June Golland

My art practice likes to poke about in the detritus of my personal and emotional life to see what makes me and people around me laugh or cry. I’m obsessed with her own mortality and I mine these fears and anxieties, alongside collected archives of deceased loved ones, to create installations, sculptural and collage works that explore the temporality of our lives and the slippery nature of personal and historical archives. Like my memories of the past and hopes for the future, my installations are ephemeral and endlessly reconfigurable, resisting completion. My works exist in a flux state, often made and re-made, rarely presenting the same way twice.

June Golland has had ghost inklings all her life. As a child growing up in Central West NSW, she heard a lot about ghost houses and ghost towns. June thinks so much about ghosts, ghost places, and ghost things that she sometimes she thinks she might be one. Ghost Story makes visible ghosts from the past, present and future of Kandos with help from The Uncooperative and community.
