Gunyah Residency 

Sarah Newall has worked over the past few years to make her practice and life sustainable and works towards zero-waste principles. She considers herself a maker and through fine-tuning her craft skills is working towards wearing clothes, shoes and accessories she has made herself using donated or second-hand materials wherever possible. ​

I undertook a residency in Outer Space at AirSpace Projects to transform a run-down light-industrial space into a sustainable gardening project. For this inaugural AirSpace Projects courtyard residency, I proposed to create a sustainable veggie garden, worm farm and my third Girl Shed with added substantial roof for water catchment.I relied on recycled materials (and a recycled artwork donated by Francesca Mataraga) as much as possible to develop my project. The project continued for about two years and was viewed as a work-in-progress, available for viewing and being-in during gallery opening hours. 
This project is an extension of my first/second Girl Shed projects which opened in December at Marrickville Garage and MOST open studio trail in March. The shed extends my interest in the domestic as a site and primary source of research within my practice. All wood for this project will be recycled from factories around Marrickville while other specific material I will be looking for donations or relying on purchasing from Reverse Garbage and The Bower.  Francesca Mataraga has donated old artworks which will provide all the wood for the front of the veggie boxes and cladding for the shed. Sourcing material from recycling to up-cycle is a relatively new aspect of my practice but it is an important part of my domestic environment and it only makes sense that this then flows over into my work. ​
