FELICITY CAVANOUGH

Artist / sculptor Felicity Cavanough lives and works in Mudgee, NSW Australia. Cavanough holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of New South Wales.

Known for her wire sculptures, a visit to the local scrap and steel yard provides a car full of wonderful materials of both timber and wire varieties, to be transformed into Cavanough's compelling sculptures.

Cavanough’s recent works have followed the turmoil and difficulties faced by women in domestic abuse relationships. Each turn of the wire represents thoughts, feelings and stories of these women on a path of hope toward healing. "I hope to create something beautiful from something so harsh".

Felicity was a finalist on Bluethumb in 2021, Winner of the Indoor Prize at Sculpture on the Farm 2021, Winner of Wellington Sculpture Festival 2020. "It's truly amazing whether you experience grief, joy, loss, love or any other connection with my work because then the lines of wire become enmeshed and entangled with your story just as much as they tell mine". -
