about
Jennifer is a writer, artist and researcher. She grew up on Taribelang Bunda country and has mongrel heritage. She creates work grounded in experimentation that seeks to reconfigure her own and collective relationship with place and the body. Motivating her practice is the commonplace censorship of the histories that are held in country across Australia. Within this context, her work is intentionally fragmentary: bringing together word, found materials, textiles, performance, installation, and image. Currently, she is an ARC Research Fellow at Nulungu Research Institute, University of Notre Dame and Lecturer in the South Australian School of Art, University of South Australia. Her words and artwork have recently been shared with the Kaurna Womens Art Collective (2023), NEOTERICA (2024), witness/ tree project (2023/24), Bowness Photography Prize (2024) and Westerly Journal (2024). She lives and works across Kaurna and Goolarabooloo country.
