Benjamin Knock is a multidisciplinary artist bridging the gap between our modern, technology-based Anthropocene and the ancient geophysical forces that have sculpted the Earth’s surface. His diverse practice spans mixed media work, large-scale murals, digital world building, handblown glass, and sculptural installation, drawing deep inspiration from geology and the hidden strata beneath our feet.
Having grown up on the rugged southwestern Australian coastline, surrounded by untouched, raw, elemental landscapes, Benjamin’s creative process is deeply informed by direct volcanic fieldwork and geological analysis. These immersive investigations into primordial terrain and deep time provide both the scientific and visual foundations for his evolving practice. His work seeks to materialise the terraforming processes that have forged and continue to shape the planet we all call home.
