In our second episode, we speak with palawa artist Jemima Wyman, who lives and works between Brisbane and Los Angeles. 

For the past 15 years, Jemima has collected images of protests from around the globe to use in her intricate collages.

Jemima is interested in camouflage and how it is strategically used by resistance movements. Patterns and masking are repeating motifs in her artmaking and through this work she makes visible the shared visual language of public demonstration.

Jemima's layered hand-cut collages contain thousands of images from her ever-expanding archive. She extensively documents the source, date, and location of each image. This data then forms the titles of her works of art. Reading like a history of protest, her longest title to date reaches over 13,000 words.
