EILEEN KUZMIC: Artist Bio and CV

Eileen Kuzmic works predominantly with photomedia practices; which includes working with historical photographic and printing processes. Her work encompasses sculptural, installation and photobook production.

​

Kuzmic's artwork delivers a visual account of humanity through research, personal insight and relationship with her subjects. Kuzmic uses portraiture, photographic typology, archive and the natural landscape to deliver an empathetic insight to the human experience.

​

Current topics that she is working on, aim to unveil intimate aspects of hoarding as a mental health disorder and the effect on family, community and the self. Also investigated is the notion of the artist as collector; this practice is both a parallel and dissimilar notion to hoarding disorder. Her research investigating ‘The Artist as Collector’ and the manifestation of hoarding disorder has powerful resonance for contemporary communities.
