Irene Amorosi pushes boundaries by utilising a variety of mediums to create a considered and tactile body of work. Her work is both poignant and interesting as she responds and creates according to the emotional and political climate of today’s world. Her exhibitions are both innovative and compelling as they provide her with a perfect platform to present her philosophical views.
