Rhys Cousins is a Melbourne-born and based artist who is necessarily transdisciplinary; with formal academic education in landscape architecture, his works range from material investigations, sculpture, place-based installation, and digital screen works. Cousins’ practice has a broad interest in the phenomenology of landscape, and concern with the impacts of capital and consumption on the urban and natural environment, using process as a driving enquiry into artwork with qualities of texture, change, and variation. Through augmenting the qualities of Place, the resulting works are often tactile, emotive, refined and mute – employing saturated colour and hue. Cousins’ works often weaves together familiar methods and techniques in traditional sculpture with the emerging possibilities in digital media and contemporary influences, such as generative art.
