Biography
Cartoonist, painter, sculptor and jewellery designer, trained in Melbourne. In the 1980s she made popular 'wild and witty’ costume jewellery that was exhibited in Europe and the USA. She was also a founding member of the Fashion Design Council of Australia. She exhibits her sculpture, furniture, jewellery and paintings at Ray Hughes Gallery, Sydney, and at Gabrielle Pizzi, Melbourne. In the 1990s Durham’s comical stationery designs and illustrations were a hit in Japan, and since then she has primarily focused on cartooning and 2-D illustrations. Her anthology Trust, Lust, Chaos and Cruelty (Hardie Grant Books, South Yarra Vic, 2001), a book of pictures about courtship ('couchplay’) is like a kinky, sick, 21st century version of Betty Paterson’s cupie-doll lovers (with the same rather saccharine, single-joke superficiality). Married to Julian Burnside and heavily involved in helping refugees, including doing posters, e.g. wide-eyed Muslim girl (see Weekend Australian: Weekend Magazine November 2002).
