Cairns, Queensland, Australia
Biography
Jack Andrew Wilkie-Jans originally started his career in the arts as a volunteer artsworker, curator and events and exhibitions co-ordinator for local grass-roots level arts and cultural events. His tribal Grandmother was the late, “Thapich” Dr Gloria Fletcher James AO. Jack lives and works in Cairns, far north Queensland. In 2011 he, along with many other volunteers who work in a wide selection of industries, was awarded the Senator Jan McLucas Volunteer Recognition Award for his efforts and work with youth at risk with youth charities and for his efforts in strengthening the local Cairns arts & cultural scene. Jack first started volunteering in the Arts at Cell Art Space, an Artist Run Initiative in far north Queensland. This role saw him participate in a group exhibition of the Co-Directors called 'Art Sense’ in 2011. His most notable project was The ’2012’ Exhibition, funded by Youth Arts Queensland. The exhibition showcased many emerging artists alongside many established local artists. The exhibition drew a crowd consisting of many state and local dignitaries; providing emerging artists with exhibition preparation skills and networks. As an artist he has exhibited earlier works in several group exhibitions. In 2011 Jack was a participant in the Wesfarmer’s Arts Indigenous Leadership Program at the National Gallery of Australia. In May 2012, Jack held his first solo exhibition at C.1907 Gallery & Art Space titled 'the First & Last Fleet’. It spoke of the most significant moment in Australian history when the First Fleet landed on Australian shores, changing the landscape, both social and material, forever. He has also donated several artworks to a special bursary created in honour of Thapich Dr Gloria Fletcher James AO. The bursary funds are awarded to young and emerging Western Cape artists wishing to expand their career opportunities and industry connections. In August 2012 Jack held a solo exhibition throughout the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair, with the Indigenous Beautiful Art Spaces programme partnered with Art Queensland, the Cairns Regional Council and the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair. The exhibition was held at Vibe Bar and Lounge in Cairns. The exhibition will travel in October to another venue in Cairns, the Salthouse, for further display. In October 2012 Jack organised a charitable art auction for the Declan Crouch Fund in partnership with the Dr Edward Koch Foundation. The Declan Crouch Fund Charity Art Auction was auctioneered by The Hon. Warren Entsch MP and raised well over $4,000 for the Fund to go towards their great work with Suicide Prevention and Awareness Raising in the Cairns community.

O’Connor exhibited in the 2006 'Gatherings II’ exhibition in Brisbane and states in the accompanying catalogue that “mother-of-pearl is such a beautiful medium.

Biography
Growing up in a household where Super 8 was like another member of our family, my fascination with photography and cinema was nurtured. Intrigued by my father’s profession as a psychologist and my sister’s craft as an actor I wanted to fuse the study of the mind with the power of expression. My exhibited works have since been collaborations with actors to communicate the strength of storytelling through still images. I graduated with Honours in Photomedia from the University of New South Wales, College of Fine Arts. My body of work Betwixt (The Black Show) was the first photographic exhibition to be held at the prestigious Roslyn Packer Theatre. Beyond the gallery walls I’ve continued my path into film and television, shooting stills for Australia’s leading productions. Through my work I look to uncover the bigger picture within the smallest moments. Writers: Luke Stambouliah Date written: 2012 Last updated: 2016

Biography
