Fergus Berney-Gibson

Fergus Berney-Gibson

Fergus Berney-Gibson is an artist based on Gadigal land whose practice explores fraternal historiography through the re-contextualisation of found textile and photographic archives. Through contemporary print-media and gendered craft techniques, he reinterprets narrative forms like bildungsroman, scripture and folklore. He questions how history is made and how it can be re-made to prioritise connection and lived experience, rather than illusory grand narratives. He has completed his Master of Fine Art, specialising in Printmaking. Previous education includes a BFA in Printmaking (NAS, 2020) and a Graduate Certificate in Art Curation (USYD, 2022).
