Rebecca Delange

Artist Statement
Rebecca Delange is a Melbourne based artist who has recently completed Honours in Fine Art Drawing at the Victorian College of the Arts. Rebecca Delange explores ideas relating to mutation, repetition, destruction, construction, life and death in her art practice. Central to the work is a search for finding materials, actions and process that physically articulate hidden and immaterial things such as fears, desires, thoughts and secrets. She is interested in exploring what sort of forms would these things take on and how would they behave if they existed tangibly in our reality. Her arts practice engages in a dialogue between controlled making and uncontrolled action. Currently the work takes the form of spatially responsive assemblages and installations made from materials such as plasticine, paint, clay, dirt, and lollies. She considers her installation work to be a continuous project that exists in a state of flux never finding a permanently still place of rest or definitive answer and resolution. Rebecca participated in the recent VCA 2008 Graduation show and group exhibition Hyper-Realities at Seventh Gallery. She has had a number of solo exhibitions and was the Winner of the 2008 Wangaratta Sculpture Biennale Ephemeral Prize and was shortlisted for the RMIT Siemens Prize 2007.
