Tucker (b. 2004) is an artist living and working on Gadigal land. As a third-year student at SCA, their practice draws upon the themes of spectatorship, personal superstitions, and commitment, translating the particular images from their mind into sculptural form. Their devotion to the labour of carving premises the affective relationships built between Tucker and their works, cradling each piece fondly with great hesitance to let them live alone. Experimenting in wood, rosin, and metal, Tucker uses their suite of enigmas to mediate intimate dialogues between the microscopic and the universal.
