Lorraine Connelly-Northey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lorraine Connelly-Northey's artistic practice is influenced by both her western and Indigenous heritage. She is known for her over-sized woven installations that take the shape of traditional Aboriginal everyday life objects, such as koolimans (bowls) and narbongs (dilly bags).[3] For creating her pieces she uses found natural and industrial materials, such as feathers, shells, corrugated iron, and wire.
Connelly-Northey has exhibited in the 2nd International Indigenous Triennial (2013),[4] the 7th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (2013), and in the 18th Biennale of Sydney (2010).[5]
Her work is held by important collections, including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney;[6] Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney;[7] National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne;[8] Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane,[9] among others.
In 2023, to commemorate 100 years of legacy, the Australian War Memorial acquired a sculpture by Connelly-Northey, which consists of 100 steel-made coolamons.[10]
