Karla Dickens is a Wiradjuri artist whose work spans sculpture, textiles, poetry, painting, photography, and found material collage. Drawing on her Indigenous heritage, sexuality, and experiences as a single-mother, Dickens’s work uncovers the more sinister realities of Australia's past and ongoing relationship with its Indigenous peoples. Using a range of methods and materials her work celebrates and critiques historical figures and practices, interprets histories of institutionalization and dispossession, and communicates the ongoing discrimination, oppression, and socio-cultural repercussions of colonialism experienced by Australians of Indigenous descent.
