Sian Watson一位来自阿德莱德的艺术家，她探索人类、动物及其共同环境之间的关系。Watson用她模棱两可的形式捕捉运动和叙事，主要由钢铁和混凝土制成。2015年，她在澳大利亚国立大学获得了视觉艺术学士学位(一等荣誉)，现在她的实践涵盖了工作室作品和公共艺术委托作品。她的作品曾在澳大利亚、加拿大和美国展出，并被全国收藏。
Sian Watson is an Adelaide based artist who explores the relationships between humans, animals and their shared environments. Watson captures movement and narrative in her ambiguous forms, primarily made from steel and concrete. Having completed her Bachelor of Visual Arts (First Class Honours) at ANU in 2015, her practice now spans studio-based works and public art commissions. She has exhibited art in Australia, Canada and the USA, and has been nationally collected.
Sian Watson的作品以动物和鸟类为中心，造型硕大修长，姿态万千。毕业后，她创作了许多鸟类形象。锈迹斑斑的表面象征着人造环境与自然环境的交汇，有意地呼应了恶化、变化和时间流逝的过程。一些雕塑作品带有一抹黄色，在观看和质疑的行为中唤起观者的注意。
Sian Watson’s work centres around animals and birds, in large elongated forms and striking gestural poses. She has made many bird figures since graduating. The rusted surface is symbolic of the intersection between human-made and natural environments, which intentionally echo the processes of deterioration, change and the passing of time. A few sculptures have a pop of yellow that evoke attention to the viewer’s gaze in an act of looking and questioning.
Sian Watson引发了我们如何看待人在生态景观中的位置的思考--我们是一个整体还是一个独立的实体。她邀请观众凝视具象雕塑，他们的目光指向周围的环境，提供了一种深刻的观众体验，在这种体验中，人们不仅观察艺术，而且观察行为本身。
Sian Watson prompts contemplation on how we perceive people’s place in the ecological landscape – whether we are integrated or a separate entity. She invites the observer to contemplate the figurative sculptures, their gazes directed towards the surrounding environment, offering a profound experience of spectatorship, wherein one not only observes the art but also the act of looking itself.
