There are many words that could describe the practice of Australian artist Perdita Phillips. Her media include sculpture, drawings and installation. She takes photographs and has recently become interested in sound and short videos. Whilst materially diverse, underlying themes of ecological processes, and a commitment to a resensitisation to the physical environment, are apparent.

The experiences of the creator and the viewer are a key to understanding Perdita's art. Working with objects, environments, found things and made things, Perdy creates a world where everyday entities and events are brought out of their invisibility. She extends an invitation to immerse yourself in a richer reality overflowing with humour and wonder.
