MEET THE ARTIST: CECELIA MARMONT Orangutan: Mona Cecelia Marmont is an Australia artist born in Bowral, 1982. She studied jewelry making for a time at Sturt, Mittagong in 2002 and then Ceramics at the same institute in 2004. From 2006-2007 She completed a Certificate IV Fine Arts at TAFE, Illawarra Institute, Moss Vale campus. Cecelia participated in “Surface Marcs” the Certificate IV Fine Arts student exhibition 2007. She then spent a short time at the end of 2007 traveling around South East Asia. In 2010, she would then join fellow TAFE students in a group exhibition “Between the Lines” Cecelia is currently exhibiting in the charity exhibition “Project Orangutan” 2014. Taking part in “Project Orangutan” has made me very aware of the mindless choices that we as individuals make, and how those choices on mass, collectively can be catastrophic. By consciously connecting with a cause such as this, I have changed the ingrained, short sighted (or shelf sighted) mindset that I have grown up with which blindly trusts the products we consume. Ignorance my be bliss, but it is also unwittingly damaging. By making informed choices we can help restore balance where needed.
