Melissa Newbery Welcome’s Practice often explores the human experience as an individual within a collective through public interventions exploring the accessibility of art amongst humans. Their work has been used to communicate and articulate, Often highlighting and tackling issues through proactivity.
Melissa displays multimedia pieces of work to be ‘experienced’ by the viewer within site-specific installations. Melissa often takes aspects of their childhood growing up and experiences of multiculturalism in their work, looking at the past, present and future implications of globalisation and rippling effects of the industrial and colonial.
