fear.

THIS Ensemble Wimmera Tour videos
In late October/early November of 2015, THIS Ensemble toured the Wimmera region of North Western Victoria in a series of official and unofficial performances/actions.
Ren Walters has put together these videos of those times. They have the character of home movies in a way, but for me they convey something of the experience of that time, particularly our attempts to connect with the landscape, the place, and with each other.
