Biography
Gamilaraay and Yeeralaraay sculptor and performance artist living in remote South West Queensland, Australia. Mayrah’s installation work critically explores the role of placeness and placelessness with respect to Aboriginal peoples within Australian society. In addition, the interplay of time, space and perception on arts experiences are key to her work. She also contributes to international debates through installation work, painting and performance. This work focuses on the intersections between non-Indigenous and Indigenous artists, minorities and power groups. Mayrah is a strong advocate for her community and has established several artist groups in various locations where she has resided. In 2012 she was the secretary for C-ART (Community artists re-thinking) and a director of the Dinjerra Foundation, a small Aboriginal Arts and Cultural organisation located in South West Queensland focused on the sustainability of Aboriginal arts and cultural practices.
