Gemma O' Rourke

Through an ontology lens, art, spirituality, and metaphysics offer a convergence point from which I explore the multiverse and holographic nature of reality. The body's phenomenological experience of the creative, conceptual, political, and sensorial is expressed through photography, videography, performance, painting, sculpture, and writing. I attune with, be still in, and move in sympoiesis with Country, acknowledging the sentience of all beings and the consciousness, intra-active agency, and vibrancy of matter. 

I honour the embedded wisdom of First Nations People globally, whose onto-epistemological experience mirrors the quantum entanglement perspective of everything as interconnected, alive, and sentient. This gnosis resonates through my bloodlines from Druidic Celtic Irish and the melukerdee trouwunnan from the Tahune-Linah (Huon River Region) of trouwunna/lutruwita/ Tasmania.
