Artist Booth Talk: Stephen Bird, ‘Looping States of Mind’

Stephen Bird (born 1964, Stoke-on-Trent, UK) is a British-born Australian artist whose practice spans ceramics, sculpture, painting & drawing. Living & working in Byron Bay since 1999, Bird has developed a distinct visual language that combines storytelling, satire, & social observation. Join Bird for a talk about his new body of ceramic works, A Looping State of Mind, which explores the subtle entanglements between environment, place, & human experience. The works present layered narratives, dualities, and paradoxes that reflect ecological change & social tensions, inviting viewers to consider how stories, histories, & landscapes intersect. Drawing on observation, materiality, & lived experience, the exhibition traces how memory, history, & narrative persist in both land & community.
