Born in Hong Kong in 199, Melanie Gurney graduated with a BA in at Fine Art Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University and was shortlisted for the Signature Art Prize 2014.
Gurney says of her work. “My practice is about process and it’s self-reflective. I work within a range of mediums to allow hybridity. They are installations of physical objects and projections. I’m interested in the surfaces and textures of forms. By pasting and combining onto different objects, the meaning changes and creates a visual excitement.”
