Kirsten Bradley: artist profile

Collingwood Weave 2006 - animation still from stop-motion animation. Fence, grass.

Born: 1977 - Kiama, NSW, Australia

Kirsten’s work deals primarily with landscapes - urban, natural, sonic, constructed and imagined. Her current interests are centered in sociological histories of the landscape, and the murky waters between the organic and simulated within our perceptions of nature and wilderness.

Kirsten has exhibited widely across Australia as part of Cicada, a collection of artists including Nick Ritar and Ben Frost. Highlights have included site specific projects such as Resquared for Primavera 2003, Amensal for the City of Adelaide Luminosity Commissions in 2004, MOB for the Meat Market in 2006, and most recently Litter for the Govett-Brewster in 2007. These days Kirsten is working in a mostly solo capacity, collaborating with other artists on a project by project basis.

She lives on the ridgeline of the Great Dividing Range, Australia at a place called Milkwood. But she gets around a fair bit too.
