NAOMI ZOUWER<br />
Naomi Zouwer is a Canberra born and based cross-disciplinary artist who works<br />
with drawing, painting, and textiles mediums to make works that engage with<br />
ideas of identity, cultural heritage and the role of domestic objects as conduits to<br />
understanding how we belong and connect to the past and the present.<br />
Zouwer’s recent practice-led PhD project at the ANU draws on the traditions of<br />
still life painting and domestic embroidery to explore the relationship of family<br />
keepsakes to ideas of time, memory and migration stories.<br />
The Unbridled Series considers the representation of women’s bodies in art history<br />
by male artists from the 1400-1700s, as well as ideas of body image and discomfort.<br />
The male gaze is subverted by re-interpreting early European Master drawings into<br />
contemporary hand stitched drawings. The soft, voluptuous and fleshy figures stand<br />
in contrast to the vintage Barbie doll clothes worked into the drawings. The dresses<br />
appear restrictive, ill-fitting and uncomfortable, they invite the viewer to consider<br />
relationships we have with our bodies and clothes.<br />
