About the Artist
Ingrid Burkett
Ingrid Burkett is a 3D mixed-media artist who uses art as a tool for understanding and transformation. With a background in graphic design, her work retains a strong graphic quality, blending artistic precision with the craftsmanship of making. Her choice of mediums is rooted in storytelling, evoking empathy, and inspiring action.
Committed to social and ecological justice, Ingrid’s practice fosters deeper dialogue on sustainability and ethical creation. She actively challenges unsustainable production methods, opting for lower-energy firing, repurposed materials, and donating proceeds to habitat rehabilitation initiatives.
Her graphically inspired works explore interspecies relationships, inviting viewers to engage with other sentient beings and reimagine their connections through empathy and mutuality. Drawn to both performative and contemplative mediums, she works across puppetry, masks, craftivist events, and reflective art forms that encourage new ways of seeing, doing, and being.
Ingrid has exhibited widely in community exhibitions, is a regular participant in Art with Altitude (Mt Glorious), and is a founding member of Upatree Arts Cooperative, which focuses on making and performing with giant puppets. She is also a contributor to Range Made, a mobile gallery based in Mt Nebo. Feathers and Fingerprints marks her first solo exhibition.
