CIM SEARS
Cim completed a Master of Visual Arts by Research at ECU in 2020. She has a Photography degree obtained at ECU, and previously an Arts degree in Anthropology and Politics from UWA. Subsequent to this she studied and worked as a Social Worker for a number of years where her main emphasis was in the area of women’s health. She has exhibited her art and photography locally and internationally, though, her priority is to develop acute immersive processes and practice. She has a multidisciplinary practice that includes, printmaking processes, photography, ceramics and script. She travels long distances to the Western Desert where she draws on her ancestral connections and connections to Country to explore and discover narratives that are lost from memory and the historical landscape.
