Miranda Hampson is an artist of First Nations descent (Aniawan) and is recognised as part of the Aboriginal
community at Uralla, and is practicing on Dharawal Country.
Miranda’s work honours First Nations connections to Country, drawing on her heritage and her background in
cultural heritage management. Her practice is grounded in the shared experience of kin, Country and place whilst
suggesting it as a means to heal and strengthen the bonds between people, land and culture.
Miranda’s works explore a visual language that is both personal and cultural. Each piece is a result of a ritual,
where mindful mark making builds upon itself, creating richly layered surfaces that pulse with depth and intensity.
There is both intimacy and vastness in her works and a sense of presence that reaches beyond the physical.
These pieces invite viewers to contemplate their own relationship to the land and the unseen forces that shape it.
