Artists

Skye Wagner is an artist and educator living and working on the unceded lands of the Gadigal and Bidjigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney).

Her practice predominantly employs photomedia and assemblage to disrupt the legibility of the photographic image and its depicted subjects. Wagner has exhibited across Australia and internationally, including recently at the Museum of Australian Photography, Murray Art Museum Albury, UNSW Galleries, Home of the Arts, and the British School at Rome, where she was the National Art School’s 2022 research resident. She has a Master of Fine Art (Research) from UNSW (2020), a BA (Fine Arts) from the National Art School (2012) and a BA (Media and Cultural Studies) from Macquarie University (2002). She is a current PhD candidate in the School of Art and Design at UNSW and has taught at Sydney universities, including UNSW Art and Design, UTS, and the National Art School.

In Residence at Bundanon

I will use the dedicated time and space at Bundanon to conceptualise the final artwork component of my PhD research project. By the time of my Bundanon residency, I will have completed the production phase and will use the time away to take stock of the image-based artworks I have produced, and model potential installation configurations. This concentrated period will help me refine my exhibition plan for 2027.
