I find my Self and seek no more Archival print on canvas FRAMED Ed. 1 of 25

How intoxicating is the idea that we love ourselves... that we're unconditionally in love with ourselves despite our perfections and imperfections?  Looking at this photograph, we are reminded of the beauty of impermanence, the poetry of floating in the unknown, the ability to rest in the grace of the world, and the quiet power of letting go.

Named after a line in a poem written by the Artist - see below...

"In twilight's hush... I softly drift,
Betwixt two realms where Shadows shift
With gentle sighs, I yield my fears,
Dissolving echoes, shedding years.

Fareware threads... of what once was,
In search of dreams where magic lies.
A timeless dance where truth resides
With breath suspended, my heart entwined.

A water's song... a gentle call,
With waves of wisdom a perfect thrall.
Each ripple claims what weighs me low
A tender grace of ebb and flow.

With whispered sighs...and soul aligned,
My form embellished, sage and kind,
As movements weave through bliss's core,
I find my Self and seek no more."

Kerry Inkster is a distinguished visual artist celebrated for her profound exploration of women’s stories and experiences through mixed media. Her mission is to make art for quiet women who've been told to be smaller, so they can remember they have something powerful and valuable to offer the world. At the heart of her artistic practice lies an unwavering commitment to amplifying narratives that reflect the depth, complexity, and resilience inherent in womanhood.

Through her underwater photography, Inkster captures the transformative relationship between women and water—a powerful symbol of emotion, fluidity, and rebirth. Each photograph invites viewers to engage in introspection while revealing the challenges, triumphs, and intricacies that shape women's identities.

Her painting practice further delves into the complex tapestry of women's lives, utilising colour, form, and texture to embody the myriad emotions that accompany their diverse experiences. The layered canvases serve as a visual language, offering audiences a space for catharsis, inviting them to confront their relationships with themselves, femininity, power, and vulnerability.

Inkster's innovative techniques and emotive narratives foster meaningful dialogue surrounding gender and empowerment, while her commitment to community engagement includes volunteering at local galleries to nurture emerging talent.

A graduate of The South Australian School of Art / University of South Australia, Inkster has established herself as a significant figure in contemporary art, showcasing her work nationally and internationally in esteemed galleries and exhibitions, including an Artist Residency with Comebeck Ltd in Germany.
