About:

Melbourne based artist April Mountfort was born in New Zealand, moving to Sydney Australia as a young adult and more recently to Melbourne. After undertaking a number of national and international short art courses in disciplines such as photography, painting and metalwork sculpture, she decided to study fine arts full time. Mountfort was awarded a BFA (Hons) from the University of New South Wales in 2021.

 Mountfort’s current practice is in expanded video, sculpture, installations and painting with these disciplines often intersecting. Mountfort often, but not exclusivity sessions fabrics in her sculptural works, with some of these works than being integrated into video animations and performances.
