Arielle Rose Hankinson is a Brisbane/Meanjin-based mixed media artist. From vibrant strokes of oil paint to intricate layers of digital collage, Arielle explores the kaleidoscopic landscape of her psyche and befriends its surreal inhabitants.
Arielle's practice is greatly influenced by Del Kathryn Barton's vibrant artworks, as she infuses hyperfeminine imagery with bursts of colour and patterns.
Despite challenges with fine motor skills due to an essential tremor, Arielle persists in her artmaking, adapting techniques to embrace her condition. As a person living with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Arielle has always turned to art as a form of therapy. She is constantly amazed at its mystical ability to quell her inner turmoil.

This artwork is a contemplation of reproduction communicated through ovum and spermatoid-like forms. Despite the entity's act of creation, their visage is marked with sorrow. This piece challenges the romanticised notion that creation, whether through artmaking or reproduction, is an inherently positive experience.
