Hera Wing is a multimedia artist based in Narrm/Melbourne, Australia. Hera’s deep appreciation of natural forms and biological structures comes from her upbringing off-grid in the forests of northern New Zealand. Chimeric human/animal/plant hybrids feature prominently as subject matter—linking the human sphere to other life forms and the planet as an organism. What appears alien at first reveals itself as derived from this earth upon closer inspection. Mythology is deeply ingrained in Hera’s work; through symbolism from a multiplicity of cultural influences she endeavours to capture a personal mythology relevant to her experience of the present world and human condition.
