Kristy Scaddan is a Western Australian multidisciplinary artist, curator and printmaker whose practice examines the intersections of ecology, memory and place through site-responsive research. Working across printmaking, sculpture, photography and artists' books, she investigates how landscapes hold the physical and psychological traces of human presence.

Centred on repeated encounters with urban fringe environments and the coastal landscapes surrounding her hometown along Indian Ocean Drive, Scaddan's practice is shaped by slow observation, walking and material collection. Her work draws attention to the overlooked residue of the Anthropocene of mining debris, synthetic matter and displaced fragments, which become both evidence of ecological transformation and vessels for personal and collective memory.

Through acts of collecting, cataloguing and material translation, Scaddan repositions these found elements within poetic visual narratives. Rather than documenting landscape as a passive observer, she employs printmaking as a process of excavation and reinterpretation, creating works that consider fragility, absence and our evolving relationship with the environments we inhabit.

Scaddan graduated with a Bachelor of Contemporary Arts (Visual Arts) from Edith Cowan University in 2021. Alongside her studio practice, she works across curatorial and community arts contexts, contributing to exhibitions, cultural programming and contemporary arts initiatives throughout Western Australia.
