Rhys
Cousins

Rhys Cousins is an emerging Melbourne born and based and his practice is necessarily transdisciplinary; with formal academic education in landscape architecture and working across art and design, his works range from material investigations, sculpture, place-based installation, and digital screen works. 

Rhys has a broad interest in the phenomenology of landscape and concern with the impacts of capital and consumption on the urban and natural environment. His practice is process driven and place-specific, resulting in works that are tactile, emotive, refined and mute – employing saturated colour and hue. Current practice research, and projects, are rumination's on the quality of texture; it's embedded associations, emotional responses and its contribution to notions of place.

Rhys is a PhD candidate in the School of Design at RMIT University.
