Mel Booth is an emerging artist living and working on Gadigal Land (Sydney, Australia).

 

Her practice investigates the instability of systems used to categorise and define the world. Working with textiles, embroidery, ceramics and bio-materials, she engages with materials loaded with social and political meaning in experimental and intuitive ways. Their intersection mirrors her conceptual interest in “in-between-ness”: the complex realities that exist beneath rigid structures such as gender binaries, nationalism and biological classification. Through surreal and uncanny imagery, Booth uses curiosity and intuition as tools to probe how perspectives are formed and sustained.
