Studio Artists
Kanako Enokida
Kanako Enokida (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist born in Japan and currently based in Meanjin. Working across installation, papermaking, and performance, her practice brings together fibre and the body to create fragile yet intimate encounters for viewers. Her work is driven by an ongoing exploration of inter-cultural identity and the body as a site of liminality – a vessel of collective memory.
Enokida draws inspiration from her lived experiences of living across cultures, surviving a chronic medical condition, and confronting imbalanced power structures within narratives imposed on international bodies. Through these personal histories, her practice has become a platform to question simplified narratives around identity, the body, and difference, while examining the interconnectedness between people, place, and memory.
Eliza Adam
Eliza Adam is a Magandjin (Brisbane) based multidisciplinary artist, working in painting, sculpture and textile-based processes. Her practice investigates themes of universal inter-connectivity, through explorations of place and time.
Responding directly to her surroundings, Adam explores recent and distant histories of place. Through built layers and simple notations, Adam’s work presents landscape as an informal archive.
Adam has lived and worked in various locations across Australia, from the coast of South East Queensland to the desert of remote Western Australia, each of these environments have informed her practice.
