About Naomie
Living on Yawuru country in the Kimberley region, Naomie Hatherley is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, drawing, sculpture, video, performance and textiles. Her practice is concerned with themes of motherhood and community, with a focus on education and wellbeing. Naomie draws inspiration from her lived experience as a mother and educator, as well as art history, to explore the physical embodiment of the female form, and the intersection of body, language, thought and experience, in part to challenge her own conditioning and the narratives that shape an individual, gendered and national identity.
About Naomie’s Exhibition, un•dis•covered
When we dig into history, what is it that we aim to do?
This question lies at the heart of un-dis-covered - a collection of works by Broome/Rubibi artist, Naomie Hatherley, resulting from her 8-week Activating Collections + Threads in Common Residency undertaken in late 2024. Moving across a variety of media, the exhibition reveals an open-ended process of artistic inquiry inspired by the Carnamah Macpherson Homestead; established in 1874 by Duncan Macpherson, and the floral contributions from eight Aboriginal families following his death in 1931.
What followed was a deep creative meditation on (our) connection to place, reflected through smeared charcoal body prints, plein air dream paintings and servings of roadkill on dinner plates, as well as a series of collaborative works created with individual community members and groups. ‘The absolute highlight of this residency was collaborating with local artist, Tymia Councillor’, Naomie says. ‘Her stories, creativity and passion for culture emanate from the works we produced.’
Naomie undertook her residency locally thanks to ART ON THE MOVE through the Regional Exhibition Touring Boost, funded by the Government of Western Australia.
