Tricky Walsh studied architecture, briefly, which is possibly the problem. She has consequently developed a love of things flat (drawing, painting and at a stretch; film) as well as things solid (sculpture, installation and in a weird way; sound)


Like all struggles between seemingly oppositional forces (good/bad, light/dark etc) she is forced on occasion to dedicate her time more exclusively with one, or the other. At the moment she is trying to merge the two, and is interested in the tensions that develop in that both/between place. Her fingers are crossed (which makes hammers and pens something of a struggle) that once the dust clears there will be something still standing, but she’s not picking sides.


She is part of the ongoing collaborations Henri Papin – the Collector; (a superfiction with artist Mish Meijers), the installation/performance group The Holy Trinity (with Meijers and Alicia King) and The Subterranean Plant Society - a new collaborative model that focuses on spatial and materiality as governing concepts in creating works.


She was Chair, and a founding member of the Artist Run Initiative Six_a in North Hobart, Tasmania until its closure in 2011, and is currently on the CAST gallery Program Committee.
She is represented by Dick Bett Gallery, Hobart, Tasmania.
