VCA ART 2022

Shelley Spangler

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Drawing & Printmaking)

My practice engages with recurring motifs and narratives within familiar spaces. I am interested in documenting and examining the cyclical and transient nature of the domestic. My works inhabit moments that are often found on the periphery of our focus, finding the beauty in what becomes a part of our daily rituals. I mainly work with drawing, watercolour, animation, printmaking, and zines. These historical labour-intensive mediums allow me to focus on detail and repetition, and to perform the intimate care that my subject matter deserves.
