Jemima Wyman: Deep Surface
LA-based Australian artist and Samstag Scholar (2005) Jemima Wyman’s (Palawa) practice is a visually and politically charged exploration of camouflage, collective organising, democracy and dissent. This survey exhibition of Wyman’s work spans decades. Known for her vivid, kaleidoscopic hand-cut collages, Wyman’s maximalist environments channel the upheaval, uncertainty, and distress of protest into a hypnotic and rhythmic harmony of patterned surfaces.

Jemima Wyman: Deep Surface is a QUT Galleries and Museums travelling exhibition curated by Katherine Dionysius.
