Jack Wansbrough’s practice centres on sculpture and the archive. Processing archival material through replica, collage and play, his work is grounded in the idea that re-enactment is a kind of learning. Found objects, texts and structures provide limits as well as permission. His work reflects an appetite for banality and excess and often draws out the expressive within the inexpressive.
Wansbrough often works collaboratively, integrating elements of music and performance. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from Curtin University and has completed residencies at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow, Scotland and Goolugatup Heathcote, Boorloo/Perth. Wansbrough has presented solo and collaborative projects in a variety of artist-run spaces and galleries, including Cool Change Contemporary, Boorloo/Perth; KINGS Artist-Run, Naarm/Melbourne; FeltSpace, Tarntanya/Adelaide; Old Customs House, Walyalup/Fremantle; Pig Melon Gallery, Boorloo/Perth; Audible Edge Festival, Boorloo/Perth; Success Arts, Walyalup/Fremantle; and Private Island, Boorloo/Perth.
