Sarah Nelson (WA)

Sarah Nelson’s Quick Response residency will support her continued development of *Into the Fog*, a performance integrating unconventional masks, puppetry, illusion and interactive design.

Evolving the everyday into the hyperreal, Into the Fog is inspired by Nelson’s account of living in prolonged isolation with Long Covid and her subsequent development of FND.

Supported by PICA’s Art Ambassadors.
