Objects of obsession 3 - Krystal Bradford
Sometimes, an object can tell us something about who we are.
Objects of obsession 3 explores the fragments we collect throughout our lives and the way they gradually become part of our identity. An object can hold a memory, mark a particular moment in time, or simply speak to something about who we are and what matters to us.
Through expressive abstraction, Krystal transforms these ideas into colour, gesture and layered forms, leaving space for the viewer to consider their own relationship with the objects they choose to keep.
A small reflection on memory, identity and the things that become part of our story.

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.
