Sammy Hawker

Sammy Hawker is an Australian-based visual artist working predominantly on Ngunawal/Ngunnawal/Ngambri Country [Canberra Region, ACT]. Through practices of reciprocity (facilitated acts of co-creation) Sammy’s works explore the potential of interspecies dialogue, giving voice to the presences of more-than human worlds. These works raise questions about how sentience and memory is inscribed within materials, sites and bodies. Sammy’s multi-disciplinary practice embraces text, sculpture, photography, sound and moving image. These works form a vast and ongoing archive, documenting sites and moments of exchange.
