Exhibition: 12 July – 25 August 2024
'Murrook', is a self-exploration of being in a state of happiness. Bush dyed fabrics, basketry, and adornments, respond to the coastal land and seascapes of Worimi and Biripi Country, entwined into wearable art. This body of work is the artist experiences of the ‘happy place’ within self and within Country.
Krystal Hurst is a Worimi and queer woman from Taree and Forster, NSW Mid North Coast. She is a multi-disciplinary artist exploring adornment, weaving and watercolour. Krystal’s practice derives from her Worimi culture, interwoven with her identity, memory and experiences. Krystal has been a finalist in the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards and the National Indigenous Fashion Awards for Traditional Adornment.
