Selena de Carvahlo

Selena de Carvalho is an inter-disciplinary artist based in Longley Village, Tasmania. Her practice responds to notions of personal ecology and human interaction with the environment, often relating to the perceived consumption of wilderness and lived experiences of wildness, focusing on the core paradox of how we (humanity) yearn for the untamed, and yet in our desire to experience the wild, consciously or unconsciously seek to control it. Technology and creativity are used as a means to raise questions as opposed to providing answers. Selena is the 2016 recipient of the prestigious Shenberg Art Fellowship for her work Ecological Haunts (ii)exhibited as part of Hatched at Perth Institute of Contemporary Art.
