Peta has been awarded a three month residency at SymbioticA Centre of Excellence in Biological Arts at the University of Western Australia located in the School of Anatomy and Human Biology. Peta will undertake the residency at the end of 2010 with London/Sydney based artist Helen Pynor which will include learning microsurgery techniques for their collaborative project 'The Body is a Big Place'.

DOCTORATE COMPLETION

During 2009 Peta completed her PhD in Fine Art in the Faculty of Art & Design at Monash University. Her project titled 'Amorphous Bodies - the space between' explored the theme of the fragile and mutable human body. Informed by artist residencies in genetics laboratories, and archival research on the artist Helen Chadwick, four series of photographic artworks presented unique visual representations of the body in relation to medical and feminist discourses.
