biography
Willabel Grindley Bennett is a multi-disciplinary artist based on Dharug and Gundungurra country in the Blue Mountains. Willabel's practice is raw, and experimental, a therapeutic outlet to process emotion and express beauty. She explores new techniques using a breadth of mediums and incorporating new and found materials. Her work incorporates organic lines and shapes found in the human form and the natural environment. Through exploring her own vulnerabilities, and the vulnerability of the natural environment Willabel seeks to enact change. The process of using recycled materials, mirrors the subject: something discarded, reimagined, given new life. In a society that at times can make us feel invisible and excluded, Willabel allows the audience to feel hopeful. She seeks to empower people through visuals to convey hope, compassion, justice, and growth, as art itself is a form of resistance. She is working toward a multidisciplinary exhibition that brings these threads together, one that invites audiences to experience the world as she does: through feeling, through sensing, through the beauty and complexity of being fully, vulnerably alive.
