Harry Merriman lives and works in Boorowa, NSW. Australia.

Born 1996. 

I am an emerging artist based in on Wiradjuri land inBoorowa NSW, drawing inspiration from my upbringing in rural Australia and deepfamilial ties to the region. My multidisciplinary practice—spanningphotography, video, painting, and collage—critiques Australian identity throughan exploration of national symbolism in media, particularly film andadvertising. My work is created by assembling a diverse array of materials fromboth domestic and international sources, sourced through digital and physicalmeans. By interrogating visual tropes and constructed narratives, I aim toexpose the fabricated elements within Australian history, identity, andself-perception. My work seeks not only to critique but also to evoke anemotional response by challenging viewers to connect their own identities andexperiences with the broader questions of nationhood and belonging.
