Easton Dunne is an artist, artsworker and arts educator based in Central Queensland on Darumbal Country. Their work explores connections between identity and place through an autobiographical lens with a particular focus on LGBTQIAP+ narratives in rural and regional contexts.
They utilise drawing, sculpture, installation and time-based media to create autobiographical narratives offering their perspective on life as a queer, transgender and non-binary person who grew up in rural and regional Central Queensland and returned there to live as an adult after studying and working in South-East Queensland.
Informed by Rural Queer Studies, Dunne’s work aims to facilitate dialogue and exchange between regional and metropolitan communities around how socio-cultural and geographical factors influence diversity in queer identity work and practices.
Dunne completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at Queensland College of Art in 2012 and a Postgraduate Diploma of Education at Queensland University of Technology in 2014.
