Artist statement

‘Miss You’ is about pride and reconnection coming out of the Melbourne lockdowns. It reflects on how we have missed the relationships and humans in our lives, and how we have relied on technology to build connections during the COVID-19 health crisis.

I hope an LGBTIQA+ person finds this image, and it feels like it is a space and an image created for them, inspiring happiness and connection and reflecting the diversity of the Melbourne we love.

About the artist

Jacq Moon is a proudly queer artist and designer living and working on Wurundjeri Country. Being a queer designer, for Jacq, is as much a way of creating, as it is an identity. Her images of pride and connection set out to embrace the diverse lived experience of the people around her.
