Josh is one of our ‘The Exquisite Familiar’ artists. ‘The Exquisite Familiar’ is an Access2Arts project that sees a group of eleven South Australian disabled artists, both emerging and established, working together through multiple workshops and mediums to create powerful collaborative art. This art is then exhibited at the Art Gallery of South Australia and MOD., placing disabled artists firmly and proudly in prominent institutions.
What was the inspiration for your uncanny creature?
The monster from my imagination and a movie. Its name is Mudkar.
Tell us a bit about yourself and your artistic practice.
I’m Josh. I do colouring and some painting and some sketches and storyboards. I like to draw landscapes, forests and beaches and cities.
How does your disability influence your craft?
I like finishing paintings before starting something new.
Where else do you find inspiration?
I don’t know.
What food, drink, or song inspires you?
Apples and biscuits and chocolate milk. I like disco hits.

On the Artist Interview page Access2Arts asks an interviewer to talk to an artist.
An interview is a conversation where the interviewer asks questions and the person answering is called the interviewee.
The interviewer’s job is to find out about the artist called the interviewee.
To do this, the interviewer asks lots of questions.
The interviewer gives Access2Arts a great story about the artist and we put it on our website.
The interviews can be written for you to read.
Recorded so you can listen to the interview.
On video so you can watch the interview.
Sometimes the interviewer gets very creative. The interview is like art!
