about
Paint, public art, sculpture, textile: materiality is but a vessel for translating the unseen and the in-between. Phoebe Diggle is an emerging artist currently practicing in lutruwita. She studied at UTAS, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2025. During her practice she has exhibited in student galleries and public exhibitions such as Light Up the Lane and ArtRage and Bound X Underground Tapestry. Since graduating, her practice has taken interest in urban and site-based artwork/creative intervention. Phoebe has worked collaboratively on project such as the Wellington Court Mural Project and Glen Dhu Primary School Mural. She is currently developing her public art practice with her involvement in the Building Blocks program. Phoebe often works with symbolic, surrealistic elements to present concepts of the self and the other, investigations frequently informed by her personal history and experience of chronic illness. Her practice utilises a range of mediums and methods to translate the human condition, often working with symbolic, surrealistic elements to present concepts of the self and the other. The ludicrous complexity of her depicted subjects become reflected in compositions that intricately weave, paint or sculpt together inconsequential materials. Nuances between temporary matter and elaborately infinite existence inform the choices in her work, mapping transience upon a tangible canvas or site.
