Uncompromising in her approach and unflinching in her resolve and determination, Eugenia is an artist who works in digital media art, often embodied within larger ambitious installations, which explore language, translation and the body from a personal and feminist perspective.
She talks candidly about her migrant background – Czech-born of Greek parents who arrived in Australia in 1959 – and the constant negotiation required to find way to feel a welcome part of an Australian scene. Eugenia’s work weaves images of her body, personal familial stories and texts, in various guises, to describe this uncertain and ever-shifting terrain. She takes us beyond where we usually go.
