Sketch of Blackett’s Barn at Tocal Homestead by Todd Fuller
Blackett’s Barn
Artist Todd Fuller is currently developing a distinctive body of work, featuring drawings and animations that explore the fascinating history of the Blackett Barn at Tocal Homestead. Through his animations, Todd brings the story of this historic structure to life. The completed work will be showcased at Tocal Museum in early 2025
This work is for the This Here Then Now project, a museum activation initiative funded by the Regional Arts Fund. This project, created by Arts Upper Hunter in collaboration with the Dungog Museum, Scone Museum, and Tocal Homestead, invites artists to explore museum collections, selecting stories, places, or objects as inspiration for new works.
The This Here Then Now project was conceived by Arts Upper Hunter and developed in partnership with local museums.
In 2024 three Upper Hunter regional museums were selected to work with resident artists; Sophie Cox at Scone Museum, Helene Leane at Dungog Museum and Todd Fuller at Tocal Homestead. This was made possible by the Australian Government Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia, the NSW Government and C B Alexander Foundation.
