Ebony Fisher

Ebony Fisher's artistic practice explores the escalating deterioration of Australia's biodiversity, focusing on vulnerable native species including the eastern quoll and dingo alongside the now extinct Christmas Island pipistrelle bat. Her practice involves a combination of layering, erasure, and gestural mark-making to mirror both the fragility of conservation and the emotional toll of ecological loss. Ebony contrasts extinction's finality with uncertain survival through the use of a greyscale palette for the pipistrelle bat. Threatened species are approach with colour. Her work invites the viewer to contemplate notions of extinction, loss, and our increasingly tenuous connection to native wildlife.
