Arrernte Country

“Through my art, I attempt to capture the memories of Arrernte Country, the energy resonating even in silence, and the excitement sparked by the tales of rocks steeped in history. Sacred sites add a layer of reverence. Imagine a world where everyone had a sacred site to protect.”

Lou Nade is a multidisciplinary artist and sculptor engaging with mediums including found, reclaimed, natural resources and traditional materials. Her key theme is exploration of the concept of ‘waste’, and how society perceives certain resources as such. Through her creative expression and work with materials that might be discarded or overlooked, she poses questions about the value we assign to resources, their interconnectedness and impact on the world.
