Lives and works in Sydney, NSW, Australia
—
Mason Kimber is a Sydney-based visual artist whose work explores the inbetweenness of architecture and memory. His practice deals with the collision of experienced places—interiors and exteriors connected to personal stories. Applying an archeological approach to painting, Kimber creates reliefs, collages and site-specific installations through which fragments of recollection and history are embedded.
