About the tutor:

Debbie Taylor-Worley is a Gamilaraay artist, educator and curator whose work responds to place and story. Her art practice is multidisciplinary, working mainly with clay and textiles. Common themes within her arts-based research include female empowerment, the symbols used in “women’s business” rituals, (both within the Gamilaraay nation and European nations associated with her coloniser heritage), and decolonising colonial narratives.

Preferencing natural and foraged materials connected to Country and working within the landscape and directly on the ground, Taylor-Worley’s work draws on Ancestral and intuitive guidance, creating work that bridges bi-cultural divides.

Taylor-Worley is a graduate of Griffith University’s Bachelor of Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art (with Honours) and gained a Doctorate in Visual Art in 2023
