Britt Mikkelsen: Sculpting Light and Embracing Nature's Fragility

Britt Mikkelsen is an Australian artist whose practice centers around public art installations, sculptural lighting designs, and a profound fascination for the subtle beauty found within natural environments. Born in Perth, Western Australia, her artistic journey began with a deep connection to the coastal landscape—a formative influence that continues to permeate her work today. She holds a Master of Arts (Sculpture) from Curtin University and subsequently honed her skills through residencies at prestigious institutions internationally, fostering collaborations with leading designers and engineers.

Early Influences: Mikkelsen’s artistic vision was shaped by encounters with Japanese Zen gardens and the pioneering work of Louise Bourgeois, artists who championed vulnerability and introspection as core tenets of creative expression.
Material Exploration: Recognizing the inherent contradictions between industrial materials and organic forms, she skillfully combines resins and plastics—often repurposed from manufacturing processes—to reimagine natural subjects. This deliberate juxtaposition underscores a central theme: the fragility of existence amidst technological advancement.

Ocean Lace: A Celebration of Detail

Her most celebrated piece, “Ocean Lace,” exemplifies Mikkelsen’s meticulous approach to artistic creation. Crafted from recycled plastic filaments and illuminated by strategically positioned LED lights, the sculpture captures the intricate patterns formed by seaweed swaying in ocean currents—a microcosm of natural complexity rendered in luminous form. The artwork was awarded the Mandorla Art Award in 2021, cementing its status as a landmark achievement in contemporary Australian sculpture.

Technique: Mikkelsen’s technique involves layering resin filaments with painstaking precision, creating surfaces that appear deceptively delicate despite their robust construction.
Conceptual Depth: The sculpture serves as a poignant commentary on humanity's impact on the environment—a reminder of the beauty and vulnerability inherent in ecosystems threatened by industrial processes.

Public Art Commissions & Collaborations

Mikkelsen’s commitment to transforming public spaces into immersive artistic experiences has resulted in numerous commissions across Western Australia, including installations at Bunbury Regional Art Galleries and Cockburn Central. Notably, she participated in Sculpture By The Sea Perth 2017 and 2018, showcasing her sculptural lighting designs alongside fellow artists—a testament to her collaborative spirit and dedication to engaging audiences with art beyond the confines of traditional galleries.

Notable Projects: Her work includes “The Ripple” at Stirling Gardens, a monumental sculpture reflecting on themes of resilience and transformation

Recognition & Awards

Britt Mikkelsen’s artistic accomplishments have garnered significant acclaim—she was awarded the Helen Lempriere Scholarship for Emerging Artists in 2018 and secured the major prize at the Darlington Sculpture Trail in 2019. Her sculptures are held in private collections worldwide, reflecting her enduring influence on the Australian art landscape. Source: Stala Contemporary
