Statement
Ashleigh Hobbs, known by her artist name Arnika (b. Australia), is a multidisciplinary artist and musician working primarily through sound and performance, expanded through self-portraiture and installation. Her practice explores femininity, bodily autonomy, and the ways internalised ideals shape the female body and psyche.
Drawing on personal narrative, her work examines how identity is formed under social expectations of beauty, desirability, and control. Through music, image-making, and sculptural forms, she creates immersive environments that move between seduction and unease.
