Veilings, after Raynor Hoff’ (I, II) appropriate Hoff’s 1927 Australian Venus sculpture, presenting her as a void, cut out of the field of vision, a disembodied silhouette or negative space. These paintings are edged in frames of blue fabric, a reference to domestic interiors, the divine feminine or curtains used for framing a stage. to highlight the feminine as a space for exploring aesthetic tensions of revealing and concealing.

Amber Koroluk-Stephenson is a visual artist, educator and curator based in southern lutruwita/ Tasmania. Working across painting, sculpture, collage and installation, her practice examines the value and significance of identity, place and belonging, and ways cultural significance is constructed and exchanged, but also sometimes lost. Informed by an ongoing fascination with the intersections between natural and built environments, and slippages between histories, fictions and popular culture, her work seeks the human desire for connection and to make visible what is out of sight.
