Anney Bounpraseuth is an Australian-born artist of Laotian heritage who works mainly in drawing, painting, and textiles. Based on her experience as an ex-Jehovah’s Witness, Bounpraseuth’s practice reimagines earthly, present-day paradises in “crappliques” as a post-traumatic growth response to spiritual abuse. Bounpraseuth calls her style “Cabracadabra” after her influential mother’s clashing aesthetic and growing up in Cabramatta – a suburb of South West Sydney with a large Asian migrant population and vibrant fabric and discount variety stores. Bounpraseuth reinterprets the matriarchal tradition of sewing to cut up painful histories and salvage remnants of her past to create new iconography in self-defined narratives.
