Bridget Baskerville

Bridget Baskerville is an early career artist, based in Canberra on Ngunawal Ngambri Country. Through the themes of history, time and ecology, Baskerville’s work examines human impact on place and the relationship between community, extractive industries and water. Her practice is informed by her experience of growing up in a mining family in Kandos on Dabee Wiradjuri Country in rural NSW. Baskerville has recently completed a residency with ZK/U (Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik) in Berlin, Germany as well as a commissioned site-specific installation for The Unconformity Festival in Queenstown Lutruwita/Tasmania. Her previous exhibitions include ‘Conduit’ at Goulburn Regional Gallery, ‘expand, contract, expand again’ at the Print Council of Australia, and ‘With Nature’ at Canberra Contemporary. Baskerville has a Bachelor of Visual Arts with First Class Honours (2022) from the Australian National University School of Art and Design.
