Comes with the Territory

22 November - 22 December 2012

 

Comes with the Territory is an exhibition of new work from Darwin artist Merran Sierakowski. The exhibition features small sculptures and woodblock prints with uniquely local (Northern Territory) themes.

 

‘The creatures depicted in this exhibition are an opinionated lot and express themselves loudly and often on subjects they may or may not know anything about. In a uniquely Territorian way they examine what means to be part of their community, part of the rest of Australia and part of the rest of the world.’ Merran Sierakowski 2012.

 

Merran Sierakowski has lived and worked in the Northern Territory since the 1980’s, exhibiting regularly in group shows in Australia and overseas. Merran is a prolific artist who consistently addresses social, political and environmental issues, human rights, cultural identity and sense of place. Her art consists of limited edition wood cut prints, sculpture and installations which are often ironic and whimsical. She uses a variety of techniques incorporating fabric, paper, metal, stone, wire, wood and found objects.
