Damien Melchiori
Master of Fine Art
My practice is informed by a longstanding interest in productive tensions produced through opposing forces—such as noise and silence, order and disorder, or authorship and originality. These tensions are not understood as simple binaries or dichotomies but rather as complex, multifaceted and multidirectional forces in the broader cultural landscape. In considering opposing forces as integrated parts of ongoing cycles of change, my practice seeks to identify moments of rupture caused by conflict and excess that implicate a sense of uncertainty.
