Kirsty Macafee graduated from RMIT University with a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) majoring in Print Imaging Practice.

Her current practice is multi disciplinary and process based. It is informed by an expanded and deconstructed view of photographic print practice. Her recent projects have employed photographic fundamentals of time (or duration), space and light to create works which are at once photographic and not. Where the ‘outcome’ of her recent works has been a perceptual shift from the surface of things to their structure.

As an artist in residence at the ATW, Kirsty proposed to continue her structural investigations, whereby she explored the visual and spatial support structures both within a woven work and within the building. Her work engaged primarily with the structures essential to the way in which a tapestry is formed and will ultimately be realized but rendered invisible at the moment of reception.
