ARTIST STATEMENT
Mura Lag (Lots of home)
Media: Silk-cut Lino print
We had to create an artwork that we could carve out on a lino tile. The artwork is intended to be displayed at an exhibition of artwork at school. The problems I encountered was the lino mat was soft and felt as if it was disintegrating.
I got my design from Samoa, the Torres strait and indigenous Australia it was to show I have bloodline to many places.
The meaning of my design was to show that I come from a multicultural background, I could feel the connection to my home.
ARTWORK PROCESS
Artwork designed in pencil, traced onto lino and carved out. The lino was then printed in different coloured inks.
