Vanghoua Anthony Vue, The Manny (from the ‘Hard-hat Devi(l)-(n)ation’ series), 2022, Mixed media, 145 x 120 x 100cm (without stand)
Our April laurel goes to Vanghoua Anthony Vue for a dazzling headpiece made from everyday objects.
My studio varies as I work across different visual art practices, from design through to site-specific temporary installations. However, my main studio space is located at my current home in Logan Reserve, on an acreage surrounded by native Australian trees and bushland.
Vanghoua Anthony Vue is a Hmong Australian artist who focuses on cultural identity, history and memory, and collaborative and diverse practices.
