Sue Kneebone
Sue Kneebone is a visual artist, educator and researcher who has a PhD in visual arts from the University of South Australia, and a Masters in Fine Art from the Victorian College of the Arts. Her artistic practice has been influenced by a diverse range of factors, and includes concepts informed by the fragmentation of historical material and archives, lost narratives in family history, and fieldwork to sites of forgetting and ecological loss. Sue works across different media creating tableaux and installations that incorporate the transformative processes of assemblage and montage to create new contexts, correlations and associations that move across memory, history and place. In 2019 Sue participated in ‘Conflict Zones’, an international residency, symposium and exhibition held in Mauritius, and in 2020 was selected for the ACE x Kochi Biennale Foundation residency in Fort Kochi, India, which was unfortunately cut short due to the pandemic. Since this time Kneebone has extended her creative practice into moving image works for several exhibitions including ACE Open at Lot Fourteen for SALA 2020, and Ceaseless Tide at Adelaide Central School of Art Gallery in 2021.
