Trevor Flinn lives and works in Dunkeld in Victoria, Australia. Trevor spent his childhood and secondary school years in town before leaving to pursue tertiary study in Melbourne.In 2004 he completed a Bachelor of Fine Art (Sculpture) at the Victorian College of the Arts.

 

In 2007 Trevor was accepted as one of Next Wave's Regional Kick Start Artists, and in 2008 he presented his multi-media, collaborative project: The Puma, The Stranger and The Mountain, which went on to tour regionally thanks to National Exhibitions Touring Support Victoria (NETS).

 

In 2010 Trevor presented Film That Will End in Death, a documentary about risk takers, which premiered at Kings Artist Run Initiative (ARI). In the same year Trevor began work on The Cook and The Woodcutter, a two year video project for Illuminated by Fire, a Regional Arts Victoria (RAV) initiative involving 11 different artists, working in different locations across regional Victoria.

 

In 2011 he was awarded the Alan and Maria Myers Acquisitive Award for his sculpture Hide. In 2012 Trevor spent an intensive three month period engaged as an artist in residence as part of the innovative Twig project initiated by Australia's Creative Rural Economy (ACRE) team. Over the last few years his practice has evolved from sculptural, object based installations to more performance based, live events that involve projected footage and usually conclude with a supper.
