Utopia of the Ordinary Habit

Anita Cummins is a white, neurodivergent and queer visual artist living on the unceded Wurundjeri land in Naarm (Melbourne). They are currently a Master of Fine Art research candidate at Monash University. In response to personal emotional, physical and psychic experiences, and the wider systems to which these experiences relate, their work aims to seek out and uncover alternative modes, methods and visualizations of radical coping, healing and recovery. They use arduous and repetitive methodologies as a mechanism for the processing and exploration of these complex states. Recent exhibitions include 4am flaming arrows, Bundoora Homestead, Stimulus Package, Darebin City Council FUSE Festival, 2021, Hatched, Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, 2019, feelings, Monash University, 2018.
