Interior is a single channel video work and soundtrack made during a remote residency with Outer Space ARI in 2020. The work was a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent periods of mandated physical distancing. The colours are drawn from interior walls of the artist’s home as well as those of loved ones living interstate who were cut off during border closures. The soundtrack was developed from field recordings gathered from inside the artist’s home during lockdown.
This project was assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, it’s art funding and advisory body.

Footsteps on the back path was an immersive installation made in collaboration with Thomas Kidd. Drawing on childhood experiences of auditory hallucination, this exhibition considered processes of crossmodal perception, as well as the spaces between objective truth and fiction. Fragments of memory, both real and constructed, were reimagined in a physical space to be shared with others.

A collaborative exhibition between Bridie Gillman, Sarah Poulgrain & Kylie Spear
The height of a mountain, the width of a valley explored ways in which different perceptions of place can be conveyed through collaborative contemporary practice. Following a group residency in rural NSW, Brisbane artists Bridie Gillman, Sarah Poulgrain and Kylie Spear used the signifying potential of found materials and the experiential qualities of time-based media to elicit competing experiences of awkwardness and familiarity in the landscape.

Blue Monaro was a collaborative exhibition of new work by Brisbane artists Bridie Gillman and Kylie Spear. This exhibition responded to The Walls’ location in Miami, Gold Coast; one of Australia’s most popular tourist destinations. Blue Monaro utilised objects associated with Miami's 'leisure lifestyle' in order to elicit experiences of sentimentality, seduction and awkwardness. Using the colour blue as a filter, this exhibition connected the physicality of overused materials with an imagined bodily history.