Beaver Lennon was born in Adelaide in 1988 and has lived most of his life in Ceduna, South Australia. He is of the Mirning people on his grandmother’s side and the Antikirinjara people of South Australia on his grandfather’s side. His grandmother Verna Lawrie and his late mother, Bernadette Lennon-Lawrie, are also well-respected artists. His grandfather Stanley Lennon was also a talented artist who greatly influenced Beaver; he passed away in 2003. His great-grandmother Jessie Lennon was a published author who wrote two books, I’m the one that know this country and I’ve been walking everywhere. These were recollections of living in and around Coober Pedy in the early 1920s and were written in her own voice and illustrated with photographs. They are especially important today for offering insight into the history of this regional area from an Aboriginal perspective. Beaver began painting for the Ceduna Aboriginal Arts and Cultural Centre in 2005. His earlier paintings were influenced by his grandmother’s Dreaming stories of the Bunda Cliffs along the Great Australian Bight (SA), including images of whales and ocean themes. He is now more influenced by his grandfather’s Dreaming of Malu Tjuta (many kangaroos) and some of his paintings include depictions of kangaroos within vast open landscapes. Lennon also paints portraits and in 2008, after a workshop with Siv Grava and John Turpie, he completed My Jammu, My Grandfather, a portrait of Stanley Lennon. Lennon paints in a realistic style, and his landscapes capture the distinctive open skies and vast expanses of country with an extraordinary degree of depth, inviting the viewer to step into his world. He favours the effects of early morning or late afternoon light, with romantic skies of rolling clouds that reflect the colours found underfoot. Through astute observational recordings he maps out his deep connection to country. His work has been included in 'Our Mob’ at the Adelaide Festival Centre’s Artspace in 2006, 2007 and 2008. He was a finalist in the 2006 Fleurieu Peninsula Youth Scholarship Award and in 2007 he was given an Honoured Citizen Award for his service to the arts during the Reconciliation Week celebrations in Ceduna. In 2008 he was a finalist in the prestigious Xstrata Coal Emerging Indigenous Art Award at the Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland Art Gallery. His work has also been included in group shows at Tandanya, the National Aboriginal Cultural Institute in Adelaide and in Port Lincoln at Kuju Art Centre (2008) as well as at Red Poles Gallery in McLaren Vale (2007 and 2009). Lennon also completed a series of commissioned murals on public buildings around Ceduna, c. 2008. Writers: Cumpston, Nici Note: Date written: 2008 Last updated: 2010 Status: peer-reviewed

Biography
Tina Tran is a self-taught Sydney-based artist who explores abstract forms in the media of drawing and painting. Whether using acrylic paint on canvas or pencil, coloured graphite, watercolour or ink on various paper stocks, Tran creates organic and undulating abstract forms that meld together.Born in Sydney in 1985, Tran began her art practice in 2003, receiving her first accolade when her High School Certificate (HSC) body of work entitled, When you see a flower and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment was selected for ArtExpress 2003 and exhibited at Sydney city’s David Jones window display in December 2003 and Hazelhurst Regional Arts and Crafts Centre in January 2004. After completing high school in 2003, Tran studied for a Bachelor of Business at the University of Technology, Sydney; a decision that temporarily curtailed her art practice. Upon completing her degree in 2006, Tran refocused on the development of her art making, supporting herself through part-time work. Buoyed by this new creative focus in her life, in late 2007 Tran joined a group of like-minded friends and family members residing in the Cabramatta and Canley Vale precincts of Sydney, to establish the Popperbox collective. Inspired by group painting performances by art collectives broadcasted over the internet, the Popperbox collective became a vehicle to creatively collaborate on a variety of public and interactive art projects. In April 2008, in conjunction with Fairfield City Council, Popperbox performed a live drawing performance entitled Glassbox, at Cabravale Leisure Centre in Cabramatta, Sydney. In addition to the work of the Popperbox collective, Tran has had an active solo practice. Tina Tran brings an emotive and intuitive approach to her abstract painting and drawing. Recent success in her solo endeavours has been reflected in a number of group exhibitions throughout 2008 including “Populous Cast” at Global Gallery (Sydney), “Black and Blue 2” at Pigment Gallery (Melbourne) and “Square 1 Art Auction” at Mori Gallery (Sydney).

