Career


Carol McGregor aims through her practice to explore alternative forms of cultural expression and to adjust new technologies that would help her further examine the diversity of ancestry, experiences and intimate histories concealed within the landscape.

For her doctoral project, McGregor examined the material culture of possum skin cloaks in South East Queensland (SEQ). Thanks to her research work and the workshop she facilitated,[9] the contemporary making of possum skin cloak was revitalised in SEQ communities.

McGregor collaborated with Glennys Briggs on the Art of the Skins (cloak making project and exhibition) presented at the State Library of Queensland in June – Nov 2016.[9][10]

McGregor's work in cast silver, Cornerstone (2011–18), was featured by the Griffith University Art Museum, Brisbane, as part of the Boundary Lines group exhibition in November 2018 – February 2019.[11][12]

McGregor's latest work Skin Country (2018) was featured by the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, as part of The Commute exhibition in September – December 2018.[13]
