Judy Watson was born in Mundubbera, Queensland. Her Aboriginal matrilineal family is from Waanyi country in north-west Queensland. The artist’s process evolves from site and memory, revealing Indigenous histories, following lines of emotional and physical topography that centre on particular places and moments in time.

Spanning painting, printmaking, drawing, sculpture and video, her practice often draws on archival materials to unveil institutionalised discrimination against Aboriginal people.

Judy holds an Honorary Doctorate of Art History by the University of Queensland.

In her curating Andrea explores the afterlives and migrations of images, and ways of creating and enlivening dialogues between historical and contemporary art.

Justene Williams is well-known for large performances, video installations, photographs and, more recently, figurative sculptures that are roughly hewn from foam and fibreglass constructed in combination with readymade objects. Drawing from personal narrative, religions, rituals and mythology, channelling spirits of art history, transforming the prosaic through action, energy and emotion, Williams attempts to conjure invisible forces between corporeal and intangible worlds.

Justene’s work offers an inquiry into the lifespan of found objects, histories, and beliefs.
