Kellie O’Dempsey completed a three year research project, The Spectacle of Performance Drawing as a Master of Arts where she used a practice-led research methodology. The interview gives context to O’Dempsey’s creative arts practice by describing a recent performance at the Museum of Old and New Art, Festival of Music and Art, Hobart, Tasmania in January, 2012. Her practice of performative drawing amalgamates lyrical mark-making with digital technologies and inclusive collaborations with other performers and audiences. In the interview she discusses the aleatoric processes associated with the work, describing the elements of chance that infect the drawings. The discussion, along with its accompanying photo-essay, illuminates a dynamic example of an emergent research practice where performance drawing becomes a method of research through its own production and reflexion.
