documentation with a difference
indigo’s creative documentation seeks to share an experience or event by providing insight into the moments that make the whole.
What is this thing she’s calling creative documentation?
… with poetic impulse, curiosity and a flair for finding what might be forgotten or overlooked, indigo collects and pieces together moments, snippets, found words, objects and observations, to create and share a collaged record, a documentation of what has taken place. It’s honest, it’s unpredictable, it’s honest, it’s unique.
… it can be tailored to occassions in or outside of the arts. indigo loves to play across sectors (think social impact, law, health, housing, science …), and becomes quite intrigued by what others might call ‘dry’ or ‘boring’ … oh to be a fly on the wall at a spreadsheet conference!

Case Studies
I Noted this for you
Indigo creatively documented an experimental writers festival in Canberra. This was also delivered as a postal project and used to connect with remote audiences.
arts and disability residency
Indigo applied her creative documentation approach to craft a written and visual creative document informed by the experience of an arts and disability residency. Poems, reflections, statistics, experiences and feedback from participants were all gathered into a digital archive.
Testimonials
She offered a counter to contemporary festival documentation – which tends to be heavily skewed toward videography and other digital mediums – with a tactile and personalised approach.
… the results were both surprising and beautiful.
