About the artist:
Amy Perejuan-Capone works between Fremantle, the Perth hills, and international residencies. With a background in art and design, Perejuan-Capone’s practice is underpinned by an enquiry into the systems of exchange that are present through the acquisition and application of craft. Across broad mediums including ceramics, textiles and metalworks, she seeks to understand objects, materials and the networks of social and cultural agency held within them. In recent years Perejuan-Capone has collaborated with her father to investigate their multi-generational connection to aviation.

Perejuan-Capone is the recipient of numerous residencies, including Asialink Taipei/Fremantle Exchange, Taiwan (2020); Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Centre, Shigaraki, Japan (2019); and Upernavik Museum, Greenland (2017).

Recent solo exhibitions and commissions include Sky Cave for the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, Don’t Stare at the Sun/for Too Long, PS Art Space, Fremantle (2019); This is How We Walk on the Moon, Artsource Old Customs House, Fremantle (2018); and One Word for Snow, TRANSART temporary public art program, City of Perth (2017).
