Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary art piece features a striking black-and-white sculptural work, resembling a large amorphous form draped in a cloak or shroud. The surface of the form is covered in a collage-like array of printed imagery, depicting a diverse range of surreal and abstract elements, including stylized faces, symbols, and geometric patterns. The overall composition is visually captivating, with the sculptural quality and bold, graphic imagery creating a sense of dynamic tension. The artist's use of this unconventional approach, combining sculpture and printmaking, suggests an intention to explore themes of identity, fragmentation, and the subconscious. This thought-provoking work invites the viewer to engage with its multifaceted layers of meaning. ...

B.1977, Australian

Jemima Wyman is interested in the notion of visual resistance through camouflage, patterning and masking. The artist – a palawa woman who is a descendant of the pairrebeener people of tebrakunna and poredareme – investigates and considers camouflage, when used by marginalised groups, as a tactic and subversive political and social strategy used to gain counter-power in conflict zones. Wyman recognises the importance of opacity in a post-truth society marred by state surveillance and hyper-transparency. Not only does camouflage and masking obscure identity, but ‘communal skins’ can act as a binding agent, creating collective identities; ‘when worn, a mask may permit an individual to simultaneously transgress social boundaries while belonging to a group. In this way, identity is expressed yet anonymity is protected.’ Written by Goldsmiths CCA ...
