Join us for a conversation about identity and sense of place with three emerging artists. Reflecting on personal and shared ways of being, each panellist will reflect on how their practice has been shaped by place and space. From film photography and moving image to engraved porcelain tiles, each work is inspired by or responds to specific sites, including the Australian bush, domestic interiors, suburbia, and cultural institutions.
Curated by Saul Flaxman and Alexander Colley Hart
Artists:
Eliza Faull’s practice centres around the thematics of space. She is interested in translating artistic and cultural institutions into the raw geometry of their floor plans. Working in sculptural photography, her work involves digging architectonic shapes of cultural spaces into the land, and documenting these forms with large format film.
Harrison Mae is an emerging artist living and creating on unceded Dharawal Land. His practice is preoccupied with the complex histories found within the ruin and debris of Australian colonialism. He is fascinated with the symbols and mythologies forged by colonial Australia to legitimise its presence on stolen Aboriginal land by manufacturing an identity within the landscape.
Sophia Olivieri’s practice intervenes in the iconography and imagery of film, specifically Hollywood depictions of gender dynamics, female subordination, cultural stereotypes, and hyper-masculinity. Her work reframes and abstracts existing filmic imagery using unconventional mediums and surfaces such as textiles and tiling—materials associated with the domestic and feminine.
