Thank you for joining us!! 🛰️💞

This sums up how I also feel after the wonderful @aussts.bsky.social conference this week. Thank you to all organisers and presenters 🙌🏼

Presenting in the making & doing session @aussts.bsky.social was a fantastic opportunity to show and discuss the materiality of creative research.

The illustration is made with red and blue pen, featuring stylised sketches of speakers (including portraits labelled Dang, Fabian, Ranjodh, Kate), computers, loudspeakers, waveforms, and snippets of handwritten quotes and thoughts.

The loveliness just won't stop! Holly O'Neil (UTS) is drawing every session she's attending, and she showed me this this morning!
