Judy-ann Moule

I am a multidisciplinary artist who completed a Doctor of Fine Arts degree, at the National Arts School, in 2022. This practice-based research considered how a contemporary visual arts practice, focused on the original concept of dis/touch, could advance discourse around sexual violence and other abuses of power. Since completing the DFA I have moved to regional Armidale where I work between ‘the stables’ and an old shearing shed; a space for collaboration and experimentation. In my feminist-based practice I work across disciplines using installation, sculpture, and photography to develop insights into emotions, relationships, and our place in the world. Works are diverse in scale and materials. Currently I am transforming abject materials eg. hair, teeth, and discarded everyday objects into awkward and eerie assemblages. I mean to unsettle. Tapping into the inherent and implicit materiality of these part-objects I aim to stimulate a visceral reaction in the viewer, to provoke discussion.
