Biography

Rebecca Selleck is a Canberra-based artist with a focus on sculpture and interactive
installation, blending furniture, casting, assemblage, soft sculpture and animatronics. She
completed her Bachelor of Visual Arts at the ANU School of Art with First Class Honours,
majoring in Sculpture and Art Theory, and also holds a Bachelor of Communications, majoring
in Creative Writing and Literary Studies. She uses her practice to reciprocally investigate and
challenge her own perceptions within a culture of conflicting truths. Her work overlays time and
place to express the need for human accountability and the painful complexities of animal and
environmental ethics in Australia.
Rebecca is the recipient of multiple awards, including the prestigious Peter and Lena Karmel
Anniversary Prize for best graduating student at the ANU School of Art, 2023 Lake Light
Sculpture Major Prize, and the 2023 CAPO Robert Foster Memorial Award. She has exhibited
across Australia and internationally. She was a finalist in the inaugural 2017 Ramsay Art Prize at
the Art Gallery of South Australia and in 2018 the Arte Laguna Prize in Venice, Italy; the
Macquarie Art Prize; the Ravenswood Art Prize (Highly Commended); and the Churchie Art Prize.
She participated in the 2022 Adelaide Biennial at the Art Gallery of South Australia and toured
nationally in the Experimenta: Lifeforms - International Triennial of Media Art. Her work is held in
public collections including the Art Gallery of South Australia, Art Gallery of New South
Wales, Museum of Australian Democracy, Western Plains Cultural Centre, Bendigo Art Gallery,
and Shepparton Art Museum.
