ERICA MURIATA HIGHLY COMMENDED IN 2O24 WOOLLAHRA SMALL SCULPTURE PRIZE

Congratulations to Erica Muriata (Girramay), who was awarded the Special Commendation Award of $2,OOO this past week for her work Recycled Jawun 2O24 in the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize.

“Because of its technical execution, whilst remaining wholly experimental, the judges unanimously selected Recycled Jawun 2O24 by Girramay artist Erica Muriata for the Special Commendation Prize” said judge Erin Vink.

“We congratulate Erica for her innovation and attempts to push the parameters of such an ancient and elegant utilitarian object.  Erica’s work strongly reinforces to its viewer that Aboriginal culture from Far North Queensland is ever-changing and alive.”

All winning sculptures, along with this year’s finalists, are now on display at the Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf.
