Edith Perrenot (she/her) is an artist of visual and performing art based in Hobart/nipaluna. Making is a core of Edith's works. Her interdisciplinary practice focuses on creating emotional and interactive environments. She creates "universes", "unique cosmologies", with a visual vocabulary inscribed in pop and naïve representation.

Describing her practice as process-based, she is interested in elements perceived as "common ground", representation and heritages, talking symbolically to the many and shaping shared "sensitive cultural landscapes".

She departs from finding out what has the potential of uniting, not dividing us.

Edith's creations have a distinctive aesthetic and are conceptually "layered". She likes to tackle bigger subjects and/or purposes of the art by taking a free spirited angle approach, deliberately focusing on senses of hope, humour and joy.

Originally from France and now based in Australia her works have been shown internationally and are part private and public collections in Australia and Europe
