ARTISTS STORY – JENNIFER WRIGHT (SUMMERS)
As Toowoomba feels the pressure of the shift from rural to regional, an artist envisages how development could engage people, build social capital and tell the stories of place in more aesthetic ways.
Thanks to ABC Open Southern Queensland, Penny Cowell, Mary-Kate Khoo and Jennifer Wright (Summers) came together to plan a documentary to demonstrate the move from rural to regional Southern Queensland.
After studying various examples of documentaries, the group gathered ideas about characters and how they could go about the task of producing a video documentary about a character who epitomised the rural to regional (Toowoomba) shift.
