DAVID SEQUEIRA is a visual artist, art/business consultant and freelance museum education professional based in Canberra, Australia. Working in a range of media, David explores the notions of language and information through colour and geometry. A self confessed hoarder, David collects books, vases, flower petals, leaves, orange domestic ware and plastic plates which all find their way into his practice. David's interests include museums, libraries, flea markets and junk shops. 'Firstly, they furnish recollection; they constitute our picture of the past...Secondly, objects stimulate remembering...by the serendipitous encounter, bringing back experiences which otherwise would have remained dormant, repressed or forgotten...Thirdly, objects form records: analogues to living memory, storing information beyond individual experience.' M. Kwint 1999, Introduction: The Physical Past Over the last 12 years he has exhibited his work extensively through out Australia at venues including the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Museum of Contemporary Art. His work has been regularly profiled in art journals including the Sydney based magazine, Art and Australia and the Las Angeles based Art & Text. He has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Australia Council’s studio residency in Paris and the Collex Museum of Contemporary Art acquisitive prize. David has been involved in visual art education for nearly two decades. David’s commitment to education extends beyond the needs of schools and institutions. Working in a range of museums including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, he is skilled in bringing people of all ages, from all walks of life to a richer understanding and a deeper appreciation of the potential place of art and creativity in their lives.
