Kepsibel

Kepsibel’s creative practice is characterised by a repetitive and ritualistic engagement with the material world.

• Unbound by a commitment to conventional materials, she develops idiosyncratic processes that evolve through time and surface. Her paintings, sculptures, and installations are confessional in nature, imbued with a sense of chaos and urgency as she seeks to align her internal world with her perception of the external. Sensation is transmuted into the tangible.
• The development of a sophisticated visual language through light and colour has defined her most recent studio practice. Balancing both methodological and intuitive approaches to the curation of limited colour palettes, Kepsibel’s work reflects an embrace of freedom and restraint as parallel opportunities for expansion through multidisciplinary creative production. Spatial negotiation and embodied practice are central to her process—she can often be found sprawled across the studio floor with brushes and canvas at the ready for intensive mark-making sessions, or devising innovative site-responsive installations that reflect her engagement with Expanded Painting and Abstract Expressionism. The act of concealing and revealing through mark-making is realised through painting, photography, installation, and projection.

“I respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land I live, the people of the Kulin Nations. I pay my respect to their Elders, past and present. I acknowledge and uphold their continuing relationship to this land and honour the oldest living people’s rich tradition of story telling through the work I create on land that was stolen from them. I recognize their resilience in the face of continued discrimination and am committed to listening, uplifting and supporting their voices. This work was created on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi wurrung and Boon wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal land.”
