Lantern Vaults
Prize Winner has been drawn
The raffle draw for Amanda Western’s work that brought you Lantern Vaults to the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute during the Ballarat Heritage Festival has been drawn.
The lucky winner will be notified by BMI President, Paula Nicholson.
Visitors had the oppportunity to move through the vaulted spaces in small groups, encountering a series of scenes that unfold quietly and gradually. The experience was of approximately 25–30 minute duration.
“This is about stepping into the building’s memory,” says Western. “You’re not just looking at history, you’re moving through it and meeting the people who lived and worked here.”
Lantern Vaults is written and directed by Amanda Western, featuring her detailed linocut artworks some in sculptural form, with animation and projection by Zlatko Balazic, and voice by Tabitha Rickard.
