Landscape Screaming

Landscape Dreaming

Shelly Li

I would like the viewer to read my prints as the following two poems;

Landscape screaming

Hear my destruction

Clearing and drilling

Our demise

For my regeneration

Interdependent and interconnected

We survive

Adelaide City and the Parklands:Colonal Light’s Vision

Lucy Timbrell

My current works explore the spirit of cities and are reflections of what is old and new, natural and man-made. Adelaide City and the Park Lands: Colonel Light’s Vision depicts a changing city surrounded by nature. Similarly, London City: Across the Millennium Bridge reflects the history and complexity of the City of London. The Thames continues to flow through even as new structures are added: a constant in an ever evolving cityscape.

The Shock of Battle

Janice Lane

It is difficult to imagine life without memory when it is so essential to our very sense of self. However, memory is only possible on the basis of first forgetting, and is by its very nature subjective, selective and fragmented. It is in the forgotten I find my inspiration. Digitally altered forgotten photographers are printed upon pages of an old book, one recorded memory upon another, bringing into creation something new and otherwise unseen.

Encounter

Crow

Wendy Wright

Thanks to John Tenniel's marvelous illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, we have the vitriolic Queen of Hearts, inspiring me to base this work on her “off with her head” command.

More ambiguously ,the intelligent Crow has been associated with mystery and magic, and is seen by mankind in both positive and negative ways. The crow in this print is carrying a metallic bead, symbolizing these attitudes and beliefs.

Off With Her Head

Green Coral

Chris De Rosa

‘Each one of us is as old as the entire biological kingdom, and our blood streams are tributaries of the great sea of its total memory.’

The Drowned World, J.G. Ballard

The merging of the sea floor and the domestic floor has been a recurring theme in my practice. These works are musings on our current concern with rising sea levels, the destruction of fragile aquatic environments and the resulting merging of ecologies from above and beneath the ocean.

Constantinople’s Harem Girl

 

Rebecca Prince

I am interested in exploring concepts regarding gender, the body and landscape; more specifically how cultural and social attitudes are reflected on women and their bodies in different contexts. I once heard Istanbul described as possessing a female persona, however as a foreign woman traveling there, I noticed that whilst, as a landscape it held feminine qualities, these were often overpowered by a strong patriarchal society. Consequently, the place vibrates with juxtapositions. One can be simultaneously in awe of Istanbul’s beauty and reviled by the society’s attitudes toward women.

Istanbul Built on a Woman

Stuck in Time

 

Bekki Klix
As I attempt to comprehend the rational world, I find myself moving further from it.
My thoughts and questions become stories. The people I know become characters and they journey through an unknown land hoping to find answers. These are my imaginary worlds. I often wonder why we separate our rational lives from the irrational as if one were fact and the other fiction. It seems we have drawn the line between our physical reality and our dreams and visions, between our conscious and unconscious states of mind. I contemplate how little importance our visions hold in our everyday lives, how we discard them as irrelevant aspects of our being. This work reflects the dual nature of our realities and our varying abilities to move between the two. The clock has been employed to symbolize that of the rational, a world ruled by time and schedule. I have explored the idea that people, over time, become trapped in this so-called reality and can no longer imagine or dream.

Acid Tongue

 

Andrea Przygonski

Vinegar is a versatile liquid with a fascinating history. Consisting of cellulose and acetic acid bacteria, Mother of Vinegar occurs naturally as a result of fermenting alcoholic liquids. While Four Thieves Vinegar has a shadier mythological past. This special concoction of vinegar, herbs, spices and garlic was supposedly used by medieval thieves to protect against catching the Black Death when robbing from the dead or sick. Could this also protect against the malice and bitterness of an acid tongue?

Transition 3

 

John @Blines

The process of screen-print monotype is conducive to achieving circumstances that result in a series of related yet unique images: unpredictable and uncontrollable, they elicit a sense of the phenomenal.

Untitled 1 (Between Converstions)

 

Suzie Lockery

As modes of communication become more and more complex and divided between physical and digital realms, I am intrigued by the perception of information we share and receive and the ‘slippages’ that occur in the process.

