Hybridentity: Top Arts 2018
Denim, Cotton | 88.2 x 148.0 cm
In 2018 my artwork, ‘Hybridentity’ was selected as part of the Top Arts exhibition held at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, Fed Square, showcasing the work of students who had completed Art or Studio Arts as part of their VCE. Having been selected from the 2,200 plus applicants across Victoria this opportunity allowed me to also demonstrate my folio development over the year and discuss my inspiration, ideas and practices.
Conceptually, ‘Hybridentity’ explores my individual identity through the combination of my parents' nationalities, being South African and Australian. Elements from each country’s flag have been layered to create a unifying flag reflecting my personal identity.
