TME #7: ‘My Inner Child Audrey’, Tracy Stirzaker
Contemporary visual artist Tracy Stirzaker sees herself as an observer and critic of contemporary Australian society and is inspired by her lived experience. Stirzaker uses the repetition of motifs in her artwork to explore the emotional body and self-esteem within the everyday constraints of social politics, cultural values and beliefs. Employing painting and textiles techniques including text, hand stitch, soft sculpture, applique and embroidery her artworks analyze and critique her life and thus reflect today’s Australian society.
