Bec Stevens is a Hobart based visual artist and curator whose work is underpinned by studies in architecture and horticulture. 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.
Exhibitions include: 'Vigorous everfrost’ at Contemporary Art Spaces Tasmania (2009); 'Faster Stronger Greener’ at the Plimsoll Gallery, University of Tasmania, which she co-curated (2011); and LOOKOUT at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (2010).
Her practice is site-responsive; using photography, drawing, object assemblage and plant matter as a means of engaging with the social and historical nuances of constructed environments. She intends to work directly with the plant inventories maintained at the Garden of Rimbun Dahan in Malaysia and engage with local residents, to build an intimate and idiosyncratic inventory during her time there.
