VISUAL ART
A CONNECTION OT THE FRESH WATERS AND SALT WATERS
Mia Lovelock is a renowned textile and visual artist based on Darug land in Sydney, Australia. Her art pieces speak of a fluidity reflecting her connection to the fresh waters and salt waters, combined with bold statements of symbols, figures and geographic formations.
With a passion for sustainability and connection to Country, Mia collects sandstones and ochre which she then grinds into fine pigments for her paint. These beautiful earth coloured pigments are used in her multimedia artworks combined with other materials such as fabric pieces, paper and acrylics.
Mia's portfolio of work consists of prints on paper that are bold with intricate details, mixed media paintings, sculpture, and eye-catching ceramic works.
PAINTING MY ABORIGINAL CONNECTION TO COUNTRY
"In the video below, you can see my story in large scale showing my connection to country with three meeting places representing Ngunnawal, Yuin and Kulin. The journey of me and my sisters across the hills, fresh water rivers and the salt waters. With us we have the protection and guidance of our totem the Wedge Tailed Eagle."
