Louise Meuwissen is a Melbourne-based artist working predominantly in painting, embroidery, and installation.
Her work explores perception, contradiction, the imaginary, categorisation and regimes of value within contemporary consumerist society. Meuwissen completed her Bachelor of Fine Art majoring in Painting, and minoring in Printmaking at The Victorian College of the Arts in 2013. She has participated in numerous group, collaborative and solo exhibitions in Melbourne, Sydney, and New Zealand.
Meuwissen’s practice is vested in sustainability and tactility which coincides with the ethos behind The Australian Tapestry Workshop. She usually utilises found materials, and during her residency used the colour palette of the Workshop to explore new ventures, and opportunities for knowledge-sharing, upskilling and collaboration with the Artist Master-Weavers.
