Gaye Jurisich is a Hamilton-based artist of many years’ experience. Her work includes painting and sculpture in a variety of media.
"It has become more and more obvious to me that my works are a dialogue that involves the reality of space and time, visual associations and ambiguity. My work reveals elements of the journey, the familiar becoming unfamiliar, and the known becoming unknown.
Elements of trust, human mortality and feminist ideology are exploration points. It is important that my work challenges ideals, initiates thought and provokes discussion about connectedness, to our past and future. It isn’t about making beautiful things, it’s more than that, a deeper purpose, although I can’t always pinpoint or describe it as eloquently as I would like."
