About the artwork:
Multidisciplinary artist, Jenna Lee’s practice explores the act of identification and labelling, and the relationship between language and object. Lee is a mixed Larrakia, Wardaman, and Karajarri woman who recently returned to Australia after living and working in the UK. ‘Still an Invasive Native’ is part of an ongoing response to a collection of Australian native gum trees in the Kew Gardens, London. Far removed from their country, Lee found comfort in the plants’ ability to thrive in a hostile environment, drawing parallels with her own separation from home. – Written by Freja Carmichael
