Rebecca Selleck’s practice comprises sculpture and interactive installation, blending furniture, casting, assemblage, soft sculpture and animatronics. Investigating and challenging personal perceptions within a culture of conflicting truths, her work overlays time and place to express the need for human accountability and the complexities of animal and environmental ethics in Australia.
Combining curved stainless steel furniture with intricate bronze work, blown glass, living plants and bodily upholsteries, this installation continues Selleck’s creation of dissonant spaces that explore our increasing destruction of natural environments and the inherent hypocrisies of being human.
