Biography

Sue Kneebone has a Bachelor of Fine Art (Hons) (1998) and a Masters in Fine Arts (2000) from Victorian College of the Arts (2000) as well as a PhD from the University of South Australia (2010).[1][2] She features in Episode 2 of Hannah Gadsby’s three-part series on Australian art, Oz.[3][4] She has held exhibitions in Australia and the Republic of Ireland.[5][6]

Artistic style and subject

Kneebone began as a ceramicist but expanded her art practice to include photomontage and other mixed media. Through her ceramics, photomontages and assemblages, she explores questions of cultural identity through her own family history,[7][8] as well as the impact of empire on the Australian landscape.[9][10] She has been described as combining “a hypnotic storyteller with the backbone of an archaeologist”.[11]

Kneebone was the South Australian recipient of the Qantas Foundation Contemporary Art Travel Award in 2011.[12][13]

Collections

Kneebone's works are held in the collection of The Art Gallery of South Australia.[14]
