Kelly Koumalatsos + abstract painter Lesley Dumbrell + Claudia Nicholson
Manage episode 430456613 series 2902656
Three women and three artists with three very different ways of looking at the world: Kelly Koumalatsos has a book (Madjem Bambandila) that charts three and half decades of her art practice (including possum skin cloak making) that is always embedded in culture.
At 82, abstract painter Lesley Dumbrell has her first career survey at a major state gallery, Lesley Dumbrell: Thrum.
And Claudia Nicholson, who was adopted from Colombia as an infant, treats photos taken by other people like an archive of recovered memories. Daniel came to know her via an ephemeral and transformative performance work. You can see her latest work in Sydney: If the mountain is burning, let it burn.
