Jemima Lucas

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours)

I investigate the productive powers between psychological and materially opposed gestures of control and release/power and agency. My assemblages hold allegorical potential, situating the works as active conduits for the body. Through balanced expressions of perpetration and yield, antithetical forces negotiate their impact on one another.

Materials are the primary point of departure in my practice, and I would like to acknowledge the First Nations people from whose lands they are sourced. I feel the gravity of sourcing material mined from unceded Indigenous land when I mix sand into a cement, mix scoria to invest, weld steel, pour latex and cast aluminium. I pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
