This collection of Screen tests 2008-09, modelled on the famous ones by American Pop artist Andy Warhol in the mid 1960s, were made with drama and art students at Coolum State High School on the Sunshine Coast when Redford was artist–in-residence there in late 2008, after winning the Sunshine Coast Art Prize. The life and character of Reinhardt Dammn is the subject of their improvised settings and narratives.
