un Podcast No. 2: SASKIA DOHERTY

by

Doherty is an artist and writer based in Narrm Melbourne. Her work encompasses sculpture, drawing, writing, performance, sound and installation. Her practice examines and aims to unpack structures that turn memory into static form: etymology, photographs, fossils, institutions. Saskia has exhibited in Australia and overseas since graduating with a BFA (Hons) from Monash University in 2013, and has written several pieces of writing and poetry for Australian publications.
