Galleries 02 and 03.
You all live between two realities. The internal one of self and the narratives which come with that and the external world and its demands and offerings. You navigate within and between these realities using your bodies as conduit and historian and your memories and identities are built through this navigation.
This video installation examines the connections and ruptures you make during this process. As an artist with a disability, Nikki's experience of living in this world and of reconciling the inherent disconnect between her external and internal existence can be a difficult and painful one. Overcoming the inherent dissonance and understanding connection is an ever-present challenge.
With these works, she uses the body as a tool to make these struggles visible. Her work is without context and is ambiguous so as to invite the viewer to bring their own narrative to the work and to connect with the universal bodily experience of the audience and the path that we all walk.
Please join in the Burrinja Gallery for the Exhibition Launch at 2pm Sunday 6 October – everyone is welcome.
