‘Stale Kale’ is a side project by Olivia Tartaglia, a Perth artist working primarily in paint, pen and pencil, whose works draw inspiration from a multitude of fantastical realms, paying homage 70s scifi concept art, classic biological illustrations and fledgling animated cinema. Much of their work explores the relationships between the Embryos and Sea Slugs, extraterrestrial creations penned in an experimentation and exploration of xenobiological identity. Olivia is currently working on new concepts within the mediums of sculpture, textiles and installation/performative works.