My practice involves a process of translating various semiotic relationships found within the urban environment to form a unique topographic visual language. Investigating ideas of communication, identity, transience and our sense of connection to ‘place’, my intention is to create work that invites contemplation of how we perceive our relationship to one another and the world we inhabit.

Remebering the Delabole Road

 

Christobel Kelly

This work is based on the proposition that there is a clear correlation between the treatment of animals and the treatment of people.

Postcolonial Australians have relied on the commodification of animals as a way of flourishing. In doing so, it has enabled them to develop a vitriolic mindset that allows for the ‘live export’ of refugees.

The first image shows the misguided treatment of ravens and the second, is based on the startling images of lifeboats being used to tow the vulnerable away.

Out on the Wine-dark Sea

Apparitions in the Metro

 

Alexander Cocks

People in general have always been a preferred subject of my work, especially those interesting individuals who surround me whilst commuting on public transport.
Their expressions hold riddles waiting to be deciphered and understood. Through print making I've chosen to capture their fascinating and intriguing characters, whilst at the same time ensuring I preserve their individual and unique personalities. What they're thinking remains the riddle, and the answer remains with them.

Cause and Effect 1

 

Candace Nel

My work is an exploration of the connections between society and self. It is a carefully curated gallery of motivations, experiences and effects. Each bottle is symbolic in speaking its own message, showing the cause and effect of how circumstances shape our identity.

Cause and Effect 11

Direction to the Brain

 

Beth Evans

I commenced my study of the human body during my career as a health professional and continued with it when I subsequently became a visual artist. A visit to La Specola Museum began my interest in the history of the science of anatomy. My work explores the mapping of the human body and is influenced by historical anatomical illustration. I am intrigued by the paradox that the body presents of great strength, yet exquisite delicacy.

Infinate Possibilities

Young Hearts

Joshua Searson and Mei Sheong Wong

For this exhibition, Joshua Searson and Mei Sheong Wong have formed the unlikely art duo Searson and Wong. Through their collaborative practice they explore and interpret a wide range of themes. Young Hearts and Infinate Possibilities explore love and identity in the contemporary digital age whereas  the Incendies works are inspired by Clerk Saunders, a medieval Scottish folksong , which is an uncanny tale of undying love.

Time to Build

 

Jake Holmes

Combining; collage, screen printing and the CMYK process, I aim to create work that highlights and exposes these different process under different viewing conditions. From afar one can view the photo collage aspect of the work. When viewed up close the CMYK and screen printing processes are both exposed to the viewer. I have combined architectural imagery to form geometric compositions that help to highlight the processes used.

Acid Rain - Pieta

 

Sandra Starkey Simon

Living on a U.S. campus in the seventies a new world unfolded. When the National Guard attacked the students at Kent State University and shot four demonstrators dead, the halcyon days of the sixties were over. Acid Rain is a diptych in which I look back to this place and event and present it as a symbol of the ongoing vitriolic power of governments and politicians over the people of their nations.

Pieta - Assault

Sugar and Spice (Standing Girl)

 

Christine Gordon

The creative process begins for me by shedding the constraints of the here and now. Vintage fashion, storybook adventures and nostalgic memories transport me back to my seven year old self at play in my grandmother’s wardrobe.

I am free to re-create the whimsical, playful and carefree imaginings of that happy place.

Hope Lies Within the Hearts of the Fallen

 

Kerri-Ann Wright

My work stems from a fascination with ancient cultures, myths, legends, and storytelling. Printmaking as a medium for storytelling and the survival of information is an important aspect of my work as it's roots are planted deep within history. My prints hold their own stories set within their own worlds, and I encourage the viewer to unravel these legends or perhaps even create their own tales to accompany the imagery.

Sadness will Prevail

Lunar Phases - Bad Behaviours, Candlelit Meeting in the Cabbage Patch, Mrs Vixen

 

Jayson Fox

As the sun is slowly enveloped by the encroaching blanket of darkness, the transformative effects take hold and the night can begin. I am a creature of the night I revel in

the freedom that it affords me, as the world sleeps I bask in the moonlight, being rejuvenated by the celestial bodies that stare back at me from overhead,

I shake off the day’s atrophy and allow the real work to begin.

