Lewis is a Queensland artist whose practice is rooted in punk ethos, friendship, and community care. Their work embraces the DIY spirit—rejecting hierarchy, championing collective action, and cultivating spaces where art functions as a social bond.

 

Through experimental processes, their work seeks to integrate diverse perspectives, and foster socially engaged art practices that encourage participation, dialogue, and disruption. By reimagining the boundaries between artist and audience, they create works that are not only seen but experienced, inviting people into an ongoing negotiation of meaning, authorship, and shared culture.

​

With years of experience working across communities, regional cultural institutions, and festivals, Lewis is dedicated to creating participatory encounters that disrupt, reimagine, and connect. Their work often engages with the overlooked, the everyday, and the absurd—using humour, poetry, music, costume-making, and performance to reassemble language and cultural symbols in unexpected ways. By re-assembling idioms, sounds, and images from contemporary life, Lewis crafts new cultural expressions that resist categorization, offering alternative ways of seeing, understanding, and belonging. Their practice values the raw, the unfinished, and the spontaneous, reflecting an ongoing commitment to process over product and a belief in art’s capacity to be lived rather than simply observed.
