Farm Yard | Lori Pensini
Winner 3D - Composite / Assemblage Award
Oil on xanthorrhoea heart wood
Height: 59cm. Width: 44cm.
This is my grandmother’s story of stoic, no frills, self sufficiency farming, in the wheatbelt of WA. The nature of women’s farm work is often rendered invisible, dismissed as ‘domestic’, and ‘ordinary’, when the work is often the backbone in sustaining families, farms and communities.
My art practice is an exploration of myself, my identity and placement within my family’s multifaceted history. It is illustrated directly from lived experiences on country and my responses to, and relationship with our landscape. Matrilineal memories within my shared European and indigenous histories in the Australian landscape, engages commentary around the simultaneously constructive and destructive relationship between wo(man) and land especially in the regenerative context.
