Mikaela Stafford

Melbourne artist Mikaela Stafford makes motion graphics and biomorphic sculptural works, predominantly in the 3D digital art space. Her work explores the opportunities and challenges of a cyber-physical world and hopes to provide people a sense of optimism about the future. Mikaela draws inspiration from bioluminescent creatures, the symbology of spheres, and hypothetical futures.

She recently transformed one of her animated works into a four-metre tall sculpture for PITCH Music and Arts, and has created artwork for Jamsheed Wines to use across the 10 bottles of their Apricity range. Mikaela studied BA (hons) Visual Art at Sydney College of the Arts, and MA Art in Public Spaces at RMIT. Mikaela has created work for Art Projects Australia and Common Ground, two organisations that champion visibility and representation of First Nations people and artists with intellectual disabilities.
