Grace is a Garramilla (Darwin) based artist who works with sculpture and spatial practice. Her work involves an exploration of material and objects to explore themes of gender, the domestic and the feminine.

Hopton’s work focuses on materiality, form and balance. As such, her practice consists heavily of material exploration, manipulation, and the creation of objects to convey a narrative. Grace draws inspiration from objects and themes associated with the domestic setting and traditional female roles. She is interested in the process of dismantling traditional gender roles and norms through making. As well as using traditional sculptural materials, she engages with objects that hold utilitarian value and often explores materiality through industrial building materials.  Her work often consists of textiles, cast objects, metal and readymades.

She has taken part in group exhibitions and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts and is currently studying a Master of Education (Secondary, Visual Arts) at Boorloo’s Curtin University.
