Join us for a special artist talk with Kerry Martin to learn more about her exhibition, The Materialisation of Testament.
Kerry Martin is a visual artist currently undertaking a creative practice PhD at the University of Canberra’s Centre for Creative and Cultural Research.
Her artistic practice and research interests focus on how art can facilitate continuing conversations around issues of social injustice. Her PhD examines the issue of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in Australia and her first solo exhibition in 2022 was a response to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.
Martin works with textile, photographic and print techniques, often combining these approaches. Her work focuses on manual methods, and she frequently employs the slow, repetitive, and meditative process of hand stitching as a fundamental element in her work. She is interested in how beauty, text, the repetition of mark making, and the multiplicity of display can be a powerful form of bearing witness.
