Freyja Moon is a textile artist who lives and works on Biripi land in Taree, NSW. Moon’s practice is informed by the experience of living with an invisible disability and mental illness. Their work is driven by recurring themes of perspective and clarity in relation to concepts of identity and memory.
With imagery inspired by personal narrative, they comment on the often unspoken or stigmatised aspects of existence with the aim to communicate the significance of recognising and supporting the voices of those who find present structures of society inaccessible. Their artmaking, as a cathartic practice, is integral to their existence. They make art to connect fragments of past and present, and to communicate stories and experiences drawing upon the symbolic capacity of textiles to communicate internal identity.
Moon recently exhibited in Northern Exposure 7, Glasshouse Regional Gallery, curated by Bridget Purtill (2022); were a finalist in Whitehall Art Prize: Into the Light (2021); and a finalist in Naked and Nude, Manning Regional Art Gallery (2021).
