Kirsty-Inglis
Bio
​
Kirsty Inglis is an Auckland – based artist who comes from Zimbabwe and Zambia. At the moment she is in the process of finishing her Bachelor of Fine Arts at Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design.
​
Her practice is focused on exploring and pushing how she combines her chosen materials together. Using process-based methods to show the results of chance and intention that she investigates through her work. Kirsty combines and intersects sculpture with painting qualities to present her work.
​
Kirsty’s practice revolves around exploring how chance and intention play against one another in the long run. She has been using minimal materials – which consist mostly of plaster, cardboard, bubble wrap, brown packaging paper and any other packaging materials used – for an extended period of time. By working with them for this long it challenges the reliability of chance procedures because having this much tacit knowledge about them diminishes the chance of the results being unexpected each time.
Looking into the nature of the materials she uses, has her examining their strengths and interesting results that occur. Instead of just using the materials she has a system of give and take with them. She looks for the little exciting unforeseen sections that come into existence, the transitions and reactions between them and tries to document and bring them to the foreground.
