CURRICULUM VITAE:

Name:                         Belynda Waugh (Work signed as Bindi)

I am an indigenous artist currently living in Yarwun which is 20km north of Gladstone in central Queensland. I identify as an Iman and Bundjalung woman.

ARTFORMS:

Pottery and Ceramics.

In 1993 I established Yarwun Pottery. Equipment includes a 17 cubic ft gas kiln,

4 cubic ft electric kiln, slab roller and pottery wheel.  At present all work is slip cast, highly decorated and often gift boxed. At present work is mainly produced for commission and also exhibition.

Commercial illustrator and author.

Work is by commission only and includes illustrations for children’s books through Black Ink Press, Townsville and Central Queensland University Press, Rockhampton. Work as a poet is used by the Queensland Education Department in upper primary indigenous studies curriculum.

Workshops and Artist Talks:

I offer a range of one- or two-day workshops. I also can conduct outcome specific projects such as the Water Towers Project where a 138 sq mt mural was painted on a concrete water tank by the indigenous community of Biloela. Other projects include “Metal and Mangroves “with the Curtis Coast Literary Carnivale and Book Links Queensland. This project involved 15 upper primary level students who wrote and illustrated a series of stories regarding the interaction between industry and the environment. The resulting work was exhibited at The Edge, State Library of Queensland during the Brisbane Writers Festival and then toured regional Queensland. These works where then published.  In 2011 I held a series of workshops in Mt Morgan, with the indigenous community to complete 5 panels which are part of the new indigenous display at the Mt Morgan Museum.
