Nadia Hernández’smulti-disciplinary practice reflects a process of bearing
witness to the loss of home and the symbolic power of memory and
memorialisation. Informed by her experience as a Venezuelan woman
living in Australia, and positioning
herself both within and outside the Venezuelan diaspora, Hernández makes art as a means to
connect with a sense of place that exists beyond psychic and geographic
boundaries. She negotiates complex narratives, weaving the personal
and the political, to create a highly recognisable visual language expressed
through colourful textiles, paper constructions, paintings, music,
installations, sculptures, and murals. Her works weave together the complexities
of memory, despair, hope and reconciliation, reminding us that these opposing
sensations often co-exist.
