Stephen Baxter

I was born in Sydney, Australia in the 60's,. I am a multi media artist, living and working on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
I deploy the strategy known as Bricolage while developing artworks. I like to recycle and reinvent found objects and images made, or collected. The resultant artworks are a serendipitous, handmade, eclectic mixture, influenced by my immediate environment and popular culture. I try to recycle everything. I am about challenging what is traditionally accepted as the norm. Ongoing experimentation is essential. Nothing is set in stone. Change is constant.
