Who is Deej Fabyc?

Deej Fabyc is an Australian/British artist who works with what she calls a "forenzic biographical" type of art, with works in performance, performance installation, combined with drawing, video, photography and objects. Her work takes up the personal is political as read and does not differentiate between art and life. She has exhibited throughout Europe, the United States and Australia since 1982. She lives in London, England, and is the current visiting lecturer in Time Based Media at Sir John Cass Department of Art, Media & Design, London Metropolitan University.

Fabyc's work has been shown internationally in museums, galleries and artist-run spaces for the past 15 years. Her body of work addresses the psychological dimensions of the personal and political experience of trauma, a sense or ambivalence and 'schlock horror' permeates her work. Fabyc is also Founding Director of Elastic Residence in East London.

The name "Fabyc" is an acronym meaning "Family By Choice", and she has used this name since she was nineteen, as it gives her the freedom to make her work without worrying about it reflecting on her family.
