Kirsten Bradley - CV

Born: 1977 - Kiama, Australia
Lives and works in Windeyer, NSW Australia

Kirsten works across a diverse range of forms and mediums, from interactive new media works to sculpture. Her concerns continue to centre around natural patterning, the environment, and the changing perceptions of public and community space.

Her background in technology-based art has seen her produce large-scale interactive projection works as part of the collective Cicada for Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, Federation Square in Melbourne, and City of Adelaide, to name but a few. More recently, the influence of an ongoing mentorship with celebrated Australian artist Fiona Hall has seen Kirsten’s work start to incorporate elements of object-making and sculpture into her publicly-situated works.
