Born in a Volkswagen Kombi, on the Pacific Highway in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales (Bundjalung), Kepsibel’s creative practice is characterized by a similarly unconventional confluence of material, process and practice.
 

Kepsibel’s work disassembles foundational tenets of contemporary painting practices and investigates the associated symbols and semiotics interwoven into techniques and traditions. Ritualistic studio practice transforms oil paints and canvas into material conduits that engage in ideas relating to intersubjectivity, dialogism, phenomenology, embodied and multimodal communication. This practice of disruption, dissection, and discernment results in works that once reassembled, are representative of a reverence for meaning through making.
 

Kepsibel currently lives and practices between her childhood home of Bali, Indonesia and the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi wurrung and Boon wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation (Naam/Melbourne, Australia). She completed the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at RMIT University and is currently investigating the healing benefits of mountain air.
