Biography
Dominique Sutton is an internationally recognised multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, installation, text and public art. A graduate of Liverpool John Moores University and San Francisco Art Institute, her work explores the relationship between the body, language, memory and landscape. Her major commissions and exhibitions reflect a sustained engagement with scale, gesture and the human condition.
Working across both monumental public commissions and intimate studio-based practice, Sutton’s sculptures investigate themes of identity, belonging, duality and human experience. Central to her practice is the use of text, poetry and symbolic language embedded within sculptural form to create works that communicate emotionally and experientially with audiences.
Her major commissions include Water/Sky for Kai Tak Sports Park, three monumental figures for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, the Australian Railway Memorial in Werris Creek, and Taiji for the Taiwanese Government Cultural Centre.
Alongside her established public art practice, Sutton is currently developing a new body of figurative marble works exploring contemporary female identity through self-portraiture, language and material memory. Her recent research-led practice incorporates drawing, poetry and clay studies alongside sculpture.
Her work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in public and private collections worldwide. Sutton also lectures and mentors extensively through universities, galleries and independent programs.
With over two decades of professional experience, Dominique has produced major public works, private commissions and site-specific installations across Australia and internationally.
Her work is held in both private and public collections.
