Bridget Baskerville

Baskerville’s practice is informed by her experience of growing up in regional NSW. Through themes of community, history, time and ecology, her work examines personal connections to place and how these connections can influence the way we care for a place. Her work embodies a sense of nostalgia as well as a recognition of what has been lost, drawing on the relationship between a location and the people that were once there.

‘The Shift’ is a portrait of Bridget’s hometown of Kandos. Through the contrast between the new and the archival, the artist delves into shifting narratives, layered history, and her own personal connection to spaces within the town.