Biography
A young Indigenous artist, Jessica Birk was born in 1984 on the Northern Beaches of Sydney where she was still living in 2008. Birk is a proud descendant of the Yaegl people, from the Northern Rivers of NSW, The Clarence Valley. Through her art Birk asserts herself as a contemporary storyteller of the Yaegl people and her art-making practice allows her to explore to what extent she can imprint her identity and personal experiences, as well as the notions of belonging and familial lineage, upon the imagery, the colours, the patterns and the forms in her work.Birk has a strong connection to both the Northern Beaches and the Northern Rivers areas of NSW and her work focuses on these areas and aims to articulate her feelings of belonging that are tied to these places. Having grown up on the Northern Beaches Birk has grown to know and respect the area over time and her connection to the Northern Rivers is through her mother’s family, a legacy and gift given to her as a descendant of that land. For Birk, the notion of belonging is an abstract one and she aims to develop a visual language that enables her audience to grasp the implicitly rich understanding of a landscape where belonging means knowing your country intimately. As such, every component of her images have a meaning where the colours, the patterns and the forms all combine to visually articulate the 'holistic’ experience of the landscapes. Says Birk “This understanding of country allows for a two-way communication to evolve, between those belonging and the country to which they belong. Country is spoken to, sung to, loved and mourned, just as if were a family member. This personification of the landscape allows a more personal interpretation of what lies in it; everything then has a purpose and a story to tell, from the colours of the landscape right down to the stones within it.” The imagery Birk uses serves as a metaphor for the strength and enduring quality of the ancestral presence within the landscape. She says, “By doing so I want to show that in order to tap into this collective wisdom and knowledge of the land you need to learn to love and look after it as a living entity.An 'abstract’ landscape becomes intrinsically more literal through a 'holistic’ representation of a landscape and thus includes its aesthetic qualities, its colours, textures and representational forms, but also its past, its future and its stories.” In 2006 Birk graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Printmaking) from the College of Fine Arts at the University of New South Wales. Since 2003 she has participated in a number of group exhibitions and in 2006 she had a solo show at Manly Regional Art Gallery entitled 'Born Belonging’ and was a finalist in the Parliament of NSW Indigenous Art Prize.

Biography
Cedric Varcoe was born in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1984 and later moved to Port Pirie, South Australia. He has family connections to the Raukkan of Point Pierce and is of the Narangga Ngarrindjeri language grou He began painting from the age of eight, inspired by observing his mother, aunties, uncles and sister paint. He works mainly in acrylics on canvas and his subjects are usually “lizards, snakes and stylized male figures” (artist statement, 2008). In 2008 Varcoe completed a mural in a cell at the Port Pirie Police Station, which he hopes will encourage young people who are arrested by the police to see a different future for themselves and inspire them to express themselves using creative means. 2008 also saw his work exhibited in the 'Our Mob’ exhibition at the Adelaide Festival Centre. Not content to remain in the media of painting, Varcoe is exploring other areas of the visual arts including sculpture and printmaking. Writers: Allas, Tess Date written: 2009 Last updated: 2011

Biography
Alice Lang’s work unfolds from various points of mixed-media and does so by alternating disciplines that encompass painting, drawing, and craft-form objects. Lang’s work underlie key surfacing themes within her practice that consider the emotive aspects of materiality, the historical & current roles of feminism, and in recent works the tension of identity constructs and fragmentation between our virtual and physical selves. While her art-objects take into account material expression between form and formlessness, allure and repulsion, the known and the unknown. Her signature crafted forms are able to tease the relationship between the decorative and the grotesque, previously she has experimented using techniques such as macramé and other fibre crafts throughout her oeuvre. Lang seemingly represents an alternate contemporary populist range of craft materials such as puff paints, and bright fluorescent thread. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours (Visual Arts) First Class from Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, QLD, Australia (2004).

Siwerski works with digital media and textiles. He creates large-scale sculptural installations that include many embroidered elements,combining his skills in digital modelling, sculpture and machine sewing. His interest in textiles developed from his exploration of gender politics and fashion. He is interested in “decoding masculinities…breaking down common beliefs and challenging socialconstructions”. Although fascinated by a variety of digital technologies including 3dmodelling and printing, video and programming, Siwerski requires a more physical element to his practice as well. “…at art school in the digital department and I dearlymissed a hands on sculptural approach. I also strongly believe in creating your own processes and experimenting as much as possible. So I merged the two, the computerplatform and working in textiles”.

