Banksia: Nicholas Currie on installation as part of West Space exhibition 'Stranger than fiction'
Artist Nicholas Currie joined Vanessa Morris on Banksia to talk all about their installation as part of the upcoming Stranger than fiction exhibition at West Space.
Stranger than fiction brings together artists based locally, nationally and internationally who will engage in troubling the boundaries between reality and fiction through a range of works and mediums.
Nicholas also spoke about the expansion of their creative practice across different mediums and working with different materials including painting in beeswax, which was recently presented through CAVES Gallery and ceramics which was part of the Koorie Heritage Trust's Fire Up: Stories Through Embers and Earth.
Nicholas is a descendent of the Mulunjali Clan of the Yugambeh people and Kudu Yalanji people of Brisbane and Beaudesert and Kuku Yalanji people of the rainforest regions of Far North Queensland.
Stranger than fiction is at West Space from 29 June - 31 August
