About the artist
Residing in Larrakia Country (Darwin) in Northern Australia, King is an artist of the contemporary era who boldly integrates methods and techniques from both historical and modern times.
Reflecting on her practice, King, who is of Gurindji and Waanyi descent, said: “Storytelling is an integral part of my people's culture. We pass on stories, knowledge, and memories from one generation to another. I'm inspired by this concept of time in my art practice, using symbols painted on canvas to express the connection between people and the past.”
King was drawn to colours found in nature, including warm and rich tones that the artist believes represent longevity and a deep connection to her people. “When choosing the colours for the layers in this abstract piece, I was drawn to colours found in the landscape, in sunsets,” she shared.
King's installation can be viewed at the Vacheron Constantin flagship at 104 King Street, Sydney, from June to November. The installation is the second in a collaborative series with Australian artists, merging the beauty of the fine art and watchmaking worlds.
