Ebony Maurice-Wilmott is a Melbourne based emerging artist whose work uses the formal language of abstraction to investigate distinctions between the hand-made and manufactured object. With a focus on the act of making according to pre-determined rules, she uses found materials both industrial and domestic, to create work. Maurice-Wilmott’s process is repetitive and systematic. Chance and form play a key role in her exploration of how small changes can generate variable work.
Maurice-Wilmott has recently graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) from Monash University in 2024, where she was awarded the Monash University Museum of Art Award and the Firestation printmaker’s residency and studio. In 2022, she graduated from the Queensland College of Art where she was awarded the Griffith Bursary in 2020, and the Griffith University Academic Excellence Award in 2021 and 2022. Her work has featured in solo exhibitions including Axis and Origin, Carpark Gallery, Brisbane (2023); and Natural History Revised, Project Gallery, Brisbane (2020).
Selected group exhibitions include MADA NOW Grad Show, Melbourne (2024); Opening Night/Birthday Party, Melbourne (2024); Mind, Matter, Thoughts on Form, Pop Gallery, Brisbane (2023); Deux, Webb Gallery, Brisbane (2023); and Undergrowth, Grey Street Gallery, Brisbane (2022).
