Biography
Kasia Lynch is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Melbourne Australia producing fetishised and spiritualised sculpture, photography and experiential spatial works. Her works are often a careful balance between form, materiality and space with a desire to affect atmosphere. Kasia makes art that is sometimes dramatic and humorous and at other times subtle and poetic. Combining craft making techniques such as beading, hand sewing and upholstering with workshop fabrications techniques including woodwork or metalwork, Kasia creates situations in her art where the outcome employs the visual language of one thing to speak of something else entirely. At the fore of her creative concern as an artist is a desire to tap into the 'hidden energy' of things; to engage objects, bodies and space in a way that invites new meaning and infinite potential.
Kasia graduated from RMIT University Melbourne in 2013 with a Master of Arts Research and in the same year was a shortlisted finalist for The Linden Art Prize. In 2014 she received funding from The ACF to present an ambitious public art project 'Mediumistic: experiential sound and sculpture walk', that saw her work with psychic mediums in response to the space and atmosphere of Melbourne's iconic Abbotsford Convent. In 2015 she was commissioned to create a site responsive installation for Nati Frinj Biennale.
