Jacqui Stockdale was the artist in residence during Circus Oz’s recent Melbourne season, STEAMPOWERED. During the shows Jacqui did live drawings of the performers under The Big Top in charcoal, conte and ink. This project continued Jacqui’s long-time collaboration with Circus Oz, who she has been capturing at work for more than six years.
Jacqui’s capacity to draw directly from life reflects her incredible talent. She was recently also artist in residence for Moira Finucane’s ‘Carnival of Mysteries’ shows in Melbourne, and did ‘on the spot’ drawings of passers by during a residency at Watch This Space during the Alice Springs Desert Festival.
