serinah williams

Serinah Williams (She/Her) is a proud Yiman, Wulli Wulli woman living on Gubbi Gubbi land, studying to complete a Bachelor of Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art at the Queensland College of Art and Design. Williams uses a broad range of artistic mediums, focussing on the use of analogue photography as a form of truth telling. Williams has been researching the inescapable influence of the male gaze on women and feminine people, and how this has affected her own personal growth and behaviour. Alongside photography, Williams explores kitsch and crafty mediums, such as bedazzling and embroidery, challenging the patriarchal undervaluing of these types of skills due to their stereotypical association with femininity. She has a strong connection with materiality and process, often with these elements bringing deeper meaning to her work.
