Objects of obsession 2 - Krystal Bradford
The things we hold onto can become part of who we are.
Objects of obsession 2 explores our instinct to collect, keep and surround ourselves with objects that hold meaning. Some carry joyful memories, others carry a little more weight, but together they become part of the stories we tell about ourselves.
Through expressive abstract forms, colour and layered mark-making, Krystal considers the emotional life of the objects we choose to keep — and how they can hold memories, experiences and pieces of our identity.
A thoughtful exploration of why some things become more than just things.

Krystal Bradford
Krystal is a contemporary artist based in Brisbane, specialising in abstract painting. Her practice is grounded in drawing, mixed media, and textiles, with a continued focus on material exploration and expressive form. An intuitive use of gesture, colour, and mark-making, Krystal is influenced by artists such as Tracey Emin, Egon Schiele, John Olsen, and Brett Whiteley. Through large-scale abstract compositions, her work explores themes of memory, place, and belonging, she investigates the tension between movement and stillness, and the shifting relationship between home, identity, and lived experience.
