Jody GrahamI have to break into abandoned houses to see what is inside. I sift through rubbish to find abandoned treasure.
I am attracted to and make work from the broken and debauched. I know in my heart my own brokenness, and I have lived in debauchery until I got clean and sober 7 years ago.
My art is an expression of my truths. Jody Graham April 2017 Jody Graham is a Sydney-based artist whose work encompasses drawing, mixed media, sculpture and installation.
