Remi Siciliano ~ 2026 Northern Beaches Artist-in-Residence Award winner
Remi is a Visual Artist and Researcher whose practice is grounded in analogue photography and its intersections with ecology and place. Work is locally engaged and materially experimental, often exploring site-specificity and site-fidelity.
Over the past several years Remi has investigated how the material and receptive nature of analogue photography can lend itself to collaborative experiments and encounters. Their arts practice transforms into an active and lively ecology where they do not execute constant technical control over tools and materials but instead play one small role in the creation of works.
This practice of intentionally relinquishing agency becomes an invitation to other species, landscape processes and photographic materials to play an active role in image-making.
Once a year, we invite artists and creatives to apply for residency opportunities through our Artist Residency Program.
If successful, you will be allocated your own inspirational studio environment on the Northern Beaches, rent-free, and have a rare opportunity to experiment, express your artistic vision and contribute to the cultural life of the Northern Beaches.
Eramboo Artist in Residence Award
Northern Beaches Council and Eramboo Artist Environment have partnered together to provide a six-month artist residency, in an inspirational bushland environment, for an artist to develop a new body of work or a site responsive creative project.
The Eramboo Artist in Residence program offers free non-residential studio space at Eramboo Artist Environment in Terrey Hills, adjacent to the Ku-ring-gai National Park, a $3000 allowance for materials and mentoring and support towards an exhibition or public outcome.
Eramboo’s unique location gives artists an opportunity to disconnect from fast-paced urban environments, experiment creatively and develop their professional practice in a collaborative studio environment.
Find more details about the program in the Eramboo Residency Guidelines.
