Esther Stewart’s practice is based on an exploration of the constructed environments in which we live. Her body of work, which she terms Portable Compactable, occupies a space between the functional and the purely aesthetic object.

Esther has exhibited in several artist run initiatives, including Blindside, Platform Contemporary Art Space, Rearview and TCB. In 2010 Esther was included in Fresh 2010 at Craft Victoria, an exhibition and award that explored new parameters of contemporary craft and design.

Esther completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with First Class Honours in 2010, majoring in Sculpture and Spatial Practice.
