Bundanon

Merryn Sommerville uses an uncanny, emotionally evocative visual language to explore the internal oppression of being raised in the Christian religion, and the complexity of negotiating issues of social justice and identity as a condemned agnostic. Namely, issues of female autonomy, sexuality, disability, morality and mortality.

Sommerville’s time at Bundanon was spent developing a new body of work which will increase the scale of her drawings. The residency was also used as time to test and develop new directions in installation and sculpture.
