Fragments of Remembering is a new body of work by Yuwaalaraay, Gamilaraay and Koama artist Melissa Stannard. Developed from her research into archival records of Aboriginal reserves, missions and family members, Melissa’s works in jewellery, sculpture, assemblage and textiles embrace the damaged parts of herself, her culture and family history. By stitching together lost, discarded, rusted and broken fragments, her works document a journey of discovery, identity and strength where history and healing meet.
The exhibition will be on display at QSA from 3 August – 30 September 2020. The exhibition is open 9.00am – 4.30pm Monday – Friday, and the second Saturday of each month.
