Susan Nader

Nader is close to completing her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Curtin University. As part of her assessment process Nader is completing her installation and documentation at the Narooma Gallery.

This place we call home (a time capsule) is an examination of the emotional attachments and complex relationships to our homes. Amongst a lifetime of collected possessions, home is where memories are made, our identities are etched and our sense of place is anchored.

Through the lens of the bushfires, she investigates the issues and concepts relating to loss of home and our beautiful environment. Though trauma and loss are deeply felt, there is also an emerging resilience that inspires and is borne out in the regeneration of the bush and the built environment all around us.
