Amber Koroluk-Stephenson

Amber Koroluk-Stephenson’s practice-led research project examines the Australian landscape in relation to themes of identity and belonging. She uses appropriation and collage in her painting practice to develop pictorial strategies that reframe and restage traditional representations of the Australian landscape. Her recent work references colonial-era landscape painter John Glover, and abstract mystic painter Hilma af Klint, to highlight systems of relation and conflict, including personal connections to both artists. This project has resulted in a body of studio work and a thesis, which challenge and disrupt conventional representations and understandings of Australian landscape painting and their associated colonial legacies.
