My art practice explores Australian culture, landscape and identity. Current work investigates the colonial impact on First Nation peoples and contemplates notions of home, dispossession and reconciliation. My practice is a personal meditation that explores these issues using the humpy as an iconic muse.
The issues raised acknowledge the need for healing and change. ‘Home’ features life-size sculptural humpies made from a range of recycled and repurposed materials including corrugated iron, plastic packaging, advertising material, fake grass, playing cards and bandages. Each humpy is unique, colourful and thought provoking.
Opening event 2pm Saturday 12th August
