Drifting Matter; experimental site-responsive drawing with Emma Magnusson-Reid
Drifting Matter is a site-responsive drawing workshop exploring ideas of observation, collaboration, and surface as a process for developing a relationship with place. Participants will respond to the environment of Sawtooth’s 58 Lindsay Street premises and the adjacent North Esk River through guided drawing and investigational mark-making, using charcoal, graphite, and sumi ink.
This experimental workshop is developed in response to Sawtooth’s forthcoming relocation from its current home in Invermay and intends to act as a poetic offering that marks and celebrates this transition.

Emma Magnusson-Reid is a contemporary visual artist based on the northeast coast of Lutruwita / Tasmania. Her multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, works on paper, and installation, exploring intimate connections between nature, biology, and ancestral identity. Through speculative concepts, she reflects on shifting environments and the emotions they evoke.
With a sensitive, process-driven approach, Magnusson-Reid weaves together materials, collection, and making to examine human impact and what it means to live in proximity to the modern ‘natural’ world. Originally from the island’s northwest coast, she now works from her studio within the Five-Mile Bluff Nature Conservation Area and teaches in drawing and printmaking at the School of Creative Arts and Media, UTAS.
