Intrigued by the idea of secret worlds pulsing
and thriving beyond our awareness,
McKnight’s work reveals a sense of magic in
the natural world. Throughout her practice,
McKnight has returned to the core themes of
transformation and the interconnectedness
of all things. Her current work continues with
these concepts, speculating on the nature of
being by referring to the everyday alchemy of
growth and decay. ‘Deep in the dark’ is
inspired by banksia nuts from around the
bushland and coastline where she regularly
walks: places close to her home outside
Walyalup/Fremantle.
