Transmutation 1

Do you see an ethereal landscape from the future? Or a landscape where urban intersects with a reinterpretation of the digital realm?

In this process-driven series Sioux reclaims paint skins from her mural practice which have undergone a careful conservation process.

Exploiting combinations and states of substances, earthen originations converted to liquid forms undergo further transformation of state.

Eliminating preconceived constraints and expectations, a process of deconstruction and rejuvenation emerges. Residual paint metamorphoses into palpable skins, and once integrated with liquid forms, generates exciting new formations.

By contextually reassigning the paint, the work locates itself within the intersections of painting and sculptural aesthetics. This process allows Sioux to explore the integrations between her studio, mural and sculpture practices.

The concept aims to promote resource conservation and exceed conventional notions of material recycling.

'SIOUX TEMPESTT is fast becoming a local Perth icon for her large scale rhythmic and highly recognisable public artwork which adorns some of the most notable spaces in Perth, integrating the built form and natural environment through thought provoking design.'

Transcending creative disciplines Sioux Tempestt creates abstract, mural, sculptural and digital art. Traversing across different mediums and scale of works enables Sioux to push creative boundaries. Through materiality and physicality, her expressive abstractions intuitively fuse colour and form. Her work aims to create a narrative and connection as Sioux believes art plays an intrinsic contribution to our wellbeing, health, and happiness.

Sioux’s studio-based practice explores paint and mixed media works on canvas and board; digital and photographic compositions; poetry and writing; video; sound and music. Working across other mediums such as metal, acrylic, wood and recycled materials Sioux creates 3D permanent and ephemeral sculptural public artworks. Large scale murals also form part of Sioux’s practice with over 50 painted throughout Perth.

Sioux has delivered 11 solo exhibitions and exhibited in numerous group shows. Recent achievements include Finalist, Mid West Art Prize 2023; Finalist, Town of Claremont Art Prize 2023; and Finalist, City of Stirling Art Award 2023.
