David Capra
In 2009, David developed Prophetic Initiatives with artist Leahlani Johnson, which focuses on performance-based projects. In 2008, David was a finalist in the Metro5 Art Award and exhibited in SafARI, a Sydney Biennale fringe-event curated by Lisa Cosri. In 2007, he was a recipient of the arts award distributed by the Region of Piedmont, Italy (Piemontese nel Mondo Award). David has been a Qantas Spirit of Youth Award (SOYA) finalist in 2006 and 2007 judged by Elizabeth Anne McGregor. His work has been featured in What I think about when I think about Dancing (Campbelltown Art Centre) and the first edition of the Locksmith Project.
David Capra's work is influenced by craft practices. Often his work investigates the supernatural, realms of the ecstatic and signs and wonders. The making process has more authority to David than the desire to make an object. He is more concerned with the in-between state and the notion of creating a transcendental experience for those that behold his work.
