During her residency with two other practising artists, Inga utilised the vast space of the Powerhouse to make large scale drawings. Inspired by the history of the building and its surrounds, each drawing responded to the patina of marks on the walls, floors and the incidental placement of machinery, tools and wires. The drawings became a process of negotiation - where erasure held as much significance as the mark itself. Inga will complete another residency in January 2026.
