Liam Benson<br />

ARTIST STATEMENT<br />

Liam Benson, a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice<br />

incorporates performance, photography, video and<br />

textiles. Benson’s work explores identity and culture as a<br />

living dualistic process which is both informed by and<br />

challenges historical, political, and social consciousness<br />

and the representation of this exchange through<br />

iconography. Liam’s practice is informed by working<br />

collaboratively with diverse communities through an<br />

ongoing conversation about how culture, sub-culture and<br />

identity interrelate and evolve. His works are held in<br />

significant public and private collections including The<br />

MCA Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia, Artbank<br />

and Western Sydney University.<br />
