Chloe Flockart

Multi-disciplinary Artist Focused on Creating Projects with Regional Communities

Chloe Flockart is a multi-talented artist with a passion for collaboration and community engagement. With a background in puppetry, painting, sculpture, and theatre performance, she has worked with a range of companies across Australia and the UK, including Barking Gecko Theatre, The Last Great Hunt, and Spare Parts Puppet Theatre.

Chloe's diverse career has allowed her to experiment across art forms, and she now maintains a highly flexible independent practice. She is deeply passionate about the environment and biophilic arts practices. She has worked with organisations such as the WA Museum and Meridian Regional Arts to create public artworks that encourage audiences to reflect on the impact of urbanisation on natural spaces. Often incorporating reclaimed materials, her works aim to reduce environmental impact while inviting people to consider how we collaborate with nature in everyday life.

Chloe has been a recipient of both a Regional Arts WA Fellowship and a Minderoo Foundation Arts Fund grant, supporting her work with regional communities where the natural environment is positioned as the key beneficiary. She has created a solar-powered bicycle that projects stories about climate change onto abandoned buildings in the Wheatbelt, and biodegradable sculptures made from invasive grasses designed to break down and reseed spaces with native flora. Most recently, she was invited to participate in Australia’s first Biophilic Arts Lab with the City of Melville and is currently the Resident Artist at Great Southern Grammar, helping students develop work focused on the endangered Western ringtail possum.

Her long-term project, Glass Reef, involves recycling glass into components for an artificial reef system. Chloe is currently seeking a funding partner to help bring this concept to life. Over the past 12 months, she has been developing efficient methods to recycle post-industrial glass and cast it into ocean-safe tiles. These tiles are designed to attach quickly and elegantly to floating infrastructure, enabling rapid deployment of sculptural reef systems that support marine life while being visually captivating.

Chloe Flockart’s impressive range of skills, deep connection to the natural world, and ongoing commitment to regional collaboration make her a vital and unique contributor to the Australian arts landscape.
