TRACY LUFF
Tracy Luff commenced her arts career in the late 1990s studying at the Hunter Institute of TAFE and gaining an Advanced Diploma in Fine Arts; and later gaining a Bachelor of Visual Arts with Honours from the Australian National University. She is known for her amazing two and three-dimensional artworks created from fluted cardboard using the cut edges to create texture and form. The evolution of her technical expertise in working with this sculptural medium has been enriched by a fine sense of aesthetic and of conceptual investigation. Conceptually, and aesthetically, her work is grounded in her Chinese Malaysian heritage and her life in regional Australia.

"I use recycled fluted cardboard, which has been discarded by retailers to create organic, textured, and fluid art forms. I am fascinated by its structure and variety of effects I can achieve through cutting it at various angles and layering the cut pieces. My work entices viewers to look below and beyond the surface as the medium is transformed from the ordinary to the extraordinary; from the mundane to the beautiful. Conceptually, it invites a change of superficial perception: a new way of seeing and understanding the commonplace; in so doing, it seeks a reconsideration of superficial perceptions of the natural environment."
