Imprints invites you to be held (safely) by artist Merinda Davies. This one-on-one performance will take place at IMA Belltower as part of Making Art Work. Imprints will evolve over time from an initial installation to a participatory performance. After the performance, a pile of spent PPE will be left as the residue of these imprints. Davies asks us to consider the ‘imprints’ of the pandemic on our bodies and on the environment.

Merinda Davies uses performance, installation, and conversation to question the current structural paradigm of inequality. Her work is inspired by the environment, human and non-human social structures, and the possibilities available to us in future imaginings. She grew up on Bundjalung Land in Northern New South Wales, and is currently living on Kombumerri Land in South East Queensland. She is currently working on solo and collaborative projects for Gold Coast City Council, Placemakers*, Outer Space, and The Walls Artspace.
