I did one studio elective in Fine Art and that experience changed the way I thought about and approached art. Admittedly, I fell into Fine Art by chance, but I stayed because of how expansive Monash University’s approach to contemporary art is.
To have the opportunity to try as many things as you can, and to be able to use different fields to inform what you do is amazing. I feel it's the best way to develop a well-rounded art practice.

Beatrice Rubio-Gabriel, SELF (destruction) Performance MADA Now 2019
Performance externalises the idea of a constantly shifting place of re-presentation, defying the idea of identity as a fixed state of being, as an answer, or a single destination. Here, the act of writing becomes painting, as identity is performed through the constant repetition of drawing my own name over and over, almost at the insistence of the indeterminacy of my own existence.
