Chelsea Wong is an emerging artist from Sydney, Australia, practising on Wallumedegal and Gadigal lands. She is a recent graduate in 2026 from the University of New South Wales with a Bachelor of Fine arts degree majoring in drawing and photography. She works across photography, drawing, video work and performance art.
Chelsea’s work is centered on human ruins. Her practice asks: what is the identity of a liminal space – such as an abandoned building – and how does it impact, or change our own identity when we exist in them? She examines abandoned spaces from an anticapitalist and anti-consumerist point of view, reflecting on the cyclical processes of urban destruction and reconstruction.
During her stay in Skagaströnd, Chelsea will continue exploring abandoned spaces. She is particularly interested in the human body as sculpture in these unstable environments, contorting mimicking and fusing the body with the geometric structures of derelict buildings and the organic forms of the beautiful and bizarre landscape.
