Rising To Responsibility

  

  • Acrylic on corrugated iron

Minna’s work is an ode to aliveness — the ecstatic, animal pulse that hums in all living things. Living and working on Larrakia Country in Darwin, Minna creates murals and paintings that celebrate the untamed, the interconnected, and the gloriously alive. Her work moves between the urgent and the ridiculous – reverent one moment, absurd the next. Stripping forms back to their bones, she crafts bold silhouettes, organic lines, and instinctive marks to create a world in which animals and humans are equally wild: tangled in a writhing symphony of mischief, sensuality, humour, and resistance. Minna’s work speaks to a fierce love of place, a refusal to let spirit be domesticated, and a political urgency to protect what is living – the earth beneath our feet and the fire within. As her practice evolves, she is increasingly drawn to politically engaged, environmentally and socially grounded work, with a deepening commitment to showing solidarity with First Nations causes and grassroots resistance movements. She believes art should live beyond galleries – accessible, part of daily life, and connected to the people it speaks to.
