BIO
Miranda Hampson is an artist of Aboriginal descent (Aniawan), she is recognised as part of the Aboriginal community at Uralla, and is practicing on Dharawal Country.
Miranda’s work honours First Nations connections to Country, drawing on her heritage and her background in cultural heritage management. Her practice is grounded in the shared experience of kin, Country and place whilst suggesting it as a means to heal and strengthen the bonds between people, land and culture.
Miranda’s works explores a visual language that is both personal and cultural. Each piece is a result of a ritual, where mindful mark making builds upon itself, creating richly layered surfaces that pulse with depth and intensity.
EXHIBITION STATEMENT
The ideation behind ‘confluence’ comes from the need to acknowledge and promote First Nations sustainable practices whilst fostering a deeper understanding of the diverse perspectives we all hold.
“The coming together of different ideas, knowledge, perspectives and narratives – like the joining of rivers and waterways, they hold significant scientific, cultural and spiritual value” – Miranda Hampson.