Biography
Adrian Hill, landscape architect and artist, was born in Montreal, Canada in 1982. He is the brother of Justin Hill and first son of Bruce and Helen Hill, who encouraged his interest in art and supported him in his studies. Hill attended high school in Stanmore, Sydney. His art teacher Neville Dawson had a great influence on Hill’s artistic focus and the two remained friends. In 2004 Hill received a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from the University of New South Wales. His theoretical training and knowledge was complemented by work experience with artist/landscape architect Anton James in Sydney. In 2008 Hill was an associate in Terras Landscape Architects in Newcastle. After moving to Newcastle, Adrian Hill created one major artwork and coordinated several others. Second Nature (2008), Hill’s first significant temporary public artwork, developed in collaboration with Nicola Xavier, was included in the public art project 'Back to the City’. Taking its name and inspiration from American author Michael Pollan’s Second Nature: A Gardener’s Education (1991), the Hill and Xavier piece made use of a robust, large-framed structure onto which was stretched geo-fabric bearing a stenciled William Morris flower pattern around lines from Pollan’s text. Hessian matting was implanted with wheatgrass seeds and hung vertically. The wheatgrass was watered and germinated up the wall, evolving throughout the three week exhibition period. Hill’s insights into landscape remediation played a key role in the creation of this work, which he says was “about developing a use for a dysfunctional space and giving meaning or creating 'place’.” (2008 pers. comm.) Second Nature received a highly commended prize at the completion of the exhibition; the site is expected to become a community public garden and a memorial to Australian horticulturalist Judy Cuppaidge. The most significant of Hill’s curated exhibitions to date is 'Small Places’, a temporary art series instigated in 2005 to focus on Newcastle’s City Centre, and in this respect not dissimilar to Steffen Lehmann’s 'Back to the City’. At the time of writing, Adrian Hill was active in Newcastle’s Australian Architecture Association chapter; was chair of the Trees in Newcastle (TIN) committee, a Hunter based non-government organisation and community environmental organisation; and sat on the Newcastle City Council’s Public Art Advisory Committee (2008-10). He was also involved in the development of a temporary architectural exhibition space within disused shop-fronts in Newcastle’s central business district.

Brenton McKenna, Ywarru graphic artist and novelist, was born in Broome in 1982 and lived there until he was fifteen. McKenna was attracted to comics at an early age: when he was eight years old, a Ghost Rider comic book came into his possession and marked the starting point of his love of drawing. He taught himself to draw during his teenage years by copying images from comics and learning from a cartooning book by Chris Hart that was given to him by a high school art teacher when he was fifteen. McKenna’s drawing skills flourished in the following years when he moved to Victoria and completed high school at Wodonga Catholic College, and were further consolidated when he undertook a period of study (Diploma of Visual Arts program) at the Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE in Wangaratta between 2000 and 2002. Over the years he refined his skills through practice and experimentation, working with pencil, blue lead and art liners, as well as digital tools such as Photoshop and Corel Painter.Writing and illustrating are always interconnected in McKenna’s practice. His dedication to the form of the graphic novel is underpinned by his interest in the way text and image can interact; in the way a narrative can be brought to life for a reader through both visual and textual components. He draws inspiration from a range of sources, including Aboriginal mythology, folklore from a range of cultures, urban history and legend, war correspondence and military stories, science fiction and the natural world. His main sources of inspiration, however, are his memories of growing up in Broome. McKenna speaks of his voracious imagination and sense of curiosity about a range of topics, which often entails extrapolating fantastical stories and circumstances from everyday situations. As a result, he was often in trouble at school for not paying attention, but he continued to nourish the habit: “Now every day I actively try and create stories, characters and scenes out of everyday things I see and hear no matter where I am” (McKenna pers. comm. 2009).In 2002 McKenna began working on the manuscript and illustrations for a graphic novel titled Ubby’s Underdogs and the Legend of the Phoenix Dragon, under