About The Artwork
Auslan sculptures were created from spatial movements of our Australian Deaf sign language, during a performance in the Melbourne Fringe Festival. I then plaster coated each piece and painted them, gold leafed some of them, some left white as part of the melding into one social gathering in a room. Some of the work included drawing on the large rag paper the sculptures are pasted on and the drawn in pieces are among the real sculptures. I also made sculptures from fabric to include the diversity of Deaf people and Hearing who come to Deaf social get-togethers. This piece was created in response to Language and Liberty, and was selected as a finalist for the Noel Counihan Commemorative Art Prize in November 2019 and is currently in exhibition at the Counihan Gallery until December 2019. This artwork is not framed, but hung with a wood rod, securely set in with screws and bolts and wire hanging the artwork to the wall.
