Sue Kneebone (born 1963) is an Adelaide-based artist and arts educator who lectures at Adelaide Central School of Art.

Biography

Sue Kneebone was born in 1963.[1] She has a Bachelor of Fine Art (Hons) (1998) and a Masters in Fine Arts (2000) from Victorian College of the Arts (2000) as well as a PhD from the University of South Australia (2010).[2][3]

She has held exhibitions in Australia and the Republic of Ireland,[4][5] and in 2014 featured in Episode 2 of Hannah Gadsby's three-part series on Australian art, Oz.[6][7]

Work

Kneebone began as a ceramicist but expanded her art practice to include photomontage and other mixed media. Through her ceramics, photomontages and assemblages, she explores questions of cultural identity through her own family history,[8][9] as well as the impact of empire on the Australian landscape.[10][11] She has been described as combining “a hypnotic storyteller with the backbone of an archaeologist”.[12]

She uses text in her work to create word art, which featured in a 2018 exhibition of word art in the Hugo Mitchell Gallery in Adelaide.[13]

Awards and recognition

Kneebone was the South Australian recipient of the Qantas Foundation Contemporary Art Travel Award in 2011.[14][15]

Collections

Kneebone's works are held in the collection of the Art Gallery of South Australia.[1][16]
