An EconoTimes perspective

Tracey Clement

Lecturer in Visual Art and McGlade Gallery Director, Australian Catholic University

Lecturer in Visual Art and McGlade Gallery Director, Australian Catholic University Dr Tracey Clement is an artist, arts writer and research-focused Lecturer at Australian Catholic University (ACU). Tracey’s practice features both drawing and sculpture and her works often blur the boundaries between the two genres. For her, making is a way of thinking. In this way, all of Tracey’s work is multi-disciplinary; she relies on the generative synergy of testing ideas through both writing and the hands-on making of artworks. Her practice makes the most of the power of art as a visual communication tool. Her overarching aim is to present the impact of the climate emergency specifically, and an anthropocentric world-view more generally, in a way that beguiles with beauty—in order to foster dialogue and posit strategies for social adaptation—rather than bamboozling audiences with doom-laden facts.
