Biography
Annette Sax is a Taungurung (Victoria) woman, based in Melbourne, who works with ochres on canvas and silk. These works often tell the stories of her heritage and its people from Sugarloaf Creek, near Broadford in country Victoria. In 2008 Sax showed her work in the group show 'Connecting to Country’ at Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre, Melbourne Museum, with Mandi Barton, Andrew Travis-Clarke, Lee-anne Clarke and Paola Morabito. That same year she was the recipient of Cancer Victoria’s 'Indigenous Visual Art Outstanding Entry’ in their Arts Awards where the judge, Bronwyn Razem, said of her work on Cancer Victoria’s website, that the “use of ochres and patterns shows that the artist understands the cultural significance of her tribal history” (www.cancervic.org.au/indigenous_visual_art_08.html, accessed 28 Jan 2009).Sax was selected as a finalist in the 2008 Victorian Indigenous Art Awards for her 2008 work Nira illiam buluk (Our people, Our place), which is made of felt, silk and wood.