Kyneton Fields

 

Amanda Lawler

My printmaking has been informed by recent forays into hard-edge abstract painting. Additionally, living a rural life has brought an awareness of big skies. We live in a land where the sky is a dominant feature of many landscapes.

I am creating individualised landscapes, reducing what I see to simplified forms. These landscapes rely on the viewer to draw on their own experiences and memories to interpret the imagery and to visualise the details.

Hands of History

 

Audrey Harnett

In the panorama of life and death through time and place, history decides the fate of the great and the humble. The transience of life is a continuum. This work invites the viewer to contemplate one's own role in the theatre of love and loss as a universally and historically shared experience. Reference is made to Memento Mori, the cycle of life, death and transience to which we belong. Also addressed are spirituality and the notion of an afterlife in which angels accompany a passed soul to heaven, upwards through the sunset, while one's body returns to the earth from which new life springs.

Where we Could Have Been but Didn’t Know

 

Grace Myers

My body of work reflects thoughts concerning childhood, nostalgia, loss of innocence and the perhaps misguided conditioning which often afflicts the adult mind. Through the medium of etching with aquatint I explore these ideas in a figurative and illustrative style.

The unknowing yet accepting nature of a child concerning the dangerous world around them, is something which can only be experienced in these early years. The intention of my artwork is to recapture this feeling of innocence and transcendence whilst incorporating the knowledge of adulthood, in order to express the sad realisation of the passing of time.

Time Before We Knew the Truth

Radiata Cone

 

Raphaela Mazzone

My current work looks at truth and the ideal form. In nature archetypal forms can be found repeated in different places and at different scales. In the work for Vinegar and Vitriol I found the mathematical formulas that described the Radiata Pine tree and cone, and superimposed the geometric forms over the prints.

The Funny Pranks Went One Step Over The Line

 

Reuben Duffy

When living within a community, people often build strong bonds and relationships, trust, loyalty, love and friendship, however, the path isn’t always straight. Through my experience of living in a shared house with two loveable pranksters, trick, mischief and mud flinging have been a part of daily life and weekly ritualistic rights of passage. Through this work I have endevoured to explore the experiences that I have encountered over the past years.

No You Are, No You Are, Oh You Are So Mate!

Lest We Forget

 

Vicki Reynolds

The loss of the Thylacine from our Australian ecosystem should act as a constant reminder to Australians; if we continue to ignore the fragility of our land and planet we place not only other life forms, but also our own in peril – Lest we forget

Oikoumené I

 

Jordan Gower

In the ancient world oikoumené translated to the inhabited earth. The term was often used where physical thresholds were claimed in an attempt to understand then unknown world. In my work oikoumené is used to explore perceptual thresholds, navigating between what is seen and the shadows that fall at the edge of vision. These prints are the first in a new investigation of light, darkness and liminality.

Oikoumené II

Inhale

 

Kai Benyk

My work explores the fragility of life and how we are all subject to our own mortality. There is a certain beauty to be found in the fact that everyone's life must come full circle. Inhale, Exhale examines the cyclical nature of breathing and how this involuntary action serves as a marker for life.

Exhale

Coalescence

 

Michele Lane

To the ancient scholars, the earth’s surface was Terra firma – a solid foundation upon which to build their civilisations. This constructed reality presumes earthquakes to be a momentary aberration rather than evidence of Terra mobilis.

Geological reality asserts that our atoms arise from and return to the same cosmic dust as the most ancient rocks. Coalescence and Fragmentation reference the metamorphic power of heat and the erosive power of ice that fuel this interminable cycle.

Fragmentation

1:20 MYT

 

Lindsey Bryant

Within a phenomenological methodology, and the process of observing skeletal forms, I am attempting to subvert generally held views of objective scientific reportage through the production of interpretative and experimental artefacts that have an anthropological focus and contemporary context.

Heartland Series III

 

Simone Tippett

Heartlands are Simone's latest works, evolving from a collaboration with Nina Frigault earlier this year. For Simone, the accretion of collagraphic marks in these works resonates with the kinds imagery often associated with ideas of the heart in popular culture and literature.