contract with Magabala Books. In 2002 he had just moved to Adelaide and started working on the novel to cope with his homesickness for the life and people of Broome. The novel revolves around the experiences of Ubby, a character inspired by McKenna’s grandmother, Alberta Dolby. The story is set in Broome, in a period in the town’s history when it was overcoming the effects of WWII – Broome had endured a Japanese air-raid attack in 1942. McKenna has drawn on family stories “about Nan and her sisters getting into fights and causing trouble when she was young… I took my knowledge of my grandmother, placed the character in a situation, then I tried to imagine what I think my nan would have done to hopefully project the character’s (Ubby’s) attitude and actions” (McKenna, pers comm. 2009). In the novel, Ubby is a smart and street-wise Aboriginal girl and leader of the 'Underdogs’, a group of ruffian youths who roam the streets of Broome. It follows Ubby’s experiences with Sai Fong, a girl who has recently arrived in Broome from Beijing, and their encounters and adventures are imbued with themes from Chinese and Aboriginal mythology. The production of the novel was assisted by an Australia Council for the Arts grant, awarded in 2004, and a Project Development Grant from the South Australian Youth Arts Board, awarded in 2005. In that year McKenna also began a traineeship with Arts SA, which he completed in 2006. In 2008 he was awarded an Australian Society of Authors Mentorship, which saw him benefit from the guidance and advice of Wolfgang Bylsma, an editor with graphic novel publisher Gestalt Publishing. Magabala Books’ publishing manager, Rachael Christensen, also provided McKenna with a great deal of support over a number of years as he established himself as a graphic novelist. In 2008 McKenna participated in the 'Our Metro Mob’ Exhibition at Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute in Adelaide. In 2009 he was working on a number of book illustration projects, including Living Along Side the Animals: Anangu Way, written by Eileen Wani Wingfield and Emily Munyungka Austin (IAD Press), and two educational graphic novels to be published by Laguna Bay Publishing (planned for publication in 2011). In 2009 he was living in Adelaide with his partner and children, and working in the South Australian Government Department of Premier and Cabinet.

Biography
Dale Harding was born in 1982 in the coal-mining town of Moranbah, Queensland, and grew up on his parents’ nearby cattle property. The son of Kate and David Harding, he is a descendant of the Bidjara, Garingbal and Ghungalu people, and also acknowledges the Gungari people of Central Queensland. Harding’s artistic talent was recognised early and he was encouraged to participate in afterschool workshops where children received painting lessons as a reward for completing homework. He learnt from local artist Mena Sebastian, who inspired him to start willfully creating work when he was in the fifth grade. Harding began receiving commissions for paintings soon after, resulting from the recognition his work received in the Moranbah State High School annual art show. His practice at the time encompassed a broader Indigenous aesthetic popular of the era and was bought by teachers, community members and cultural visitors to the school. “That was the beginning of the boom,” he explains. “This Aboriginal aesthetic that people were consuming really heavily.” In hindsight, Harding has conceded that his naïve depictions of dots and marine life weren’t true to his lived experience. “I was a little kid and I didn’t realise the politics behind it. Everything was almost fair fodder in that context. I now know that a lot of the stuff I was painting, I didn’t have access to – that wasn’t my reality.” The artist recalls habitually passing up playtime as a child, preferring an afternoon spent making work with older locals. He was introduced to ceramics this way and undertook his first lessons on a pottery wheel at age thirteen. This preoccupation with art, rather than sports, rendered him somewhat of a social misfit with his peers in town. In his late teens Harding became heavily involved in the community radio station initiated by a local youth worker, a project he describes as “a safe place for all the kids who didn’t fit in”, an alternate venture in which interested locals could invest their energies. Keen to experience life outside Moranbah, Harding left the small town in 2001 and headed to the Sunshine Coast. Throughout the next three years he experimented with oils for the first time and worked with timber. With a view to one day enroll in art school, Harding accepted employment with the Bristol paint company as a way of remaining in touch with colour and paint and continued his career in this industry after