Jennifer McCamley has worked as an individual art practitioner and collaboratively with Janet Burchill since the mid-1980s.

McCamley’s work has often engaged with the legacies of modernism and has traversed a wide range of references from psychoanalysis to film, literature to feminism. McCamley works across drawing, painting, screenprinting, textiles, photography, neon and sculpture. Drawing has remained an important element to McCamley’s individual practice and ‘translated’ drawings frequently form the basis of other works. Throughout her time at the ATW, McCamley intends to investigate ‘surface translations and spatial transcriptions’, in order to produce a set of small-scale tapestries.

McCamley and Burchill have exhibited widely, nationally and internationally. National exhibitions include Burchill/McCamley at Neon Park (2016), Endless Circulation Tarrawarra Biennale (2016), Redlands Art Prize at National Art School in Sydney (2016) and Imaginary Accord at the Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane (2015). International exhibitions include Concrete at Tophane-I Amire Culture and Arts Centre in Istanbul (2015) and Light from Light at The National Art Museum of China in Beijing (2010/11).
