Mungo Howard is an artist based on Gadigal land whose practice stems from personal encounters with found, cast off material - broadly encompassed by the topic of ruins. Working across multiple media and processes, his works often allude to correspondences between found material and more conventional painterly subject matter, teasing out analogous relations between seeming polarities.​​
