Artist Interview: Lisa Sammut
20:20 brought together twenty contemporary Australian artists, commissioned at the beginning of the pandemic to create work for our major Summer exhibition. Never before had MAMA have every space in our museum, inside and out presenting new work
In her work 'I just don't think that way', Canberra-based artist Lisa Sammut drewupon universal symbols of the cosmos, in a moving installation that created a magical exchange between all the moving elements. In her practice, Sammut explores the idea that movement and motion reflect the emotional experience of our inner universe.
The artist hoped that this installation created an atmosphere that encouraged viewers to stop and take a moment of self-reflection.
