Sienna Murdoch works with geline, a tactile, reusable biomaterial she developed from seaweed extracts.

Somewhere between jelly, silicone, rubber and glass, geline is soft yet resilient, fleshy, seductive, strange.

A material designed for impermanence. It can be melted down and reshaped endlessly, allowing sienna to create works that are rich in sensation, yet free from the burden of permanence or categorisation.

Through sculptural tableaux, she assembles fragments of memory, cast forms derived from everyday objects, tools, toys, fruit, and bodily impressions.

These are altered into something ambiguous and evocative: voids, membranes, ear canals, belly buttons, and objects you feel like you’ve encountered but can’t place.

together, they form sensory landscapes where new logics emerge. stories are suggested, the viewer is invited to project, associate, remember, and to touch.

Touch is central to sienna’s practice as a radical mode of understanding. Her work explores how touch accesses pre-verbal, non-linear knowledge, bypassing logic and language to access emotion, memory and desire. The works invite audiences to engage physically, creating moments of connection, play, discomfort, care, and community.

Alongside her studio practice, sienna collaborates widely, creating bespoke installations and sculptural environments for cultural institutions, film productions, and public events.
