Katie Breckon is an Aotearoa-born artist, educator and remote community arts worker whose practice explores the transient and transformative notion of home and questions one’s place in the natural world. In Backtrack, Breckon explores expanded drawing and mark making practices through the lens of mapping personal and physical geographies.
Having lived, worked and travelled on Nyikina, Ngarinyin, and Worrorra Country in the West Kimberley region of Western Australia for a decade, Backtrack acts as an abstracted record of that time, retracing landmarks of personal significance to the artist and creating an archive that renders memory as an act of reflective catharsis.
