Melbourne-based creative Trent Saunders, also known under the monikers Trent Anthony Francis and Audrey Vixen creates a unique and captivating blend of subversive art, video and electronic music.
Exploring themes of folklore, body horror, sexuality and religion, his work has been a disruptive and controversial force within the art space since the early 2000s.
His approach to free art and Creative Commons challenges conventions and redefines the possibilities of what it means to co-create with modern art, video and sound.
.. "The human urge to create stretches back to the dawn of our existence, leaving an indelible mark on the world. This legacy binds present and future; we mine the past for inspiration, building upon its foundation with fresh eyes and the tools of today.
I believe in the power of iteration and collaboration. Artists, scientists, educators, and innovators draw strength from the giants who came before us and the peers who walk beside us.
This creative dialogue takes many forms: weaving another artist's style into your own, reimagining age-old themes in new mediums, or transforming existing works into something entirely different. It's a constantly evolving symphony, each generation adding its own verse.
Platforms like Creative Commons empower creators of all levels to engage in this process, breathing new life into established works and birthing entirely new narratives. This endless loop of discovery and expression fuels our artistic spirit.
Art, in its myriad forms, has always been and will always be a fundamental part of the human experience".
