We Built a House Out of Water is a deeply personal body of work that draws on memory, family, and culture – while understanding healing as an ongoing process.
Featured in this exhibition are multiple works that explore catharsis and expression through photography, stop-motion animation and alternative printing techniques. Developed at the intersection of religion and culture. The artist addresses the conflicting relationship of two complex belief systems and how they both simultaneously impact the identity of the Artist, her Family and wider community in Zenadth Kes (Torres Straits).
This exhibition is presented in partnership with BlakDot Gallery, and is supported by Spicers, Hahnemuhle, HCPro and Colour Factory.
Peta Duncan is an emerging lens-based artist using alternative printmaking processes. Interested in contention and juxtapositions, she explores embedding cultural practice into different contemporary photographic mediums and approaches.
