Eleanor Tracey Cockburn
I am a printmaker who has lived in Hobart, Tasmania for the last 10 years. I recently completed my Master of Fine Art degree at the University of Tasmania School of Art.
The works shown are based on fragments of 19th century crockery uncovered during excavations for a house I built in Hobart and were a result of my recent MFA research project. They were intended to extend the traditional notion of print and create prints as ‘object’ or ‘artefact’.
The MFA body of work dealt with issues of place and displacement through examination of various aspects of a particular site and the recovered artefacts from that site. Ideas of location and relocation have been recurrent throughout my practice and these works continue this investigation and ask us to consider what constitutes our sense of place.
I have exhibited in Hobart, Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne and Mildura in Australia as well as New Zealand and Siberia.
