TESTIMONIALS

‘I saw Sounds from the Emergent State at the State Library and it was rad. I found a spot where I could have a 270 degree view and look left-right and see it all twisting. I really enjoyed the experience and the story told. Watched it all twice. I now only want to watch documentaries with 5 screens at once! Thanks for putting it together, really enjoyed!’ – Kane Casson.

‘This is an awesome thing you did here Sarah - giving some long overdue recognition to some underground artists in QLD. My Dad saw it and (being a jazz/ brass band musician) loved the brass band history section’ - Mikey Carter.
‘Moving Over the Shoreline was an ambitious site-specific work, beautifully realised. The level of work and care that went into the community consultation and development program, and the technical challenges overcome in relation to working on a historical building, were very impressive. The final projection was dynamic and celebratory – a real thing of beauty.’ – Lisa Dempster, Director, Melbourne Writers Festival

'Sarah-Mace Dennis is a talented arts professional whose own art practice intersects the boundaries between performance, film and visual art. Sarah is both innovative and resourceful in her approach to conceptualising and planning new projects, combining her depth of experience in the arts with her considerable administrative and management skills. Sarah is an organised and goal orientated worker with an exceptional eye for detail who welcomes opportunities to collaborate with others.' – Angeline Smith, Curator and Project Manger, Art Perspective.
‘These kind of projects call for artists who bridge the gap between traditional documentary film making and fine art gallery presentation. Sarah is an emerging artist in this still developing field and is already pushing its boundaries. ‘Moving Over the Shoreline’ explores a specific historical event/ period over the face of a building as a permanent film work, and her new work for the State Library develops a narrative within a room space that implicates the viewer in architectural space.’ - Kevin Wilson, Exhibitions Projects Curator. Learning & Participation, State Library of Queensland

‘I believe Sarah is an excellent example of the ways in which arts practitioners can effectively and creatively consolidate cultural heritage and responsibly produce creative futures .’ - Dr Jondi Keane
