Bronwyn Sargeson is an artist who primarily works with glass. Raised in Canberra on Ngunnawal/Ngambri country, Bronwyn completed a Bachelor of Visual Art majoring in Glass (2021) at the Australian National University’s School of Art and Design. Bronwyn was the recipient of multiple Emerging Artist Support Scheme Awards in 2021, including a residency at the Canberra Glassworks. They have completed workshops by leading artists within the field in Canberra (AUS), Adelaide (AUS) and Seattle (USA). Bronwyn regularly assists local. national and international artists of a high calibre and is part of the Children's Art Centre Team at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art and Install Team at the Institute of Modern Art. 

Bronwyn’s work challenges notions of beauty often associated with glass. Although including playful elements of colour and form, their work tackles the jarring and often necessary medical procedures required for a chronically ill body. Bronwyn’s sculptural work features anthropomorphic blown glass forms, often interacting with other glass or mixed media elements. They uses this interaction as an exploration of the queer body as a site for the intervention of medical apparatus. Driven by ongoing material investigation, their practice led research incorporates multiple studio glass and sculptural processes, often in unconventional ways. Their exposure to various methods of using glass and other materials and their eagerness to push the material defines her practice. 

In the same way medical procedures are performed on the human body, they create ambivalence between the graceful material of glass and harsh interferences into the surface. Their commitment to material innovation and experimentation seeks to realise the potential for transformation in these moments of pain.
