‘A Seemingly Mundane Tapestry’ 
Nabe Studios

18 July -  2 Aug, 2023

​

What questions do we ask those close to us, to get to know who they are? The unique, strange, wonderful person beyond the readily told and repeated family stories, their hobbies, or their job or self given titles? How well do we know our parents, our grandparents, our or siblings?

 

‘A Seemingly Mundane Tapestry’ is a participatory art installation asking viewers to reflect and anonymously respond to seemingly mundane questions. Viewers place their answers in the response box, to then be posted up in The Window; slowly weaving together a collective tapestry of likes, dislikes, memories, habits, hopes, thoughts and ways of doing things. Things that together, create an intimate insight into who is a person is when they are just being them.

​

A full catalogue of collected responses will be made into a small book shortly.

I respectfully acknowledge the Arrernte people of Mparntwe, the traditional custodians of the land on which I live, create art, work and engage. I pay my respects to Elders past and present, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wider Central Desert and Northern Territory communities and beyond. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.

 

I acknowledge the important role that storytelling and community has played on these lands for thousands of years and feel privileged to work alongside communities continuing the creative practice of the oldest surviving culture in the world.
