Skye Saxon

Skye Saxon is a performance artist and creator of mystic characters, drawings and stories. Drawing has forever functioned as a fundamental part of her life. An identical twin, Saxon explains she and her sister Krystal communicated with pictures before words, ‘Drawing was our way of speaking’. Dreams, memories and metaphysical worlds form the substance of Saxon’s work, which more recently exists in the form of performance and interactive media. Of her artwork, Saxon says ‘It is cool to be able to play with the strange parts of myself, to make artworks from this place, and to share this with an audience’.

Kandos’s wild woodland proved fertile inspiration for Saxon’s active dream life. Upon discovering Kandos’s mysterious woodland tucked behind the local scout hall Saxon was entranced. A winterland tepee revealed itself to the artist, providing a map for her Cementa17 work. In The Snowflake Shaman’s Winter Wonderland Saxon will perform as a Snowflake Shaman offering guests the opportunity to transform their stress into snow within her winterland tepee structure. Step inside, soften, melt and surrender to the transformation. This project is supported by Studio A, and by the Accessible Arts’ Delineate grant as a part of the Don’t DIS my ABILITY program.
