Skye Malu Baker

Honours

Working in painting, object making and printmaking, I am deeply grateful to practice on Wurundjeri land. My practice is curious about the space between beings, objects and time, and is based in a methodology of collage. Disparate elements are invited into my studio and deployed to awaken precarious narrative atmospheres that are always incomplete. Influenced by fragments of cultural histories, the temporal slipperiness of the autobiographical and the active properties of the technologies and materials with which I collaborate, my work is concerned with the intertextual, the tension between the graphic and the gestural, and with narrative glitches in their many forms. Semiotic instability and inconsistencies intrigue me greatly and offer up undefined spaces that make way for the poetic and unsayable.
