Tracey Clement

Dr Tracey Clement is an artist, arts writer and research-focused Lecturer at Australian Catholic University (ACU). Tracey’s practice features both drawing and sculpture and her works often blur the boundaries between the two genres. For her, making is a way of thinking. In this way, all of Tracey’s work is multi-disciplinary; she relies on the generative synergy of testing ideas through both writing and the hands-on making of artworks. Her practice makes the most of the power of art as a visual communication tool. Her overarching aim is to present the impact of the climate emergency specifically, and an anthropocentric world-view more generally, in a way that beguiles with beauty—in order to foster dialogue and posit strategies for social adaptation—rather than bamboozling audiences with doom-laden facts.
