Scott Eady is an acclaimed New Zealand sculptor whose work has been exhibited internationally at prestigious events such as the Venice Biennale and the Gwangju Biennale, South Korea. His sculptures are part of significant national collections, including the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Dunedin Public Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, The Chartwell Collection at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, the University of Otago Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka, and international institutions such as the Artetage Museum of Modern Art, Vladivostok, Russia, and the New Zealand Honorary Consulate in Vladivostok.

Eady has also completed prominent public commissions, including ‘The Philanthropist’s Stone’ for the Wellington Sculpture Trust, ‘Tātou Ahau’ at Otago Polytechnic, and ‘7 Miles’ at Caroline Freeman College, University of Otago.

Drawing upon a rich tapestry of personal encounters, shared experiences, and familial moments, Eady’s practice examines the relationships between individuals and their environments, as well as the dynamics of synergistic experiences. His sculptures engage with the fragile, often fraught tension between societal structures and human connection, revealing underlying currents of vitality, humor, and empathy. Through this lens, Eady’s work challenges perceptions, offering a thoughtful interrogation of how identity is shaped both personally and collectively.