moving to Brisbane in 2003. In 2008 he applied for the Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art course (CAIA) at Griffith University’s Queensland College of Art. With Jennifer Herd as course convenor and staff including Bianca Beetson and Laurie Nilsen, Harding was promptly introduced to a number of influential Brisbane-based creatives. “ProppaNOW meetings are regularly held there in one of the classrooms,” he recounts. “We’d be students having a cup of tea or working away and hear these fiery blow-ups and heated discussions echoing around the unit.” Harding has acted as an apprentice to several prominent artists since first assisting Tony Albert in his studio in 2009. His graduate show and first solo exhibition 'Colour By Number’ was curated by Albert (also a CAIA graduate) and held at Metro Arts in Brisbane in 2012. The exhibition introduced the public to a selection of Harding’s work and unveiled his skill for the ‘gentle arts’ and ability to extort a powerful impact from calculated simplicity. 'Colour By Number’ explores the dislocation and discontent among the young, black and queer community through a “provocative subversion of the domestic art of cross-stitching”1. Works such as And All Who Enter (2010) and A Cock’atwo and a Kangaroo (2012) employ tongue-in-cheek visual puns to relay homoerotic connotations. The artist has described these works as offerings to the community, intended to bring some humour to a touchy topic in effort to desensitise the negative language callously used to reference homosexuality. The Griffith University Art Collection acquired his work Brown Family Values (2010) in 2012. The title ‘Colour by Number’ is a reference to Harding’s celebrated 2009 work Unnamed, created in response to his Nanna’s recount of growing up on Woorabinda Aboriginal Mission in Central Queensland. A system of the Department of Native Affairs in Queensland at the time had her referred to by an alphanumeric number, rather than her given name. Unnamed is a king plate with his Nanna’s identification number, 'W38’, beaten into it. It is a likeness of the gorgets used by 19th-Century colonial authorities to identify Indigenous leaders.2 Harding works in whatever medium is necessary to convey his message and in the case of Unnamed this material choice is significant. The use of lead, an element with no precious metal value, symbolises the burden and toxicity of the demoralising alphanumeric identification system. Unnamed was Harding’s first work purchased for a major public collection, with the breastplate being gifted to the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art by Julie Ewington, through the Queensland Art Gallery Foundation 2013. Unnamed has since been exhibited as part of 'My Country, I Still Call Australia Home: Contemporary Art from Black Australia’ at the QAGOMA in 2013, curated by Bruce McLean. Inspired by unwritten histories and unknown Aboriginal perspectives, Harding aims to depose convention in order to write these realities into the books. “These histories and these pieces of inherited knowledge often don’t extend beyond the family unit, or the wider Aboriginal community.”2 As a student of the CAIA course, Harding was encouraged to explore his family background and ancestry, as well as his own identity and aspirations for the future. He began formally recording the oral histories of his Indigenous relatives, and was moved by the courageous stories of strength and their associated pain. Nanna Margaret Lawton, his maternal grandmother, was named NAIDOC Female Elder of the Year in 2012 for her work in improving her community in Rockhampton and the Fitzroy Basin region. Harding’s Nanna Margaret has relayed tales of tragedy and triumph in her own life growing up ‘in service’ on Woorabinda Mission, on pastoral stations and in the homes of established families around Central Queensland. Works influenced by the histories of Nanna Margaret Lawton and her mother, Nanna Effie Priestly, include Harding’s contributions to the 2013 exhibition 'String theory: Focus on contemporary Australian art’ at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. The three artworks selected for the innovative fibre and craft-based exhibition depict narratives of exploitation and injustices committed against young Aboriginal women who were forcibly contracted into servitude. Harding uses traditionally domestic artforms to tell tales of vile misconduct, discreetly overturning the status quo and displaying the hidden truth. White Collared (2013) comprises a selection of vintage crochet collars – the kind previously found on the uniforms of girls in service. Here the artist has tampered with the readymade by adding rawhide and saddlery hardware, comparing the supposed wearers to livestock to comment on their mistreatment and inferior social