Caitlin Fargher is a multi-disciplinary artist working in sculptural installation and curating. Caitlin is based out of Good Grief Studios in nipaluna/Hobart, and lives near the bush and rivulet in Kingston. Her work is created through an embodied practice that explores histories, sites, ecologies and memories. She collects materials responsibly from the environments that her works are informed by, including clay, flora, recycled objects, and minerals. Her methods of making are informed by gardening and cooking techniques, environmental systems, and family traditions.
She has recently taken part in Art Farm Birch’s Bay’s Perennial Residency program in 2023, Watch this Space ARI's Travelling Artist Program in mparntwe/Alice Springs for a month in 2021, as well as being Artist in Residence at Hadley's Orient Hotel in 2020 which culminated in the installation Sweet Water. Other recent exhibitions include Nematode Dreams with Selena de Carvalho and Julia Drouhin in 2022. She was the Contemporary Art Tasmania Curatorial Mentorship recipient in 2020 with her exhibition re-member. She works as a project manager at Constance ARI, on projects such as ngayapi niyakara (Born to Dream) and as the treasurer of Good Grief Studios. Caitlin studied at UNSW Art & Design, finishing with First Class Honours in Visual Arts in 2017, and in 2022 she begun her Masters of Teaching (Secondary, Arts) at UTAS to further her interest in Art Education.
