The Black Madonna

Karla Dickens

Karla Dicken’s new series of paintings, mixed media artworks, prints and sculpture are based on the artist’s personal, cultural and spiritual memories. The Madonna and Child (or mother and child) is a subject which has been represented across time and places in the history of art and continues to fascinate artists. Karla has adapted this icon to her own personal life as a mother and Aboriginal woman of mixed Wiradjuri and Irish descent, and situated it within Aboriginal culture and history.
