Millie Black is a painter and textile artist living and working on Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country. Her current practice-led research explores connection to environment through the atmosphere and the ground. Air and soil combine to weave together people and nature. She works predominantly in oils and watercolour, with her painting background influencing the direction of her textile pieces. Her textile process starts as delicate sheets of painted mulberry paper, which she cuts and spins to weave painted landscapes into fabric.

Millie brings to light landscapes both near and far, as places to protect, care for and be part of. From the underlying material processes of painting to the atmosphere of distant landscapes, comes an uncertainty of what lies beyond. In exploring the sublimity of of these places and our connection to them, particularly through our immediate environment, her work reflects on and redefines our place within wilderness.
