Eva Heiky Olga Abbinga is a cross disciplinary visual artist motivated by an interest in complexities of place, identity and sustainability.

Through installation, sculpture, painting and photography she explores issues of social, environmental and economic concern and aims to create a dialogue with the viewer that questions existing notions of the urban ideal.

As an artist in residence at the ATW, Eva created a contemporary Wagga. Wagga’s are a uniquely Australian innovation in textile art, made from quilted pieces of scrap fabric. She created a small patch of tapestry, made from scrap bobbin ends to be incorporated into the finished Wagga.
