About

Jessye Wdowin-McGregor’s multidisciplinary practice draws on her experience of place and the human and natural forces that shape our environment. A connection to nature underpins much of her work and she explores landscape as a reflection on how we coexist with other beings. She is interested in edges, overlooked terrains and in-between spaces (and the encounters that take place there), granting attention to what otherwise might go unseen. Her work is made directly within and by gathering material from the sites she engages with, as well as through reinterpreting or altering pre-existing imagery. Themes of metamorphosis, flux and transformation are threaded through her work, and she draws influence from mythological references, the entanglements between humans and other species, layering and superimposition and aspects of surrealism.  

The artist acknowledges the Kulin Nations as the sovereign custodians of the land where she lives, works, and makes. She pays respects to their Elders, past and present, and to all First Nations people.
