Dropping a pin on the map in the deep waters of the Asia Pacific region, Greater Sunrise navigates an area in the Timor Sea and Indian Ocean. Remotely honing in on the seabed between Timor-Leste and Northern Australia, the work is an invitation to sink into a meditation centred on narratives of geopolitics and transcendence.
Rebecca Ross lives on Kombumerri Country/Queensland's Southern Gold Coast. Since completing a Master of Fine Art at Queensland University of Technology she has exhibited at the Embassy of Australia in Washington D.C. and Festival 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, and was awarded the Rome Studio at the British School at Rome by the Australia Council for the Arts. Rebecca has exhibited nationally and participated in international artist in residence and research programs in Malta, Italy, New Zealand and U.S.A. In 2013 she founded The Walls Art Space on the Gold Coast which she directed for almost a decade. Her contribution to the Gold Coast arts ecology was recognised with an International Women’s Day Leadership Award in 2020.
