Merinda Davies (b.1991) is an artist using performance, movement, installation and conversation to ask how we might reorient ourselves towards deeper care and intimacy.

Her work is inspired by the environment, human and more-than-human social and ecological structures and the possibilities available to us in future imaginings. Her practice aims to find clarity and connection in the external world through deep listening, observation, and research into the emotional and physical states in our internal worlds. She grew up in Bundjalung Country, Northern NSW, and is currently living and creating on the land of the Yugambeh language group, in South East QLD.

Moreton Bay Regional Gallery, Arts Northern Rivers/Lismore Regional Gallery, HOTA, Home of the Arts, Metro Arts, Institute of Modern Art, Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, City of Gold Coast, Outer Space and The Walls Artspace. She is currently an artist in Generate GC, an initiative between City of Gold Coast and Situate Art in Festivals (Conversations with the Forest, ongoing).
