Synopsis
Fiona Foley’s ‘Forbidden’ conjures an image of an artist who, in her practice, peers behind doors that society would prefer stayed shut. Foley not only looks behind doors, but shines a light into the darkness and brings forth what she finds to public view. As a Badtjala woman from the Hervey Bay region in Queensland she has been forthright in displaying her culture and the sins that have been enacted against Australia’s Indigenous people. She has also been remarkably candid as a female artist in addressing the sexuality of Indigenous women, what is not permitted or out of bounds can also be a forbidden fruit, at once compelling and dangerous. Her work comprises photographs, sculpture and installations, printmaking and video. Essays by Franca Tamisari, Alison Kubler, Rachel Kent and others.

Condition: FINE. A comprehensive survey of Fiona Foleyâs art with works across photography, sculpture and installation, printmaking and video. Art, Aboriginal Australian. pp. 152 First Edition. Signed by Artist (inscription).Fiona Foley (born 1964) is a contemporary Indigenous Australian artist from Badtjala, Fraser Island, Queensland.She studied at the Sydney College of the Arts. She has travelled as an artist internationally and to remote communities in Northern Territory. In particular visits to Ramingining inspired an awakening to culture and a conscious commitment to living on her own land in Badtjala. She helped establish the Boomalli Aboriginal Arts Cooperative in Sydney along with a group of prominent and politically active Aboriginal artists.Foley uses her art to explore the tensions between sex, race and history and their various constructions.Foley's work refers to her unique life history as an indigenous woman growing up in regional Queensland, in a community with a living memory of their colonisation by the English. Foley's discourse of history and culture is personal as it has impacted on her family, community and remains central to her sense of identity.For Foley however, the political and the personal are not separate entities. Her lifestyle and art both reflect a commitment to her Aboriginal identity and challenge Australian culture to reread history to reveal moments of strength and empowerment.In 2000, Foley's work was amongst that of eight individual and collaborative groups of Indigenous Australian artists shown in the prestigious Nicholas Hall at the Hermitage Museum in Russia. The exhibition received a positive reception from Russian critics, one of whom wrote:This is an exhibition of contemporary art, not in the sense that it was done recently, but in that it is cased in the mentality, technology and philosophy of radical art of the most recent times. No one, other than the Aborigines of Australia, has succeeded in exhibiting such art at the Hermitage. Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
