Working across painting, installation, photography, collage, sculpture, socially engaged art, and temporary and permanent public art, Souliere’s art practice explores the interconnectedness, and complexities involved in systems. Whether social, political and or cultural, Souliere is interested in how these systems have impacted Indigenous people in personal and collective histories.

Influenced by her North American First Nation heritage, Souliere’s choice of materials are diverse, and include mass produced materials and repurposed objects. These ready-mades are often manipulated with handmade repetitive processes such as taping, stitching, stacking, and binding. Texture and colour are also prevalent, and when combined with craft processes and everyday objects, they speak of the vast array of subjects residing within systems.

Souliere was born and raised on Turtle Island (North America) and lives and works on Gadigal Land, (Sydney) Australia. She is a member of Michipicoten First Nation and has a PhD and MVA from Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney.
