Eva Dixon b. 2000 Waratah, Australia; lives and works in London, United Kingdom. Dixon takes the persona of a 'mad-scientist', investigating materials and subverting their purpose to fit a need within the work. The work takes the form of sheer polyester assemblage stretched over re-constructed stretcher bars.

The geometric forms in Dixon's work are pulled from construction, mirroring the appropriated materials the artist uses such as electrical shrink tubing, paracord and recycled wooden pallets. More recently, Dixon has been working with diamantés, appropriated text as vinyl and found patches. In doing this Dixon blurs the lines between painting, sculpture and craft whilst investigating how the relationship between opacity and transparency can expose the structure and surface as one.

Dixon's use of stable and unstable materials leaves the work in a constant tension, offering a site to question making process, queerness, gender and the binaries between labours.
