Peachey & Mosig
Mixed Media + Textiles
Maker Member
Rachel Peachey and Paul Mosig are Canberra-based visual artists and designers whose collaborative practice spans textiles, photomedia, moving image, sound, installation, and field research. Graduates of the Australian National University School of Art, they have developed a multidisciplinary practice over two decades that translates ecological tensions into quietly poetic encounters. Their work is grounded in Human Ecology and long term site based research, engaging with landscapes as both observers and active participants.
Working across Australia, Asia, and Europe, they create mixed media installations, live performances, and time-based works shaped by careful attention to place, material accumulation, and sensory experience. Recent projects include a three channel video and sound performance at the Sydney Opera House and Deep Pass, an award winning underground projection for the North Sydney Art Prize. Their current practice foregrounds site responsive environments that question conventional exhibition forms and situate contemporary art within wider environmental and cultural ecologies.
"Our practice begins with fieldwork: slow observation, sensory attunement, and responding materially to the places we move through. We work collaboratively, drawing on textiles, moving image, sound, and collected or altered objects to explore the entanglement of human and environmental systems. Human Ecology informs our approach, giving us a framework for understanding how emotional, geological, and cultural forces intersect.
In the studio, we translate field research into mixed media installations and time based works that carry traces of these encounters. We use photography and video to register subtle shifts in landscape, layering them with sound, movement, and sculptural elements to build installations that feel intimate and unsettled.
We are drawn to themes of deep geological memory, grief rituals, impermanence, and resilience. Our aim is not to illustrate landscape, but to create conditions for reflection, spaces where uncertainty, curiosity, and embodied perception remain central."
