MIA LILY

Mia (b. 1998) is an emerging multidisciplinary artist, living and working on Gadigal land. Her practice explores an embodied process that opens pathways into memory, spirituality, sexuality, and lived experience. By drawing on a poly-spiritual feminine sensibility, Mia allows multiplicity, contradiction, and the quiet power of accumulation to lead her practice into realms of self-inquiry that reflect shared human experience. She works with photography, video, ceramics, ready-made and constructed sculpture.

Alongside her studio practice, Mia has worked professionally in the arts as an installer, artist assistant, invigilator, arts director and stylist.


“Mia constructs precarious architectures that blur the line between play and rupture, inviting the viewer into spaces of both recognition and estrangement.” - Jacqueline Bradley
