In 2014 Katie Roberts began an Artist Residency at Darebin Parklands, (rehabilitated bushland park) in Melbourne Australia. Through this online journal I will record the development of the work, redocumenting the Darebin Creek, its natural and urban surrounds and history. This project is part of a long-term endeavor to redocument the length of the Yarra River and its catchment area, the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people and modern day Melbourne.

Drawing the 'Fairy Bridge' at Darebin

Midwinter is almost here and it's hard to get out into the cold and make art, but we have had quite a lot of lovely sunny days in the last month or so. When I go down to Darebin I try to either take my dog Sundi or my bike Ruby. It is hard to take both! (Though I still am trying to figure out a way)

A week or so ago, I took Sundi down on a lovely afternoon and he very patiently let me draw the 'Fairy Bridge', which I have wanted to do for a very long time. So here it is for you, and some pictures of my very pretty puppy too.
