The artworks in Worlds Around Us by Sammy Hawker are interactions between the artist and the more-than-human worlds she encounters. Following the humpback whale cycle of migration along the east coast of Australia, the works explore interspecies dialogue, material presence and how a practice of curiosity cultivates empathy and care.
Hawker’s multidisciplinary practice embraces text, sculpture, photography, sound and moving image. These works form a vast and ongoing archive, documenting sites and moments of exchange.
A Tweed Regional Gallery initiative. The Nancy Fairfax Artist in Residence studio is supported by benefactor Mr Tim Fairfax AC via the Tweed Regional Gallery Foundation Ltd.
