Artists

Miriam is a British–Australian visual artist whose practice explores land, memory, ecological grief, and repair through experimental printmaking, artist books, and analogue photography.

Raised between cultures and landscapes, her work is shaped by a sustained attentiveness to place, particularly environments that are contested, fragile, or politically charged. Through tactile, analogue, and site-responsive processes, she creates work that holds space for loss, regeneration, and renewed relationships with land.

Working across visual art, performance, and socially engaged practice, Miriam has spent over two decades creating award-winning scenography for leading UK theatres, while initiating arts and humanitarian projects in Sudan, Iran, Kosovo, and Northern France. Her visual work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, Centre Pompidou, SOAS, the New York Public Library, and widely in group exhibitions.

Miriam has undertaken residencies at Brisons Veor (UK, 2025) and Bundanon (2008). A Fellow of the RSA, her work is guided by listening, material inquiry, and a commitment to ecological and social repair.

In Residence at Bundanon

At Bundanon, I will begin Ashen Topographies, using drawing, walking, and material “sampling” to explore fire, loss, and ecological repair. I will gather impressions through cameraless photography, mark-making, and field notation, translating these traces into layered prints and sculptural artist books using natural pigments and found materials. Working on site, I will develop and test forms in direct dialogue with the landscape. The residency offers concentrated time and space to listen closely to place and to consider how land holds memory, rupture, presence, absence, and regeneration—deepening a site-responsive practice shaped by material inquiry into landscape, mark, and form.
