ABOUT
Betty Chamberlain is an artist from Preston, UK, currently travelling Australia. Her practice explores the stories and inherent meanings of found-objects and materials encountered whilst living a nomadic lifestyle. Influenced by patterns and repetition, order and disorder, Chamberlain examines her relationship to common construction materials, such as concrete mesh, scrap metal and scaffold netting. Informed through work on a pearl farm, she uses assemblage to create accumulative sculpture from discarded farming panels. Considering her position as a woman working in predominantly male dominated environments, Chamberlain utilises a combination of typical ‘trade’ methods in conjunction with weaving and wire sculpting.
