Kirra Niner
I create drawings, paintings and sculptures using a variety of materials, including paint, oil, wood, foam, paper, felt, and recycled items.
My work explores the relationships in ecologies and biomes, within my self, symbolizing concepts like parasitism, symbiosis, and mutualism. Harnessing a childlike wonder and curiosity of the natural world, and human figure, my colourful and whimsical pieces tangentially weave through themes of connection, communication, and confusion.
Fascinated by the intricate language of natural systems, feeling and the nonhuman knowledge they hold. Through layering and repurposing materials, the work is familiar but challenging, innocent but insidious, internal but external. Ultimately, my art presents audiences with a chance to consider alternative modes of thinking, celebrate the joy of creating, and to revel in the complexities of our enigmatic outside and inside worlds.

My work has always been out of place, too colourful, too childish, too nostalgic, just too much.
This work is a triptych dedication to the stages of ''too much'' .
The pressure, excitement and confusion of being in the box, out of the box, all around the box, but never in the right box.
