Miranda Hampson
Hampson’s practice is grounded in creating works based on the human experience with the aesthetics that connect her to her childhood, nature and culture. Being an Anaiwan woman, with a background in cultural heritage management and archaeology, Hampson aims to paint a landscape of Country that creates a new dialogue about how we move forward as First Nations people in all of our diversity. Whilst she expresses her narrative as an individual, there are a number of shared connections experienced by First Nations people, framed by common themes including kin, Country and the importance of place.
Miranda Hampson is a First Nations artist (Anaiwan), from Australia.
Miranda’s work honours First Nations connections to Country, drawing on her heritage and her background in cultural heritage management. Hampson’s practice is grounded in the shared experiences of kin, Country and place. Her art extends beyond the ecological, suggesting it as a means to heal and strengthen the bonds between people, land and culture.
Her works explore a visual language that is both personal and cultural. Each piece is a result of a ritual of repetition where mark making builds upon itself, creating richly layered surfaces that pulse with depth and intensity.
