Eleanor Amiradaki

Eleanor Amiradaki is a Sydney-based multi-disciplinary artist of Greek Heritage working across photography, printmaking & installation. With a delicate sensitivity her work seeks to unearth certain dualities, rather than creating unifying codes, which point to the complexities of the feminine experience in relationship with self, society and the land. Through a mythic lens she explores the relationship between the transcendent and the mundane, notions of agency and gendered roles. Studies in generational trauma and archetypal psychology underpin her practice.

Eleanor holds a B Visual Communications (Hons Class 1) and has recently completed her Master of Art, UNSW receiving the Industry Award for Printmaking. Recent exhibitions include: No Mans Land, Gallery Lane Cove (2020), Take Care of the Living Things First, Airspace Projects (2019), Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize (2019), Hornsby Art Prize (2019), Modern Ritual, BSA Project Space (2018). Her work is held in private collections in Australia, Berlin, Shanghai and the USA.

My work explores the relationship between domestic and the sublime as well as our intricate relationship with the natural world. Use of repeat motifs become like visual incantations evoking a sense of the deep underlying repetitions, cycles and seasons that underpin our existence. In sitting with what is and through the mundane acts of living we might come to closer to that which lives within us.
