Bruce https://lakrmbruce.com/About Luka/Alvi/Kai/Rey/Mace Bruce b. 1996 Gadigal/Wangal country (Sydney, Australia) &nbsp; &nbsp; L.A.K.R.M. Bruce is an emerging installation and expanded textiles artist based on Gadigal and Wangal land. Bruce’s practice centers self-care and pleasure as an act of resistance to capitalist ideologies of identity, productivity and value. Influenced by experiences of hospitalisation due to psychosis, their practice embodies the coping mechanisms established within these times. Their methodology also provides a safe foundation for them to explore their experiences as a non-binary person. Working and living across multiple names; Luka/Alvi/Kai/Rey/Mace, Bruce locates plurality and codes as a methodology of self-care. With consideration for the mental health of audiences in mind they also utilise textual and thematic codes in their work to safely explore trauma-informed topics. &nbsp; &nbsp; Bruce’s work comprises textiles, embroidery, beading, and sculpting supplies which have been passed down their maternal lineage and found in their childhood wardrobe. Other materials are also gifted by or traded with people within Bruce’s community. Their practice is organised by a logic of self-care and self-sustainability by utilising methods and themes that give them pleasure, namely; the hand-made, biological/queer ancestry, gender, and material and intrapersonal collaboration. &nbsp; &nbsp; Bruce graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours – First Class) from UNSW Art &amp; Design in 2019. They have been a finalist in the Jenny Birt Award (2019), at UNSW A&amp;D and Hatched (2020) at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art. Bruce has also been a finalist and highly commended recipient in the Kudos Emerging Artist + Designer Award (2019) at Kudos Gallery and the Tim Olsen Drawing Prize (2019) at UNSW A&amp;D. https://lakrmbruce.com/CV Tue, 20 Oct 2020 05:32:39 +0000 L.A.K.R.M.
