Therese Ritchie
Adelaide House Todd Mall, 2011 
12 colour inkjet print on Hahnenuhle Photo Rag 308gsm100% cotton, (edition 2/3) 
50 x 134 cm
Therese Ritchie was instrumental in the political poster movement of the late 1980s and her early work with graphic design techniques continues to inform recent digital collages and inkjet prints. Ritchie is committed to addressing topical issues affecting Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory — the context in which she lives and works — particularly the complex terrain of race relations. Addressing subject matter that is at times painful, sad or frustrating, Ritchie also uncovers its beauty.

 

Susan Jenkins

She has enjoyed being part of a strong social, political and creative community through engagement with heritage advocacy and cultural mapping. In her art work, she looks for the quiet place, for beauty and value in the apparently overlooked.
