Statement
Sherry Paddon combines photography with sculpture and installation. She is inspired by found objects, the sense of belonging to possessions and its effect on self-image and status. Through found objects, she explores themes such as memory, cultural heritage and overconsumption. She elevates common objects to become reminders of the commercialised reality.
Sherry Paddon is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Perth, Western Australia. She grew up in country WA in the South Hedland area (Ngarda Ngarli Yarndu) and Mid West (Yamaji Country). She completed a Bachelor of Arts (majoring in Sculpture) at Curtin University in 2003, followed by postgraduate studies in art curatorial studies and secondary education. Her work has been seen in solo and group exhibitions around Australia and recently in the Philippines and the United States of America.
