Kristin McIver is an Australian artist whose multi-disciplinary practice includes sculpture, painting and installation. Utilising materials such as neon, acrylic and hyper-glossy paint, McIver’s works explore the themes of desire, aspiration and consumerism in the 21st century.
Since completing her Master of Visual Art at Victorian College of the Arts, McIver’s work has been selected as finalist in a number of awards including the Montalto Sculpture Prize and City of Whyalla Art Prize. In 2009, McIver’s work Room To Breathe II was the recipient of the Elliot Family Ten Year Collection Award.
