Bernadette Smith

Artist bio

Bernadette Smith is a cross disciplinary artist working within photomedia, installation and painting to raise awareness of the non-human world and environmental sustainability. She explores the phenomenon of light refractions within water and glass through macro photography. These recorded phenomena are then re-materialised on to fabric and recycled aluminium circles and other objects which transcend the boundaries of the photographic medium. The circle shape has often been used because of its more immersive, organic qualities. Her recent exhibitions include Linton and Kay Gallery, Perth Centre of Photography, Hurstville Museum Gallery, Fishers Ghost Art Award, Canberra Festival of Art, Maitland Regional Art Gallery, Sculpture at Sawmillers, Electrofringe Festival and Sydney College of the Arts Showcase at Verge Gallery.

“I am fascinated by lightwaves interacting with translucent materials and how it expands our perception of matter and form.”
