Statement
These landscape and portrait pieces were taken on Ngarigo land. ( Southeast- New South Wales) taken before the Victoria and NSW second gruelling lockdown. Supina was stuck in Victoria for the rest of the year. This piece was a collaboration between her and photographer Warwick Baker. The Body that presents in the landscape is a vernacular to working-class domesticity and an introverted protected space - it is a marker of her identity and how it is employed in the environment responds to her history, She occupies the space to disassociate and re-claim the colonial settler past.

Her work explores suburban discomfort, through experimental cultural mash performances, surreal video works, and in situ suburban photographic works.
