Anna Sabadini
In my work, I explore the layered interrelationships that define ‘home’. I paint the physical spaces of home – lounge rooms, dining rooms, suburban gardens, enlarging to include the circle of familiar landscapes of Albany, Western Australia, where I live. Within these depicted physical spaces, I also explore cultural spaces of home, affecting ways of seeing, sense of identity and belonging. As a painter, this includes the language and tradition of painting. Being a daughter of immigrants, I’m particularly interested in metaphors of home that have migrated from other places – the themes of fracture and translation, being foundational metaphors for all migrants, are ones I repeatedly return to.
