Biography

Kylie Lydia Blackley

Kylie Blackley is a Naarm / Melbourne based artist who works predominantly with ink on paper. She recently returned to drawing and painting, from copper plate etching, and is continuing her experimentation with the materiality of paper, water-based binders and pigments. Blackley’s works layer traces of actions, mirroring the concepts of duration, narrative and history. Her interests in observation and portrayal are apparent in the rendering of the subjects, light sources and their shadows. Since studying Printmaking at the Victorian College of the Arts, Blackley has worked as a technician, curator, tutor and editioning printmaker, contributing to publications, public art projects, community art programs and tertiary education, while continuing her own art practice, exhibiting in Australia, Japan and Eastern Europe.
