Artist Session: Mason Kimber

Learn about contemporary sculptural practices from Sydney-based artist Mason Kimber.

Drawing from close observations of the built environment, Kimber uses a variety of sculptural and painterly techniques to capture the history of different urban surfaces.

In this Artist Session, Kimber will take participants through his process, guiding a series of practical exercises involving moulding and casting.

Mason Kimber’s practice encompasses painting, sculptural reliefs, collage and installation. His work engages with the social dimension of architecture, in particular its relationship to memory. By reworking images and casts of architectural fragments into new compositions, Kimber explores the way physical facades and interiors become triggers – and also vessels – for feelings and recollections.
