Alexandra Peters' practice spans the mediums of painting, print, sculpture, and assemblage, often
taking the form of an installation. These arrangements explore the field of expanded painting
through the interrogation of support structures and framing devices. This process guides and
restricts how the viewer is subsumed within a currency divided between the two-dimensionality of
pictorial space and the three-dimensionality of sculpture.
Peters completed a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) at Monash University, Melbourne in 2022,
where she was the recipient of the Monash University Museum of Art Award and the Megalo Print
Award. She has undertaken several residencies including Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts,
