Artsource in association with the Art Gallery Of Western Australia, contemporary Indigenous artists, Deborah Bonar and Sandra Hill talked about their practice with a focus on collaboration. Deborah Bonar and Sandra Hill discussed their experience navigating business collaborations with artists and fabricators cross-culturally in the complicated environment of public art.
Perth based artist, Deborah Bonar, has created a unique personal style, creating vibrant works with immense visual power and complexity. Her paintings are bold kaleidoscopes of vigorous lines and dots. Influenced by her Gija and Yamatji heritage, her artwork demonstrates the importance of place in forming cultural identity and in capturing and fascinating our imagination.
Nyoongar artist, Sandra Hill, was born in South Perth in 1951. Hill works across various media, including painting, printing, mixed-media collage, sculpture, installation and public art. Having these skills has meant that Hill has been in constant demand as an arts worker and she has worked for a number of institutions including the Longmore Remand Centre, Curtin University of Technology, Fish Mungah Aboriginal Cultural Arts Festival, Geraldton Regional Community Education, Artsource, Edith Cowan University and Fremantle Prison, undertaking roles such as workshop presenter, lecturer, teacher and researcher.
