Mia Boe

Mia Boe.jpg

Mia Boe is a painter from Meanjin (Brisbane). Her mother is of the Badtjala people from K’gari (Fraser Island) and her father is Burmese. Her work looks at the brutal and violent history of colonisation in Australia through a contemporary perspective.

Boe's art practice records and recovers Indigenous histories which Australia seeks to deny. This practice of recovery is urgent in contemporary Australia: the patient work of tracing historical trauma and violence can open new perspectives on the reasons for Aboriginal Australians' present suffering.

Jieun Ha

Jieun Ha primarily works with painting examining the relationship between geometric forms and vernacular objects. Her image sources are collected from her attraction to un-designed products or accessible objects with ready-made patterns which are then re-formatted and examined through a process of distortion and erratic formations on uninterrupted surfaces. The process highlights and monumentalises abandoned images and allows to investigate her attraction and relationship to “hot spots.”
