Marielle Johnston (she/her) is an emerging visual artist completing her final year of a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Arts) at QUT. While integrating themes of hydro feminism, eco-psychology, science, and spirituality, Johnston is passionate about creating immersive and somatic experiences through various mediums such as installations and sculptural works. She aims to investigate the relationships between social culture and the environment by fostering a deeper connection with the natural world through an empathetic lens. Johnston hopes to bring a traditional mindfulness practice and a profound sensitivity to Barrambin/Victoria Park for the Greenheart Fair. Deep Listening is an immersive installation that integrates and weaves seamlessly through the paperbark tree site reminiscent of a gentle stream of water. The creative response of the layered textures within the paperbark pays homage to the Melaleuca’s regenerative, environmental importance and cultural significance to the indigenous peoples. The artwork aims to redirect visitors' focus from the external material world into a more tranquil, safe, and sensitive space of deep listening to the natural world and further into the inner springs within each individual.
