Join artists Natalya Hughes and Amanda Bennetts in conversation with Megan Williams from UniSC Art Gallery.

Natalya Hughes' practice is concerned with decorative and ornamental traditions and their associations with the feminine, the body and excess. Recent bodies of work investigate the relationship between Modernist painters and their anonymous women subjects.

Amanda Bennetts' practice is grounded in the lived experience of a body in flux, shaped by chronic illness and disability. Drawing on clinical and wellness aesthetics, she positions the body as a critical site of inquiry.

Both artists will speak about the research, ideas and development of the works in their respective exhibitions.

Stay on for the official opening of Natalya Hughes: The Interior and Amanda Bennetts: Fragmented, divided—yet whole from 3 - 5pm.
