Maxxi Minaxi May is an Australian artist whose work explores the hybridization of global influences in consumer culture, and the everyday. Drawing on her diverse experiences, she remixes materials such as tape, and found objects to create bold, textured compositions that blur the lines between the contemporary and the nostalgic. Through her sculptural and 2D works, May reflects on themes of sustainability, consumerism, design and the popular. Central to her practice are play, colour, pattern and replication shown through a multidisciplinary practice that includes weaving, collage, printmaking, sculpture and installation. May exhibits with Art Collective WA.

 

Her work is held in private collections, in WA and internationally. In 2025 she will be presenting a new exhibition at the Art Gallery of WA, made in close collaboration with Curator Lilly Blue. She has a BA in Visual Art from Curtin University, a MA and PhD. She resides and works in Walyalup / Fremantle.
