Cassie Sullivan is a Lutruwita/Trouwerner First Nations, queer artist based on Melukerdee Country in Lutruwita/Tasmania. She has a responsive practice that crosses disciplines of sculpture, moving image, photography, writing, sound, installation, and printmaking. Cassie works with a deeply considered process driven practice that prioritises a multi-sensory engagement with Country. She explores themes of intergenerational experiences that reside in bodily memory and the ancestral memory of water. Within her creative and cultural practice, Cassie works to constantly question what can be imbued through materiality to give voice to complex identities.

"... Site specific practice is important to me and I am drawn to the proximity of water to the studio. During my residency at Gunyah I plan to conduct a slow collaboration with the waterway and surrounding lands of Gathang Country, forming a deeper conversation. I will build on my exploration of a visual documentation of water having ancestral memory through listening, recording, writing, and developing a visual language around this conversation. ..."
