- Description: Friday 14th June - Saturday 29th June 2019. Anna Farago uses various creative methods to explore her identity as daughter, sister, mother, wife, friend, crafter, artist, woman and now widow, and to examine how identity strongly intersects with memory and place. Comprising large-scale textiles, small embroideries, paintings, photographs, video and documented performative works, Farago’s ideas are deeply informed by her personal memories and personal experiences alongside those of others, including Indigenous Elders, Indigenous and non-Indigenous rangers and locals connected to specific sites and places. Anna Farago’s exhibition and recent work constitute the visual outcomes emerging from a practice-led research project for a Masters Award at the Arts Academy, School of Arts, Federation University Australia. Anna Farago is supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Fee-Offset Scholarship through Federation University Australia.

- Description: The Making and Placing of a Personal View: Questions of Place uses various making methods to explore both the artist’s and others personal connection to place. The research investigates the intersection of memory, identity, and place. Memory is what informs personal history and collective futures. Identity, for the artist is as daughter, sister, mother, wife, friend, crafter, artist, woman and now widow. For others involved in the research, it is as Indigenous Elders, rangers and locals connected to specific sites. Place as which grounds and locates memories and landscapes that preoccupy the creative works. Memory and identity is explored materially through making, connecting art to place using craft’s historical connection with domestic and natural environments. Using the postmodern feminist geography of Doreen Massey, place is a site of flow and routes, rather than origins and roots. The relation between art and Massey’s notion of place is investigated as sympathetic to craft as a feminine epistemology. The creative work created comprises of four large textile patchworks, a series of small embroideries, and a pair of gouache paintings. The making of three large patchwork banner works were informed by conversational interviews conducted with Indigenous and non-Indigenous rangers. The banner works were installed for the duration of a weekend in Darebin Parklands in Alphington, Victoria in 2016 and at Pigeon House Mountain Didthul, Morton National Park, NSW in 2017. Performative and documentation photographs and videos were created in response to these installations. In addition a hand-stitched patchwork was slowly constructed over a year of grief and then used as a cloak and protective cloth in directed performative photos shot in the garden and on the roof of the artist’s home.
