About Sujora

Sujora is a multi-disciplinary West Australian artist with a BA (Art) from Curtin University. Working with ‘Relationships to Land and Place’, environmental issues feature strongly in her practice. She exhibits regularly, sometimes using audio visual components alongside her 2D and 3D gallery work.

Many years working in remote desert communities, her work often begins in the field observing and gathering natural or discarded materials for development on site, or in her Fremantle studio. Finished works float between framed and wall hung, suspended or freestanding, gallery and on-site installations. She has created a series of experimental ephemeral interventions in the landscape exploring the capacity to change relationship to place through direct engagement.

She predominantly uses natural or reconfigured materials: collecting and grinding burn-site charcoal; distilling botanical inks and resins; embedding and stitching-in with beeswax; collecting waste materials from urban building sites.

She has completed two rural Art Residencies and several remote and urban projects.
