Mari Hirata is being mentored by Alasdair Macintyre as part of JUMP, the Australia Council’s national mentoring program for young and emerging artists.
Mari Hirata is a fine art/photography based artist, currently residing and practicing on the Gold Coast. Mari’s work lies strongly within the components of installation, sculpture and photography, with a profound emphasis on notions of multiplicity and repetitiveness. This has been explored in particular through her key primary subject to date, the White High Heel Shoes. Since her final year of study, Mari has continued to explore and expand on the subject of the high heeled shoes, during which her works have been influences by traditional Japanese woodblock prints and concepts of the Rorschach Test.
