Taking Time to Build New Worlds

My current body of work centers around creating immersive textile installations that focus on the experiences of being neurodivergent and chronically ill. It reframes knitting and crochet as essential practices of connection, resilience, and self-regulation, encouraging my audience to engage with alternative sensory, temporal, and emotional realities. By transforming the process of neurodivergent survival into a shared experience, the work addresses the invisibility of individuals with a disability and interrogates feminist labour as a space of care, agency, and shared embodiment.

The knitted abstractions move at a far slower pace than my previous paintings in acrylic. Where acrylic demanded speed, knitting insists on taking its time. This deliberate slowness is a refusal to do things in the most efficient way possible. As a disabled human I live through the understanding that disabled people require not simply more time but a reconfiguration of temporality itself. It is about navigating ableist barriers outside of one’s control. As an autistic woman, much of my energy is spent masking, monitoring gestures, words, and behaviours to appear “acceptable” in neurotypical environments. This hidden labour is both exhausting and isolating. My practice mirrors this endurance through the repetitive gestures of knitting and crochet, each piece taking hours upon hours to complete.

Both autism and chronic illness impose temporalities that deviate from the normative clock, requiring constant negotiation with a world that is not interested in waiting and slowing down. I challenge these ideas by making work that can only be made through waiting and slowing down.

Precarious Imbalance

February 26 - March 26

Precarious Imbalance is a multimedia installation, involving a combination of performance, projection and sculpture made from found materials associated with the domestic.

My creative practice aims to draw attention to systems that perpetuate gendered power imbalances that underpin ecological harm and social issues such as violence against women.

Informed by over two decades as a professional circus performer, specialising in aerial artistry, my work employs body movement and balance, as well as the stacking and assembling of objects, to physically express the mental and physical precarity in which beings and systems are contingent on each other for survival.

My practice takes place between the home and the studio, necessarily shaped by my dual role as both mother and artist. I subvert everyday domestic actions and household items—such as dish racks, chairs, broken crockery, and craft materials associated up with maternal care—calling attention to the creativity to be found in the everyday.

PEEP SHOW

Peep: to look quickly and furtively at something, especially through a narrow opening

Through “peep show” I am playing with the very notion of a glimpse. A fleeting look, a hurried glance, an insight into the private and hidden realities we assume are ours alone.

Emerging Northcote artist Jess Owen is based at Coburg studios. She explores the small moments of everyday life in her figurative oil painting practice.

Here With Me, Contained
At Glimpse Art Space until January 16.

Here With Me, Contained was originally conceived as an interactive installation, with the fabric forming an enclosed environment that separates the viewer from the distractions and noise of the surrounding space. Although it was necessary to adapt the work for this exhibition, I hoped to preserve my original intent: to create a moment of pause. The piece invites viewers to step away from reality and forget the task at hand or the pressures of their day. By isolating attention onto itself, the work encourages viewers to question its purpose, which ironically becomes the very experience it offers.

I invite the viewer to follow the curves and creases of the fabric, to consider what it conceals, and to imagine what it might feel like to view the space from the other side of the glass. Through this quiet act of observation, the work becomes a space for reflection rather than resolution.

This piece is also my response to the growing sense of isolation present in contemporary society through the rise of technology and our constant search for 'quick dopamine fixes'. By creating spaces that invite shared presence, I hope to encourage small but meaningful interactions, whether they be a brief greeting, an exchanged glance, or a conversation about the work itself. In doing so, the installation offers moments of connection for an audience potentially starved of it.

My recent use of soft, translucent fabrics is inspired by memories of the curtains surrounding my childhood bed, softly illuminated by morning light. I aim to recreate this sense of warmth and calm, offering an environment that feels welcoming, peaceful, and open to self-expression. Through this work, I explore my femininity, playfulness, and love for beauty; elements that bring me joy and invite others to feel it too.

Soraya is a multi disciplinary artist, currently living and working on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong people of the Kulin nation, who gravitates towards making sculptural works and installations using organic and found materials that inquire into the unseen. Soraya is deeply interested in the esoteric, religion, Witches, earthly matter, and intersectional feminist ideologies. They are currently studying a bachelor of fine arts at RMIT.
