Artist Statement
Bianca Tainsh is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Melbourne, Australia. Her practice consists of social investigations informed through vigorous research. An analytical approach to process results in works that are highly considered and enriched by imagery and concepts from a diversity of sources.
Bianca’s creative explorations reflect particularly on the
implications of contemporary life and examine commodification,
technology and the environment, whilst balancing these
investigations with the consideration of the human need for
spirituality, inclusion and the quest for self. Many of Bianca’s
projects discount conventional expectations of artistic practice in
their function, and often in their intent to elicit public action
and involvement.
