Tarcis Fenech (b. 1998) is a multi-media artist working from their studio in so-called Maryborough, Victoria. Informally trained in ceramics, they rely on rigorous experimentation to create process-responsive sculptures that retain evidence of the extreme conditions withstood in the kiln: melting, pitting, cracking, joyfully embellishing with glitter and plastic gems to capture the tension of whimsy and melancholy. Fenech’s practice maintains a focus on spirituality and their Maltese-Australian heritage, with their body of work a quantized exploration of fantasy, ritual, and reminiscence.