status. Bright Eyed Little Dormitory Girls (2013) consists of a series of hessian sacks, referencing the crude dresses that Aboriginal children on the mission were forced to wear as punishment for ‘misbehaviour’. This work recalls the penalty inflicted on Harding’s grandmother when she dared try to defend herself against the unwanted advances of her employer. The sacks were coarse and abrasive and often left the children’s delicate skin mottled with sores. In an attempt to retrospectively alleviate the pain Harding has tenderly added a soft, opulent mohair neckline. In a similar line of comment, Of One’s Own Country (2011) also alludes to stolen innocence and cases of hushed-up abuse within the system. The more conceptual artwork incorporates an oxidised ball of steel wool, reminiscent of pubic hair, slowly but constantly corroding away to the shelf below.3 From it a single needle and metallic thread hangs precariously, suggestive of the weight of what is left unsaid. Harding has detailed the constant protocol attached to his storytelling, with awareness of the responsibility involved in relaying other peoples’ histories. He seeks consultation and permission and is conscious of the way in which he contributes these perspectives. “These stories, these lived experiences, they don’t belong to me,” he clarifies, “But the history and the emotion now does.” Just like the potent verbal histories passed onto Harding – and from him, in turn, to the audience – his artistic skills were also handed down from family. His mother Kate, who is a multi-skilled textile and fibre artist, taught him exquisite embroidery and cross-stitch techniques. His father David is a man off the land who shared his extensive knowledge of the properties of timber. Harding’s woodworking is heavily influenced by the traditional practices of artifact making in native Queensland timbers, which he learnt from family Elders and his community. One of Harding’s greatest career highlights to date is his involvement in collaborative works with Tony Albert. In 2009 Harding was invited to participate in Albert’s collective project, Pay Attention, an installation incorporating individual works by 25 Aboriginal artists from around Australia. Spelling the words ‘PAY ATTENTION MOTHER FUCKERS’, the text-based work references a lithograph by American artist Bruce Nauman, held in the National Gallery of Australia, and calls out the questionable collection policies of major Australian institutions.4 In this work Harding created the letter ‘H’ – “for homo.” “The work was about bringing together all the different generations and voices into the one work to make a statement of community,” he reflects. “That was the first time I’d been asked to lend my voice to a broader discussion.” Pay Attention was exhibited at City Gallery, Wellington, in 2010 and made its way to the National Gallery of Australia as part of unDisclosed (2012). In 2012 Harding won the Griffith University Graduate Art Show Espresso GARAGE award for the work No Blame Rests with Them. He received a Bachelor of Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art from the Griffith University Queensland College of Art in 2012, completing Honours in Fine Art in 2013. He was a finalist in the Macquarie Group Emerging Artist Prize in Decemeber 2013, and in April 2014 was selected by Vernon Ah Kee for the Emerging Artist Finalist’s category of the Redlands Konica Minolta Art Prize. In February 2014 Harding took part in a Cicada Press Aboriginal Print Residency at UNSW, producing a pink ‘cross-stitch’ etching. He also exhibited at The Cross Art Projects in March 2014 as part of Sydney’s SafARI program. His work punishment tree: Queensland Crucifix references a method of torture once used by authorities in the Sunshine State against Aboriginal inmates on missions. The hardwood ‘punishment tree’ on Woorabinda Mission was used as an anchor, with holes gouged through it and steel bars inserted to form a horizontal cross. Inmates were chained to the ends of the metal bars and left to perish.5 Harding’s reinterpretation involves wax pillar candles that delineate the concept of wasting away. At the time of writing the artist is working towards exhibiting punishment tree in a second incarnation, accompanied by the work’s powerful audio component. Harding’s practice has been commended with an episode of Colour Theory with Richard Bell, which first aired nationally in Australia on NITV in March 2014. 1 Howell, Angelita (2012) ‘Colour by Number’, Artlink, Vol 32 No 4, 2012. 2 Harding, Dale (2013) Dale Harding | Artist Interview [video recording], QAGOMA TV, June 1st 2013 tv.qagoma.qld.gov.au/2013/05/29/dale-harding-artist-interview/ 3 Allas, Tess (2013) ‘A Stitch in Time’, string theory: focus on contemporary Australian art [exhibition catalogue], pp.42-45.

