Description

At Tocal Field Days, award-winning artist Todd Fuller's immersive animation installation They Call Me Blacket will transform Tocal Homestead's Stone Barn Stables. This six-minute animation breathes life into the narratives of the historic Blacket Barn, built in 1867 and designed by renowned church architect Edmund Blacket. The installation is part of the This Here Then Now museum activation project by Arts Upper Hunter's Creative Valleys Cultural Tourism Initiative, which aims to reimagine regional storytelling. In 2024, three Upper Hunter regional museums were selected to host resident artists: Todd Fuller at Tocal Homestead, Sophie Cox at Scone Museum, and Helene Leane at Dungog Museum. This project connects communities with their heritage in innovative ways. Todd's work makes local history both accessible and emotionally resonant. Fuller, an internationally exhibited artist with works in collections including Parliament House, brings his expertise in narrative animations to the project. His hand-drawn work focuses on the Blacket Barn, weaving architectural heritage into a beautiful animation. The installation is supported by the Australian Government's Regional Arts Fund, the NSW Government, and the C.B. Alexander Foundation, representing an investment in cultural preservation and community engagement. Todd Fuller is represented by M Contemporary Gallery, Sydney.
