BIO:
Evangeline Cachinero works across painting, sculpture, digital media, AI, textiles, drawing, video, and photography. These mediums are combined into physical site-specific installations that form large, immersive collages, and are sometimes presented as purely digital installations. Her current practice explores the theme of whimsy.
Cachinero is an Australian born artist who spent the majority of her childhood in Spain and the US. She has been living in Australia since 1999 and currently lives in Melbourne.
