'Vision' depicts the band
@desmond_cheese and mirrors their upcoming release of the same title. This artwork is not a portrait piece delving into each band member but an attempt to capture the essence of the music's creative process. Coincidentally the band and I connected through friends at the start of our creative practices more than a decade ago. With ties to graffiti, art, hip hop, and jazz, the spontaneous connection has influenced my creative practice and way of thinking. Desmond Cheese has always had a clear vision for their music. And that is, most importantly, prioritising friendship, family, inclusivity and collaboration while allowing inspiration to come from the environment around them, often sampling sounds from nature. As a result, they have steadily produced music that I believe captures Brisbane, Queensland, a sound distinct to their way of life. Since those first interactions, these notions have always been in the back of my mind. I have tried to do the same with my work, aspiring to allow inspiration to come naturally from my surroundings, strengthened by the people around me. So often, we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day, losing sight of what's important. Prioritising the enjoyment of life with friends and family puts stress and anxiety into perspective, allowing for a more genuine creative practice that comes naturally.
Many thanks to everyone that worked on this year's festival and made all the artworks possible. Thanks
