Teresa Busuttil (b. 1993) is a Australian-Maltese visual artist working between Kaurna Country and Malta. Her art practice blends personal stories, family history, and fantasy through sculpture, installation, and moving image.
Using found or repurposed materials as a base, Busuttil builds on them, often drawing on her connection to the ocean, island life, and themes surrounding the sea alongside various cultural, contemporary, and historical influences. Through a process combining research and imagination, she examines the dualities and contradictions present in personal and political history, exploring identity, cultural legacy, grief, and memory.
In 2024, Busuttil was selected for Primavera 2024; Young Australian Artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and the inaugural Malta Biennale of Art, Malta.
In 2023, she was invited to present a solo exhibition, Asleep with the Fishes, at Firstdraft, Sydney as part of the Adelaide Contemporary Experimental (ACE) Studio Program. Other recent exhibitions include Stranger than Fiction, West Space, VIC; Passage; Murray Art Museum Albury NSW; and Studios 2023, ACE, Adelaide, SA.
