Five Australian artists of Chinese heritage celebrate the evolving nature of identity in The trace is not a presence ... This exciting range of works includes paintings, sculptures, ceramics, installations, videos and prints. They connect the artists’ material histories – including historical objects and cultural items – with their present lives. The works often draw on familiar iconography and materials but are reconfigured and adapted to tell artists’ personal stories.
