Summer Sumner

English/Ngarrindjeri

Multidisciplinary artist and proud Ngarrindjeri mimini living on the Fleurieu Peninsula, Summer takes creative inspiration from colour in nature and her emotional trauma of losing and finding her identity. As a witness to the changing rivers and land, she often wonders how it was before colonization and the preindustrial/agricultural revolution. Her practice aims to question the history of the Australian environment, is it recovering, evolving, or vanishing?

As a multidisciplinary artist, Summer uses natural materials vs industrial waste, combining totemic symbolism, contemporary methods vs cultural tradition, whilst exploring and questioning sustainable industries, by-products, consumerism, and environmental preservation. Summer uses ethically sourced bio waste, reclaimed materials and mixed media.
