New artist in-residence: Amelia Skelton

Amelia Skelton is a multidisciplinary artist based on Gadigal Land (Sydney, Australia). Amelia’s practice is rooted in a methodology of working slowly and critically through found, discarded, kept and collected objects and materials, with a significant focus on textiles. Skelton’s practice meditates on the complexity of these things, interrogating their abundance, familiarity, significance and inextricable political implications. 

During her time at Lottozero, Amelia is combining textiles and photography using screenprinting, digital embroidery and the TC2 Loom, creating a series of works that respond to the notion of textiles as a material that both literally and figuratively mediates our experience of the world.

Anita Sarkezi’s residency is made possible through the support of Create NSW
