Ann Gillespie: Unseen/Undone

Ann Gillespie is an emerging Australian contemporary artist living and working on Kaurna land in Adelaide. Ann’s practice is shaped by lived experiences of care, both as a mother to a child with disabilities and through supporting relatives in voluntary assisted dying.

These intimate histories cultivate a material and ethical sensitivity that underpins her work. Working across sculptural ceramics, installation, and performance, Ann explores the intersection of materiality and relationality.

Following a period of caring for her uncle, who accessed voluntary assisted dying earlier his year, Unseen/Undone explores the realities of unpaid care and the feminised domestic labour that sustains life yet remains unseen.
