With a distinct vision, Kiama-based Chick Butcher’s work focuses on the inherent reflection and introspection found within specific objects, from large installations to intimate pieces. His practice is heavily rooted in its materiality across a number of mediums including glass and steel. 

Chick’s work is held in Australian and international collections including the National Gallery of Australia; the Art Gallery of Western Australia; the Australian Catholic University; the Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui, New Zealand; Palm Springs Art Museum and the Ebeltoft Museum, Denmark. Chick is a graduate of the Australian National University, School of Art & Design, Canberra; Sydney College of the Arts (Visual Arts, Hons) and the internationally renowned Sturt School for Wood, Mittagong. Chick was born in the Southern Highlands and resides and practices in Kiama on the South Coast of NSW.

For OpenField, Chick will show his sculptural work incorporating elements of the collection of the Berry Museum.
