Asma D Mather is a multimedia artist who works across research contemplation and drawing who lives and works on Wilyakali lands in Broken Hill, NSW. Throughout her practice, Mather engages in invisible research on the unseen where she visualises ethereal systems, mapping constellations of ideas and geography. She is driven by the idea that art can contribute to knowledge in its ability to contemplate and synthesise.
Mather believes that art is a site of concentration; a methodology for knowledge finding and that it has alchemical potential as a meeting point of idea and matter. Her work is constantly seeking to uncover or demystify systems that cause harm to the intelligence of the heart as a real sense that is constantly informing the spirit, however often drowned out by the mind.
Recent achievements include an Honourable Mention in Hadleys Landscape Art Prize (2021);solo exhibition Notes from the Barzakh, curated by Blake Griffiths, Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery (2020); and winning the Create NSW Projects for Individuals (2020 Round 1).
