ABOUT THE ARTIST

Siân Boucherd was born in rural Western Australia in 1983. Following the completion of her Art and Design Degree in 2007, Boucherd pursued a curatorial practice in London. During this period she worked within gallery contexts as well as site specifically in the natural environment. A return to Australia in 2012 saw her return to the studio where Boucherds’ interest in nature manifest in her woven works. Through the use of natural fibres such as sisal, jute and wool Boucherd creates meticulously hand crafted vessels by way of a coiling basketry technique. Currently making Perth home Boucherd takes her cues from natures architecture; formations such as pods, nests, cocoons and the unique striations that make up Western Australias’ ancient geology.
