Arabella Walker Email and Phone Number

Arabella Walker is from the maternal line of the Auburn Hawkwood Wulli Wulli people.Walker's art practice focuses on the challenges of connecting to her First Nations histories whilst living in contemporary society. Walker meets this challenge by weaving Indigenous cultural knowledges of knowing and being and into diverse mediums of media such as paint, video projections, and installations. Emerging from a dance background, Walker incorporates multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary practices. From this dialogue Walker often uses her body to actively express concepts, stories, and cultural connections—engaging with explosions of colour and energetic mark making that washes over her and connects her to the traditions of ritual and ceremony as a form of contemporary expression. Walker’s creative process communicates a cultural intent in ways that words cannot. Walker is a recent graduate from the Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art degree, Qld College of Art, Griffith University. Walker has exhibited widely in solo and collaborative exhibitions; she has undertaken many artist residencies experimenting in different media.
