Meet an Artist
1
Dale Collier is a socially engaged interdisciplinary artist of Wiradjuri and Northern European heritage, who experiments with a wide range of media in his practice. His work explores complex social and global dynamics and aims to encourage new ways of thinking about ecological security. Dale grew up on Yuin country, on the South Coast of New South Wales, and now lives and works upon Awabakal, Worimi and Wiradjuri country, in the Hunter region and Central New South Wales. An emerging artist who won the Brenda Clouten Scholarship at MRAG in 2016, Dale has increasingly spent time making work on Country, responding to the climate crisis and the hidden
workings of social and political power as his practice has progressed. Dale often travels and participates in artist residencies, so we communicated via email for this interview. As an artist engaging with a diverse range of media, including sound, text, moving image and installation, Dale focuses on experimental processes. 24
