Gillian Adamson

Adamson is a multidisciplinary artist based in Newcastle (Awabakal Country) whose work spans multiple mediums including painting, performance and installation works.

Through intimate depictions of personal spaces, she explores the tangible outcomes of life. The accumulation of objects and the invisible lifetimes worth of memories that have soaked into the walls of homes — Adamson highlights the intimacy out of universal experience.
