Biography

Millie Dunstall is an artist from Waihi, based in Tāmaki Makarau Auckland. Her current practice emerges from anthropological observations of her rural hometown, where histories of extraction, tourism, mythology, and community remain embedded within the landscape. Her recent works have centred around the Ohinemuri and Waihou rivers, approaching rivers as systems of movement, delivery, and intersection. Dunstall's work investigates the instability between lived experience and its representation, drawing on ideas surrounding hyperreality, image distortion, and simulation. Dunstall completed a BFA with First Class Honours in 2021, graduating from Massey University Toi Rauwhārangi, Pōneke Wellington.
