Judy Watson - 'Artists are Strange Creatures' | Artist Interview | TateShots

Meet Judy Watson, the artist exploring her Aboriginal heritage and using art to bring about social change.
Judy Watson was born in 1959 in Munduberra, Queensland, Australia and lives and works in Brisbane.
The artist uses printmaking, drawing, painting and installation to explore themes relating to her Aboriginal heritage.
Watson’s matrilineal family is from Waanyi country in Northwest Queensland and her work is inspired by traditional Waanyi culture.
‘Artists are strange creatures’, Watson says. ‘We have that passion to follow through working with chaos, issues within the environment, racial issues - which I look at a lot.’
'As soon as you start channelling who you are into your artwork, you will have more inner strength and be able to deal with adversity,' she continues.

    I'm always inspired by those artist's who know who they are and can channel thier history into thier art - the works are strong, powerful and say something about the human condition throughout history - both the good, and the bad.

    I subscribe to the Tate channel & received notice of this new video today. "It's been a frustrating day and I'm tired," I first thought. I then thought, "Well, it's only 5 minutes," and clicked play. Thank you Tate and Judy Watson for the most inspiring 5:34 of my day!
