Bec Stevens is a Hobart-based visual artist and curator whose work is underpinned by studies in architecture and horticulture. Stevens trained originally in environmental design and from this foundation she makes art installations that draw our attention to the incongruous relationships we maintain with the spaces, sites and structures we occupy.
She has participated in a number of exhibitions, including 'Vigorous everfrost’ at Contemporary Art Spaces Tasmania in 2009, 'Lookout’ at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in 2010, and 'Faster Stronger Greener’ at the Plimsoll Gallery, University of Tasmania, which she co-curated in 2011.
Steven’s practice is site-responsive; she employs photography, drawing, object assemblage and plant matter as a means of engaging with the social and historical nuances of constructed environments. One of her projects involves working directly with the plant inventories maintained at the Garden of Rimbun Dahan in Malaysia, engaging with local residents to build an intimate and idiosyncratic inventory.
