About occupants
Nathan's a FT prof Visual Artist, Filmmaker + Musician, great guy, friendly, interesting guy. Originally from Wales, last year he was visiting Asia; exhibiting in Sydney before that; working for the NGA as artist in residence in Kalgoorlie-Boulder WA, exhibiting here in Canberra, and visiting galleries and artists in the US, UK + Beijing. Nathan's often out and about, either at his studio, or exhibiting, screening or playing, and otherwise out seeing what everyone else is doing. And when he's home, he's good company. He's a good listener and he's also full of interesting news, jokes and wild stories.

I'm Rik, I'm a pro. writer actor producer. I've worked with musicians, live venues, dance clubs; in radio, acrobatics. improv theatre film media & writing & activist politics, at places like JJJ, ZZZ, 2SER, Fuji TV, The Greens, Greenpeace, Apple, Lloyds, Sydney Festival, arts companies, little businesses, running media for election campaigns, and touring poetry + comedy around the country. Originally from Sydney, I'm loving the ACT and I'm currently researching and writing for a story based multimedia project, and studying part time.

Nathan and I are interested in people, culture, science, politics and the world. More into understanding than judging, we get along with all sorts of people. We both enjoy a chat and both appreciate the need for space. So it's a friendly supportive home you won't get cold shouldered here, and you won't get crowded out.
Compatible people
This is a welcoming place. All sorts of people were here before I moved in, and since I moved in, in February, it's been great with no dramas around anything. Whatever your gender, sexuality, age, race, culture or views, if you're a tolerant person, and if you just look after the basics (tidying up after yourself, sorting bills on time) we'll get along well.
Description of pets
Nathan's dog, Shadow is a sweet hearted, 5 year old, handsome black Labradoodle, who traveled here with Nathan from Wales. He'll get excited and bark when people arrive but won't jump all over anyone and is otherwise quiet and friendly.
