Artist Bio

Sylva Storm is an interdisciplinary artist working on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri, Woi-wurrung people. Sylva’s practice is interested in the body as a collective site, a personal archive visited by desire, humour, labour and shared histories. Using their body as a consistent link, they work through mediums of performance, video, installation and painting.

They completed a residency in France at The Chateau Orquevaux in 2023, as well as the SUPERMASSIVE program with APHIDS. In 2024 they exhibited selected works in BUFF at Greenfloor Gallery and JACUZZI in the Nicholas Building whilst completing their Fine Arts degree at RMIT.
