Miri Badger presents FACES: a series documenting material experimentation in figurative representation. Distinctive combinations of material components are utilised in each portrait— choruses of pencil, crayon, pastel, oil paint, acrylic paint, and collage techniques are encouraged to coexist on canvas and wood panel. Playfully changing the ingredients of her works in this way has allowed for a plethora of textural qualities to be rendered via a stylised colour palette. Presenting faces as semi-abstracted movements of colour across a plane, these works reveal Badger’s experimentation with alternative representations of the three-dimensional human form.
The works will be displayed in the FORA window until March 19th.
Artworks will be available for purchase. For more information, please visit
Miri Badger is a representational painter living and working in Meanjin/Brisbane. Utilising a highly-saturated colour palette and assertively flat brushstrokes to render form, her chosen subject matter stems from an investigation of uncanny human interaction and psyche.
The amalgamation of seemingly mismatched objects and figures represented in ambiguous spaces culminates in a cocktail of pathos and eerie amusement in her paintings.
The FORA/squared series is a bi-monthly exercise in activating the beautiful window space that throws an oblique shoulder from the gunsmith’s alley at 75 Vulture St. This project is eternally grateful to the upstairs residents (Autumn Studio + Lance Montana) for lending this space.

pps/FORA is a physical and online hot space ARI. Based in Meanjin (Brisbane)
it is a diaristic publishing and portfolio space for the community. The name champions afterthought as valid thought, and public discussion as an essential puzzle piece.

pps/FORA seeks to bring forward the intertextuality that we reside in, and the inextricable ways in which art and life are linked. That is an obvious point, but one that must be constantly remarked upon, as it is one we are constantly surprised by. To be reminded of these circles is to be drawn back into the fold, equipped with the tools of thinking critically and acting compassionately. pps/FORA is developed on the land of the Jagera and Turrbal peoples
