Monica Levy

Sydney, Australia. Lives and works in Berlin.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Monica Levy holds a BFA in Sculpture from the National Art School, Sydney, Australia and a BA in Modern History and Social Anthropology from the University of Sydney, Australia.

Since 2012 she has been living and practicing between Berlin and Australia and has exhibited regularly in both countries.

Themes addressed  in her work include immigration, isolation, femininity and border environments within society and the individual.

She expresses her work through invoking an elemental relationship between body, spirit and material to create ethereal and sensitive works.

Reduction is an important tool distilling emotion and imagery where elements are stripped bare of artifice and decoration.
