Originally from Australia her conceptual work drew her to Italy in the late 90s. She currently lives near Venice where she works as a polyedric artist, moving with ease between painting, installation, photography and writing. Her attention to spectacle converges with her philosophical commitment to challenge and subvert the gaze of the viewer, regardless of gender or sex. ⎃ https://www.instagram.com/damsonartist/ VIEW FIVE MORE POEMS ⎀︎ © Melissa Damson Wauchope 2018 ⎃ https://www.instagram.com/damsonartist/
