About the Makers:
Rebecca Selleck and James Tylor use their practices to illuminate issues around the continuing cultural and environmental impacts of colonisation in Australia, referencing their subjective experiences to create multi-layered installation, sculptural and photographic works. Rebecca’s use of domestic furniture as a device to physically engage viewers tied perfectly with James’ background in carpentry and carving, as well as with their desire to create work that captures their contemporary experiences against the backdrop of Australian history which helped inform it. They use their collaborative practice to explore their colonial, Indigenous and new immigrant histories through furniture making, bronze casting and photography, reflecting on the impact of colonisation on their experience with the environment and contemporary Australian culture.
Available for shipment or collection from 7 July 2022.
