I pay my deepest respects and gratitude to the palawa and pakana people of lutruwita/tasmania, and to the bindal and wulgurukaba people of thul garrie waja/gurrumbilbarra/ townsville.
I acknowledge that these are the true custodians of the land on which I live and dream, whose sovereignty has never been ceded.
I am Gabrielle Eve; a multi-disciplinary artist, photographer and filmmaker, living and practicing in lutruwita since 2017.
In 2021 I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Tasmania, and have been working as a Creative Documentarian & Archivist at Procreate for the last two and a half years.
My photographic and film work encompasses a range of styles, including documentary filming and photography, fine art and performance art documentation, candid wedding and event photography, experimental film and music video production, and various creative collaborations with local and interstate artists and musicians.
I practice in many creative areas, including sculpture and craft, symbology, experimental writing, audio-visual installation, and archival assemblage.
Immersive and affective, my work is driven by a desire to generate deeply personal experiences; to viscerally articulate what it is to feel and be felt.
Often grounded in the most personal details of my own life, my work incorporates found objects and text, environmental sounds, ekphrastic writing, chance encounters, colour and light, other people’s stories, and all of the things that I see, feel, hear, and experience.
Creative explorations into memory, identity and emotional connection have grown alongside a 10 years long, and still ongoing, practice of documenting everyday experiences of my own life with a DSLR camera.
I am enamoured with the idea of emotional residue as a constant accumulation of inseparable impressions that drive and shape our connections to the world.
My practice is motivated by a belief that these intangible entities might in some way be recorded, preserved, and rediscovered through time and space.
