Baby Guerrilla’s work is layered; there is no singular narrative or reading. She makes it to be open to the insights, thoughts, feelings, and interpretations that the viewer brings. As well as aspects of everyday life and human connection, Baby Guerrilla explores our connection to, and impact upon, this Earth.
Her first street works were partly autobiographical depictions of tiny women falling naked from the sky. They reflected her own vulnerability, a longing for connection and somewhere to land. Other figures are often in a state of floating. Some of them seem to be in a trance and some in a state of transition or transformation mid-air. Some of them are being held onto by others. What’s common amongst all of these is that they are open to a variety of interpretations.
About the artist
Baby Guerrilla is an artist, based in Naarm/Melbourne, interested in approaching space and perspective in new and innovative ways inside and outside a gallery or traditional art space. After graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne in 2002, Baby Guerrilla says she was all set for life as a painter. Street art began as a hobby on the side that then seemed to take on a life of its own and grew and grew. She sees the two mediums as complimentary and the possibilities for her works as infinite. For her, drawings and paintings on walls is a beautiful challenge of space and constraints, where she can defy and dance with gravity.
