Edith PERRENOT

Edith Perrenot is an artist of visual and performing art based in Hobart/nipaluna. 

She/her holds a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honors) from the “Haute école des arts du Rhin (HEAR)”, France, 2010.

Her practice is interdisciplinary and focuses on creating emotional and interactive environments. Sculpture, painting, installation, text, video and sound can co-exist, to create "universes", unique cosmologies. Describing her practice as process-based, she actively unfolds elements perceived as “common ground”; rules, representation and heritages, talking symbolically to the many and shaping our “sensitive cultural landscapes”. She departs from finding out what has the potential of uniting, not dividing us. 

Edith’s creations are working in layers, tackling bigger subjects and/or purposes of the art, often taking a free spirited angle approach, deliberately focusing on senses of hope, humor and absurdism. 

Edith has delivered public works for major Tasmanian institutions like the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Terrapin Theater and the Glenorchy Council. Her work is also part of national and international private collections. 

Edith performs and sings in the improvisational band Philomath. She also creates shows crossing paths between art and variety with various musicians for events like Mona Foma, Faro experiments, Hobiennaly and the upcoming 2022 Clarence Jazz Festival. 

She is currently developing a theatrical show with her collaborative work Les Petites Annonce® supported by Tasmania Performs and is one of the selected artists working on the Ability to Create - a Sensory exhibition, for 2022 with the City of Hobart and all ability artists organisations.
