Bronwyn Berman
Understanding our relationship with nature requires engagement with our inner 'knowing' of the earth body in ways that acknowledge humans as a part of the interconnected whole. Art, not only as an object but as a practice and a process, is such an engagement.
The work of multi disciplinary artist Dr. Bronwyn Berman seeks to deepen our human connection to the natural world. Her sculpture, public art, landscape installation, drawing, painting and jewellery has appeared in exhibitions and public spaces both in Australia and internationally.
Berman has completed public art commissions NSW and Victoria including works for Penrith Council (2016), Blacktown Council (2013-2016), Frensham School (2013), Penrith Lakes Development (2006-2015), Urban Growth NSW (2015 and 2012), Latrobe Valley Council (2010) and Woollahra Council (2007). She has work on permanent display at the Chris O'Brian Lifehouse in Sydne and in conjunction with her Ph.D, Berman worked with Riverview Developments and the ACT Government to complete the landscape installation titled Circle of Stones in 2021.
Berman’s Ph.D. was conferred in 2022. For her study, she used the conceptual thinking tools of the French Post Structuralist philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari to reimagine the ecovillage movement as an environmental art movement, and ecovillages themselves as works of eco-art. Her research explores the ways in which art, as object, as process and as a practice, functions to orient these communities towards desiring sustainable lifestyles.
Berman is currently based in Robertson in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. Her studio gallery is open to the public. A selection of Berman’s art works and jewellery collection are available on the Artworks and Jewellery for Sale section of this website.
