Jo Rock
I work with earth materials like pigments, ash, water, clay and plants. My body is part of this practice; an earth material too, holding memory, minerals, and spirit.
I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, and all First Peoples of the lands on which I create. I pay deep respect to Elders past and present.Sovereignty was never ceded and resistance to invasion and colonisation continues today.
