TRACY SARROFF’s practice is multidisciplinary and interchangeable working with sculpture, painting, photography, video, drawing, ceramics, installation and public art. Ideas relating to science fiction, science fact and ecology underlie many of her projects. Patterns and forms are sifted from the natural world and recombined, which may stem from basic structural compositions of living things, their growth and transformation. What prevails is an interest in our relationships with ecology and science and the creative boundaries of what is both imaginary and real. Not beholden to these themes and ideas, tangents are also taken that vary conceptually and explore a multitude of material and aesthetic interests.
Sarroff graduated from BA Fine Art (Hons), RMIT University in 2001 and has exhibited nationally and internationally including Sydney Contemporary, ARC ONE Gallery, Melbourne Art Fair, MARS Gallery, Conny Dietzschold Gallery Sydney, James Dorahy Project Space Sydney, Bendigo Art Gallery, The Lock-Up Cultural Centre Newcastle, Departure Gallery London/UK, Shire Hall Gallery, Stafford/UK, Burghley House Sculpture Park/UK and The Bargehouse, London/UK.
She has been a finalist in national art prizes including The Paul Guest Prize, The Sunshine Coast Art Prize, Redland Art Awards and Substation Art Prize. She has also exhibited in artist-run galleries and participated in several artist residencies. Tracy is a past recipient for the Australia Council grant among others. In 2009 she was selected for the Economist Plaza commission by the Contemporary Art Society in central London, in 2010 she completed a commission for Staffordshire’s Arts and Museum Service/UK, and in 2017 she completed an ambitious public art commission ‘Light Buoys’ in Melbourne Docklands for The City of Melbourne and Mirvac.
