About The Artwork
I created a set of paper sculptures from spatial movements of our Deaf sign language, Auslan and these shapes were formed to create a conversation. This one is about communicating with me and says "I'm Deaf - my identity - communicate - with - me - in - auslan - my friend - how are you? - birth." The pieces are white, on white wall to show the melding of hands of signing in a room of Deaf people. This artwork was selected as a finalist for the Banyule Award for Works on Paper, and subsequently sold at the finalist exhibition in August 2019. More conversation pieces are being created and each one varies with colour, texture, shape, and embellishments.
