Tanks Residency, Cairns
Residency: Wed 21 Jan - Sun 8 Feb 2026
Artist Talk : Sat 7 Feb
Tank 4 welcomes multidisciplinary artist, Christina Lowry, for a three-week residency.
Christina Lowry is a multidisciplinary artist with a research focused practice, working at the intersection of natural history, art and preservation. Recognised for her photography and installation work with central themes of nature, memento mori, and speculative archive.
The Logan based artist is currently completing her Master of Visual Art at Griffith University QCAD and will undertake work on her major project while in the studio. Christina’s work draws on museum archives, utilising new and traditional technologies to create non-remnant taxidermy specimens as speculative archives and art artefacts in response to avian decline. Through 3d scanning, metalsmithing, photography, and installation, Christina merges scientific dialogue with creative research. Ultimately seeking to create poetic memorials for vanishing species and propose new ways of seeing, remembering, and caring in the Anthropocene.
This residency is supported by Flying Arts as a result of Christina winning the 2025 Queensland Regional Art Award for Environmental Art.
