ROGERS_S_IMAGE 3.png

Siahne is a practising artist from Boorloo Perth

Western Australia.

Often driven by a desire to encourage openness and play, their practice is defined by methods in sculpture, performance and video, moving between mediums to create socially-engaged works, gestural objects and interactive installations. From public art to public acts of foolery, Rogers interrogates the dynamic space where sculpture becomes performance and performance becomes sculpture.

Informed by a background in cabaret and circus, and drawing from their parallel role as an educator and technician, Rogers' practice is deeply rooted in understanding how we inhabit and interact with our perceptions of time and space, objects, and each other, creating opportunities for embodied learning where physical engagement becomes a form of knowledge-making. Their broad approach to creating allows them to explore the slippery relationship between humour, tragedy and meaning-making found throughout narratives on lived experience and social contexts of everyday life.
