I am a Melbourne based visual artist. My practice spans handmade craft-based practices, performance, and photography.  

Personal explorations into emotional states are central to my practice, as are the feminist methodologies of being aware of feeling and listening when making art. Emotions are considered internal, sensory experiences; however, with the body as a mediator, my handmade objects, become an agent for the external expression of these internal feelings.

I work closely with other artists who have similar interested to my own and I am keen to connect to those interested in textiles, craft, abstraction, feminism and collaboration.  You can contact me at karrynargus@gmail.com

I am currently completing a Master of Fine Art by coursework at RMIT. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Art with first class Honours from Monash University Melbourne and a Diploma of Visual Arts from Victoria University. My craft-based skills were taught to me by my mother Marion Waters and my grandmothers Eileen Argus and Mary Dalton. I have worked in Adult Education for over 15 years in Melbourne and Northern NSW.
