'My family, my Torres Strait Islander heritage and my culture are my inspiration and are integral to my art. Art and my practice is important to me because it gives me a sense of belonging in my family, my heritage and my culture.’
The second commission in the National Gallery x Art Makers series is presented by Kalaw Lagaw Ya/Meriam Mir artist Janet Fieldhouse. Inspired by her matrilineal connections to the Torres Strait Islander communities, Fieldhouse is known for her usually intricate and small-scale sculptures which depict the elasticity in nature. This large-scale work for the National Gallery’s Sculpture Garden will be her most ambitious work to date.
This commission is made possible through the generous support of Art Makers.
Curator: Tina Baum, Gulumirrgin (Larrakia)/Wardaman/ Karajarri peoples, Curator, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art
