Held Memories

Kim Price is a Brisbane-based emerging artist with a practice focusing on collage and abstract acrylic works. Beginning her creative journey more than ten years ago, Kim’s early work centred on drawing and watercolour, however she was increasingly drawn to collage as her main artistic medium from 2019. In 2023, Kim left her corporate career to work full-time as an artist and to care for her mum who has dementia. Art is a shared passion for them both and provides opportunities for outings to art galleries and shows. Kim regularly exhibits her work within Australia and continues to expand her knowledge and understanding of collage and her artistic practice.

This work is a tribute to my mother, whose creativity profoundly influenced my artistic practice. Now living with dementia, she can no longer pursue the creative activities she once loved. One of my most treasured possessions is a large blanket she knitted from individual squares. Wrapping myself in the blanket during winter feels like a warm embrace from her. 'Held Memories' reflects on the lasting bonds of love and memory, even as minds fade.
