Sean's Biography
Sean Booth began his life as a Sydney boy but began his career as a metalsmith upon moving to Canberra to study. Completing his undergraduate studies at the ANU School of Art in the Gold and Silversmithing workshop in 2002, he now has established a workshop in the Canberra region.
His practice consists of two main threads of investigation. One focuses on the more traditional use of silver and hammerwork within a contemporary context. The other one challenges geometry and the structures that can be built with a sense of fluidness. His work takes on as many varied forms as sculptural works, lights and limited edition series.
Sean has worked closely with Robert Foster, working on a casual basis for Fink and Co. for over 6 years. In 2004 Sean participated in a mentorship project with Robert that focused on the development of prototypes for Sean to take through to production.
With a desire to always evolve his practice, Sean seeks new techniques and methods of expanding his skill base.
