Gus Mckay

Gus Mckay is a multidisciplinary artist and curator currently living, working and studying in Hobart, Tasmania. His work evolves around the artist at play, often finding themselves/himself in a cycle of never ending experimentation and exploration of materials and ideas. He finds inspiration in multiples of unwanted human detritus, spontaneously interacting with immediate objects, sights and spaces he finds himself in, from festivals, bush land, galleries, alleyways and everything in-between. He enjoys the challenge of making something from nothing in places you might not expect them. Gus is passionate about being a facilitator for other artists, providing opportunities to push his peers beyond their own expectations and fostering positive artistic endeavors in local communities.
