About the artist:
Amy Perejuan-Capone works between Fremantle, the Perth hills, and international residencies. With a background in art and design, Perejuan-Capone’s practice is underpinned by an enquiry into the systems of exchange that are present through the acquisition and application of craft. Across broad mediums including ceramics, textiles and metalworks, she seeks to understand objects, materials and the networks of social and cultural agency held within them. In recent years Perejuan-Capone has collaborated with her father to investigate their multi-generational connection to aviation.
Perejuan-Capone is the recipient of numerous residencies, including Asialink Taipei/Fremantle Exchange, Taiwan (2020); Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Centre, Shigaraki, Japan (2019); and Upernavik Museum, Greenland (2017).
Recent solo exhibitions and commissions include Sky Cave for the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, Don’t Stare at the Sun/for Too Long, PS Art Space, Fremantle (2019); This is How We Walk on the Moon, Artsource Old Customs House, Fremantle (2018); and One Word for Snow, TRANSART temporary public art program, City of Perth (2017).

Welcome to the wonderfully whacky world of Know Thy Neighbour #3 artist Amy Perejuan-Capone, and her community-informed interpretation of the City of Melville! Drawing from her own love of dogs and experience as a dog-mum, Amy started her residency acutely aware of the strong bonds between humans and dogs.
On Wednesday 22 March and Thursday 23 March we have two public program events to add depth and context to the currently installed Know Thy Neighbour #3 exhibition at Cullity Gallery.
The Know Thy Neighbour #3 exhibition catalogue is intended to be read as a companion piece to the works on show at Cullity Gallery until 25 March 2023.

Come along to this fun workshop with artist Amy Perejuan-Capone and draw a map of the journeys you make with your dog when you go walkies. The map can be realistic or fantastical, your local streets and parks, or to the moon! Where does your dog stop and sniff? Do they pull you in a particular direction? Where would you take your dog if you could go anywhere?
