Melaine Dare (@melaniedare) was born and raised in the Wheatbelt of Western Australia to an Australian farmer and a mother who at 5 years old fled with her family from the former Czechoslovakia after WWII to Australia as a refugee.
The artist is a process-led, research-based visual artist who – through primarily painting and drawing – has explored varying but interrelated subjects including psychology, sociology, neurology, biology, identity, perspective and physics. With the intent of understanding how meaning is constructed within individual subjectivity.
“I am interested in how we are defined and confined by the physiology, psychology, culture, geography, and time period we are born into and live. Contexts which inform us. Which give us meaning. Meaning which is built, sustained and discarded moment by moment. Meaning we don’t always abide by, contexts we don’t always agreed with or even understand. In these moments I begin to see.” Mel Dare
