I'm Trent Anthony Francis, a Melbourne-based creative, and I've been exploring the intersection of darker art, video, and electronic music since the early 2000s.
My work often delves into themes that some might find challenging – folklore, body horror, sexuality, and religion – and I'm not afraid to provoke a reaction or push boundaries. I'm drawn to the power of immersive experiences, blending different mediums to create something that hopefully stays with you and sparks you to question your own perspectives.
I'm always exploring the complexities of what it means to be human, and I invite you to join me on that journey.
The urge to create is something deeply human, something that connects us to our past and shapes our future. We look back at what came before, drawing inspiration from the artists and innovators who paved the way. For me, it's all about building on that foundation, using the tools we have today to see things in a new light.
I love the idea of iteration and collaboration – that creative spark that comes from working with others or putting your own spin on an existing style or idea. It's like a conversation that stretches across time, with each generation adding its own voice to the mix.
Platforms like Creative Commons are amazing because they make it easier for everyone to participate in this creative dialogue. It's about breathing new life into old works and creating something completely new in the process. To me, that's what keeps art alive and evolving – that constant loop of discovery and expression. Art is essential to who we are, and it always will be.
