Thank you to all who joined us for the launch of the 2025 Gertrude Edition: When daylight fades and night invades by Mia Boe. The generosity of Gertrude’s community of supporters made this event an unprecedented success, and a fitting celebration at the end of Gertrude’s 40-year anniversary programming.⁠
⁠
Over the past five years, Mia Boe has garnered momentous critical attention for her painting-based practice. Her work engages with perceptions of justice, as well as the terrains of landscape and imagination. In consecutive bodies of work, Boe has positioned key figures as central, or as counterpoints, to the context of inheritance and disinheritance. From seminal Murri poet, activist and artist, Lionel Fogarty, to colonial art historical figures such as Russell Drysdale and Sidney Nolan, Boe positions relational knowledges and political histories within the context of a First Nations worldview.⁠
⁠
For the 2025 Gertrude Edition, When daylight fades and night invades, Boe has worked with Negative Press to produce her first works using the process of screen printing. The three editions represent the arc of a day, from day, to dusk to night, to convey the passing of time, and phases of presence. Within these temporally shifting landscapes, Boe depicts three successive chapters: The shadow, The portal and The return. The shadow presents a sinewy figure reuniting with its imprint on Country, a place from which it has been extricated and distanced; The portal depicts the connection of body and place; and The return suggests a process of rejuvenation and transformation.⁠
⁠
Thank you to artist Mia Boe, master printmaker Trent Walter of Negative Press, Ryan Ward of United Measures, and to Luisa Bosci, Michael and Janet Buxton for hosting us at Buxton International.⁠

Mia Boe participated in the Gertrude Studio Program from 2022 to 2024.⁠
