Artist Bio:
Camille Serisier is an interdisciplinary artist based in Brisbane, Australia. Through her practice Camille investigates the distanced relationship of humans to the natural environment. Using eco-feminist theories of critique, she deconstructs forms of Australian culture to explore ideas of narrative construction and interpretation. Camille merges these deconstructed fragments in a fictitious way to create unreal and fantastic works that depart dramatically from their original context. Camille was born in Wollongong, Australia in 1982. She received a Bachelor of Fine Art with First Class Honours from the Australian National University, where she was a National Undergraduate Scholarship holder for the entirety of her degree. In 2001 Camille received the Vera List New York Studio School Scholarship for a semester of study in New York City. She undertook additional training as a scenic painter at Scenic Studios in Melbourne and Opera Australia in Sydney. Camille has been an artist in residence in Canterbury in Britain, the Bundanon Trust in New South Wales and at Laughing Waters in Victoria. She has been awarded numerous grants and prizes, including the Neil Roberts Sculpture Prize, the NAVA Australian Artist Grant and the Arts Queensland Career Development Grant.
