Anita Holtsclaw grew up on the volcanic shores of Taribelang Bunda, Gooreng Gooreng, Gurang, and Bailai country. Her works explore our relationship to the poetic coastal landscape. Embracing the emotive qualities of moving-image media and sound, she creates embodied works that offer an expanded field of vision for the viewer to navigate. Her artwork is conceived and made on the unceeded lands and flowing waters of the Yuggera, Jagera, Turrbal, Yugambeh, Quandamooka, Taribelang Bunda, Gooreng Gooreng, Gurang, and Bailai people where Anita lives and swims.
Holtsclaw’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at respected venues including: the Museum of Brisbane 2022, CARPARK Gallery, Brisbane, 2021; Citè International des Arts, Paris, 2017; The Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane 2015; The Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, 2013-14; Bus Projects, Melbourne, 2012. She has undertaken international residencies at: No.w.here Lab, London; Citè International des Arts, Paris; and Café Tissardmine, Morocco.
