Born: 1971 Brisbane QLD

Ben is based in Brisbane, however, after growing up in Western Queensland, he still considers himself a ‘country person’. The several years he spent living in the Northern Territory strengthened Ben’s childhood connection to the Australian landscape and its inhabitants. He reuses found materials meaningful to Australian cultural heritage – such as weathered corrugated iron, old hardwood fence posts, tin and old chemical drums – to create sculptural works inspired by native Australian wildlife. Ben’s assemblage-style sculpture was first exhibited in Darwin in 1997. As well as his ongoing exhibitions, Ben specialises in on-site commissions. His works are held in a number of private collections nationally.
