Born: 1977 - Kiama, NSW, AustraliaKirsten Bradley’s work deals primarily with landscapes - urban, natural, sonic, constructed and imagined. Her current interests are centred in sociological histories of the landscape, and the murky waters between the organic and simulated within our perceptions of nature and wilderness.Working primarily as one-third of artist collective Cicada she has exhibited extensively throughout Australia and a little bit overseas including projects at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, and the Govett-Brewster, Aotearoa New Zealand. She has recently returned from being artist-in-residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Alberta, Canada. http://thejunefox.com
