Lia McKnight is an Australian artist and curator based in Waylyup/Fremantle, WA who works across drawing, sculpture, textiles and installation. Intrigued by concepts of transformation and the interconnectedness of all things, McKnight’s work speculates on the nature of being by referring to the everyday alchemy of growth and decay.

Privileging lived experience and emotional geographies as areas of intrigue in both her curatorial and art practices, her research seeks to speculate on the shifting parameters of identity and context.

Lia graduated from Edith Cowan University with a BA Visual Arts in 1997. She began a Master of Arts Administration at COFA, UNSW in 2002, before heading back to WA in 2003 to start a family.  She completed a Master of Arts, Cultural Heritage at Curtin University in 2005. She is the Curator at the John Curtin Gallery.
I acknowledge the Noongar Wadjuk people as the traditional owners of country on which I live and work. I wish to acknowledge their continuing connection to land, sea and community and I pay my respects to them and their culture; and to Elders, past present and future.
