About the Artist

Tanya Maxwell

Tanya Maxwell‘s background is in physical theatre and textiles. However her work is primarily focussed on a vocation of over 14 years, working with young people in the hospital environment as a Clown Doctor. This work is entirely improvised and invites each child to direct and collaborate in an encounter of play which is essentially empowering and therapeutic to that child.

Tanya has experience teaching in projects across circus, clown, performance and 3D making in towns and remote communities in NT, SA , WA and Tasmania.

This focus brings the same playful approach to her visual art practice of furniture, costume and sculptural making. Using salvaged wood, fibre and sometimes metal, her work is largely informed by nature and improvising with what is at hand.

Recently Tanya has been collaborating and delivering natural fibre puppet making encounters for young families on a project with ArTELIER and Salamanca Arts Centre.
