Work

Through her ceramics, photomontages and assemblages, she explores questions of cultural identity through her own family history,[8] [9] as well as the impact of empire on the Australian landscape.[10] [11] She has been described as combining “a hypnotic storyteller with the backbone of an archaeologist”.[12]

She uses text in her work to create word art, which featured in a 2018 exhibition of word art in the Hugo Mitchell Gallery in Adelaide.[13]

Kneebone was the South Australian recipient of the Qantas Foundation Contemporary Art Travel Award in 2011.[14] [15]

Collections

Kneebone's works are held in the collection of the Art Gallery of South Australia.[1] [16]
