indigo eli is an award-winning independent artist living on Kaurna land, Adelaide, South Australia. She is intrigued by the personal and universal, by what we discard and what we hold dear. Feel-good achievements include performing in the same Sydney Opera House as Billy Connolly and having her hard rubbish pile picked up by the news.
A multi-form poet, her work plays and shifts across artforms. With curiosity (and a love of birds), indigo pulls apart pigeonholes … asking: what box? why box?
