Cliff Burtt

Cliff Burtt has an extensive arts practice with academic history in Swinburne Institute of Technology, RMIT and the Monash Gallery of Art. He has been exhibiting since 1985 and has worked with councils and corporations for Public Art commissions across Victoria and Tasmania since 1991. Burtt’s work has been on display in the National Gallery of Victoria and is collected across Australia, Europe and the USA. Cliff interest lies with the landscape and the built environment. Our continent’s unique geography, fauna and flora have shaped countless generations of its inhabitants; overlaid on this is the relatively recent infusion of cultural ideas and artifacts. The paradigm which has shaped the modern world, that of natural philosophy – science- and its concomitant engineering technologies, begins with the investigation and measurement of phenomena.
