Artist Floor Talk: Inga Fillary

Join us to hear artist Inga Fillary talk about her first major exhibition, What’s the Matter. Free, however space is limited so booking is essential.

Inga Fillary’s recent work represents attempts to operationalise the highly abstract theories found in modern philosophy. Low hierarchy substances and materials, disturbed from their former authority, are the cornerstone of Fillary’s practice. When utility is removed, objects are freed to become something other, images can be drawn away from fine art media to subtly reposition the way ‘messages’ can be transmitted, the material is very important. Deeper realities which lie beneath the perceivable surfaces emerge and a material ‘life’ is uncovered. Fillary experiments with the onslaught of time on material, she addresses the burden of humankind upon the earth and the possibility of aesthetic experience to provide an oblique approach to a veiled reality.

Inga Fillary holds a Master of Fine Arts with First Class Honours from Elam School of Fine Arts.
