Joi Murugavell has been drawing since she was six, her whimsical and hilarious drawings she calls ¡®Oodlies' are her means of finding escape and understanding. Her work often investigates the intricacies or as she puts it ¡®the trials and tribulations¡¯ of human communication. She favours acrylics, ink, pen, markers and is continually experimenting with new surfaces and ideas ¡®because new experiences often create the environment to become ¡®unstuck'. Her heavy introverted tendencies has not stopped her from several live performances, often drawing on a wacom tablet to music, inviting audience participation. She believes a piece is not complete until it¡¯s viewed by an audience who then adds a final coat of interaction and sometimes the most useful friction. She currently works from her quiet studio in Sydney, Australia.
