Jacqueline Jacky

LET'S YARN ABOUT OUR PLACE, 2023

Textiles, natural/artificial dye, screen-print, watercolour monotype, and sound

Jacky is a proud Gamilroi and Dunghutti woman born and raised on Gadigal, Bidjigal and Darug (Sydney). They are a Fine Arts student currently enrolled at UNSW Art & Design. Jacqueline is a member of Original Legacy, an Indigenous collaborative with a group of First Nations artists, that have a goal to create in all forms.

Their interests span from a wide range of mediums, although they concentrate especially on moving image, printmaking, textiles, editing, and research. The evolution of their identity, friendships, family history, acknowledgement, space, land, ocean, Indigenous politics, environmental issues, and performance-based art are all a part of the practice. Jacqueline Jacky has a strong desire to give art a voice so that it might affect change in all spheres of life.

"Yes, my art practice is a huge part who I am, but are my culture, family, friends and the land."
