Courtney Pedersen is a Brisbane-based artist, writer and academic. Her work is primarily concerned with the nexus of personal experience and the public realm, with particular interests in feminism and social history.
Artist statement:
This current body of work, Summers with Hilma, takes the seascapes of Queensland and the Scandinavian coastline as its formal departure point. By bringing these images into conversation with the geometric abstraction of Swedish mystic painter Hilma af Klint, the avant-garde film making of Viking Eggeling, and the cinematic concerns of Ingmar Bergman, I am creating imaginary geographies that approach a place where I belong.
