Becc Ország was awarded The Young and Emerging Artist Award of $5000 in the Hazelhurst Art on Paper Prize. Her winning entry ‘Rehearsal for all are equal and all may be crowned emperor’ plays with the phenomenon of non-existence, distraction and escapism. She looks at our inherent need to be lead and belong, and brings attention to our tendency to deflect responsibility and blur lines between reality and fantasy in an effort to bring meaning into life.
