Naomi Hobson: Adolescent Wonderland

29 April @ 10:00 am - 18 June @ 4:00 pm ACST

Naomi Hobson is a Southern Kaantju/Umpila woman who lives in Coen, a small town of 360 people in the centre of Cape York Peninsula in far north Queensland. Inspired by her immediate environment, Hobson’s works express her ongoing connection to Country and her ancestors’ ties and relationships with their traditional lands.

The title of this series was inspired by the classic children’s novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Themes of youth, playfulness and childhood memories are evident in Hobson’s photographs. The brightly coloured figures and their props lure the viewer into a dream-like reality, much like the way Alice follows the white rabbit.

In Adolescent Wonderland, Hobson is working to empower young people in her community, to encourage them to be themselves and to celebrate their uniqueness. She says: “I want people to see who our youth really are: fun, playful, smart, savvy, proud, adventurous and witty.”
