“The State Museum” is both a project and an institutional alter-ego of artist Louise Dickmann. The State Museum, in collaboration with her mother, seeks to explore WA as a Place through its material residue. The iconography of souvenirs and tourist art offer insight into the State's identity at its most performative. The mass-produced objects and the home-made equally articulate our evolving sense of Statehood, whilst those produced by The State Museum attempt to amplify their very best qualities.
