Acknowledging the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which I create, exhibit and practice. I extend my respects to custodians past, present and emerging across country.

Sari Walker-Woods is a Sydney based emerging artist practising on Gadigal land.
Her practice largely works with remembrance and testament of surface and place through the archival agency of ‘trace’ as a fossil record. Sari collects, captures and preserves matter and discard by transforming it into solid artefacts, textual forms or museological instalments. She acknowledges her works as mixed media relief prints that function as intimate contact relics.
The tactile immersion and creative process of interacting with spaces and their material sensitivity translates like an archive or forensic examination of the interdimensional connection between objects, atmosphere and sensation.
