Elizabeth, 2019

Elizabeth Cameron Dalman OAM, PhD has been described as the high priestess of Australian contemporary dance. I‘m inspired by her constant reinvention as dancer, choreographer, actor, director, and environmental activist. Mostly, my artwork spans drawing; painting in oils, acrylic and water-based mediums; and light box installation – and I often incorporate X-rays to reference the luminous and dynamic human body. Charcoal is a product of fire, and, similar to oils, I love how it washes over surfaces, how it blends and erases.  Here, Elizabeth is momentarily resting her feet at Mirramu Creative Arts Centre near Bungendore, preparing for her next adventure.
