About the Artist Savi Ross (they/them) is an African American, Torres Strait Islander illustrator based in Narrm Melbourne. As a queer, non-binary artist, their work celebrates the joy, relationships, and identities of queer people of colour. Savi’s illustrations often feature intimate scenes, playful colour, and, most importantly, people of colour loving themselves, each other, and their bodies. About the Artwork I’ve been dreaming about my grandparents old house since they sold it in 2020. At least once a week. This illustration was made as part of a zine about my recurring dreams; usually old places I’ve been, maze shopping malls, the mountains, sometimes even looking to a possible future. This illustration has been printed four times; this one, one for my grandparents, and one for me to keep. I’m wondering if it’ll be strange to send the last copy to the house’s current owners, a teacher couple who my grandma assures me are very nice. The wife uses my grandma’s old pottery room as her own art studio now. Maybe they’ll love my drawing, won’t find it strange at all. Maybe they’ll write me into their will. Maybe I’ll buy the house back. Maybe I’ll wake up one day and the house will be the same; grandma harvesting her cherry tomato bush, trying to keep the turkeys away; grandad walking through the overgrown backyard rainforest to buy his newspaper every morning, then miraculously finding another renovation job around the house; and me there, too. … I’ll send the print I think. They might like it, just like me.
