Exploring consumerism through the personal lens of family experience, artist Sherry Quiambao presents Veiled in a Golden Hue at the Goolugatup Heathcote Gallery from 10 August – 22 September 2024.
In this exhibition, Quiambao reflects on her mother’s migration from the Philippines to Australia, contemplating personal aspirations within the broader context of societal pressures.
Using photography and video, it invites consideration of the meaning of fulfilment, and the role that possessions play in forming our identities.
It features a video artwork produced in collaboration with artist and choreographer Emma Fishwick, filmmaker Apurva Gupta, performer Keana Mislang and sound composition by Tom Lee.
Sherry Quiambao (née Paddon) is a Filipino/Australian multi-disciplinary artist based in Boorloo/Perth, Western Australia. Her work spans photography, sculpture, video and installation, drawing inspiration from found objects and exploring themes such as memory, cultural heritage, and consumerism.
By elevating the everyday, Sherry examines the sense of belonging to possessions and their impact on self-image and status, reflecting the realities of a commercialised society.
