Back in November last year we gave local artists the opportunity to showcase their work to the masses through a projection installation at the Beck’s Festival Bar during Sydney Festival 2010.

The standard of entries was extremely high and deciding on the final winners was an unenviable task. An eclectic mix of styles and varied interpretations were chosen to create an awesome light projection onto the historic Hyde Park Barracks (see above).

I recently had the pleasure of catching up with KissKiss, one of the chosen artists and asked her where her inspirations came from and what she’s been up to since.

Taken from her own blog Kisskiss describes herself as being inspired by “Rock ‘n Roll, ancient artifacts, sexy dreams, wild animals, urban mythology, and the NY/LA/UK/Portland underground art movements”.

Her images, sculptures and art-toys convey a love of beauty, voodoo and destruction in a wild world. Skulls, skeletons and mythical half human half beasts play in the voodoo–rock jungle.

Installations and artworks created by KissKiss have been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, MTV Gallery, Urban Uprising, National Grid, The Opera House, China Heights, Retrospect, Gaffa, Gallery 44, Blank Space, as well as within arts festivals and art-rock nights like Great Escapes, Playground Weekender and Splendour in the Grass.

Recently KissKiss has moved into the world of Rock’n’Roll as lead singer of ‘KissKiss & Tell’, an R’n’B/Disco group who are featuring this Saturday @ The Den.