Biography
Painter, drawer, printmaker and installation artist Frances Belle Parker was born in 1982 in Dubbo, New South Wales. She is from the Yaegl people of northern New South Wales. Her mother, Lenore Parker, grew up on Ulgundahi Island in the Clarence River near Maclean on the New South Wales north coast and it was to Maclean that the family returned when Parker was still in pre-school. Ulgundahi Island was established as an Aboriginal Mission when the Scottish settlers moved into the surrounding area in the late 1800s. The Aboriginal people of this area and from as far away as Nambucca and Bowraville (NSW) were moved off their lands and onto the island. On the island the people were able to live a relatively 'free’ existence. They were able to continue their traditional practices even though they were under the ever-vigilant eye of the Aboriginal Protection Board. It is because of this continued cultural life that Ulgundahi contains many places of Aboriginal significance and claims a women’s sacred site.Parker began her artistic career in 2000, the same year she won the Blake Prize for Religious Art with an acrylic on canvas work titled The Journey. She was the youngest person and first Aboriginal artist to win this award. The Journey depicted a stylised Rainbow Serpent raising itself high with a Christian crucifix surrounded in a glowing light sitting atop the serpent’s head. The 2000 Blake Prize was judged by Fr Anthony Kelly, Dr Ross Mellick and Imants Tillers.Mostly, however, Parker’s work is informed by the Ulgundahi landscape and the family, community and cultural stories and memories that the island holds. Enrolling in a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing at the College of Fine Arts (COFA – University of New South Wales) in 2001 enabled Parker to explore the Ulgundahi themes through scholarly research and creative practise. She completed this undergraduate degree in 2003 and continued her academic achievements at Southern Cross University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Hons). Ulgundahi has remained a constant throughout Parker’s post-university career. In 2007 she won the COFA Professional Development Award for her painting The vein of our existence at the 2007 'Parliament of NSW Indigenous Art Prize’. In her artist statement in the accompanying catalogue Parker says of this work that she has depicted Beiirrimba (Clarence River) “by layering both a landscape view and an aerial view, representing my connection with the river”.The COFA Award provided Parker with a two-week residency in the COFA flat, the opportunity to work with a master artisan staff member and a solo show. Parker chose to work in printmaking with Michael Kempson. She had never worked in printmaking before with the exception of some introductory lessons during her undergraduate life. Michael Kempson introduced Parker to etching and lino-cut reduction prints. The result of this residency was her first solo exhibition, 'Identifying Ulgundahi’.In 2007 Djon Mundine curated Parker’s work into the group exhibition 'Eye Saw The Sun’ at Lismore Regional Gallery, and in 2008 into 'Ngadhu, Ngulili, Ngeaninyagu – A Personal History of Aboriginal Art’ at Campbelltown Arts Centre. In 2009 the Lismore Regional Gallery commissioned Parker to produce a New Media work to be shown as a stand-alone exhibition at Lismore Regional Gallery in August and September 2009.The 2000 Blake Prize and the 2007 COFA Award are just two of a number of awards that Parker has received since embarking on an artistic career. In 2004 her installation Sorry = Reconciliation was Highly Commended in COFA’s 'Jenny Birt Award’; in 2006 she was a finalist in the 23rd Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award with her installation of 10,000 painted wooden clothes pegs fashioned into a map of Ulgundahi Island titled Mapping Ulgundahi; and in 2007 she was Highly Commended in the Bundjalung Art Award and was the winner of the Youth Award Category for the 'Drawing Together Art Prize’ in Canberra and the Overall Winner and Visual Arts Category winner of the 'ABC Northcoast Artsnest Award for Emerging Artists’.Parker’s work is held in the permanent collections of the Federal Department of Health and Ageing – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and in Grafton Regional Gallery. In 2009 Parker was living in Maclean and working as the Indigenous Arts Development Officer for Arts Northern Rivers as well as continuing with her work as a visual artist.

Biography
Kate Mitchell lives and works in Sydney. In 2006, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) (Photomedia) from the College of Fine Arts (UNSW) and completed a Masters of Fine Arts in 2008.Her practice includes performance-based videos, projections and objects, drawings and conceptual offerings. Her work has consistently played with the joke and the cartooning of violence. Across many videos she performs the Disneyland impossible: cutting a hole around yourself with a saw; walking on a barrel; climbing a ladder while cutting rungs. Her performances are magical to watch, shocking and brave. In the work 9 to 5, for example, Mitchell becomes a sun dial staying out in the sun all day while time passes for her, marked by her own shadow.Mitchell works on the limit of the acceptable and normal. She finds the irrational in life in order to reflexively question herself, her material reality, and her place within a society in which we all constantly perform.

Biography
Landscape artist Carla Hananiah (nee Minogue) was born in August 1982 in rural New Zealand, the eldest of three sisters. In 1998, aged sixteen, she moved with her family to Sydney, Australia, where she completed the last two years of high school. Although most of her family returned to New Zealand in 2000, Carla and one sister chose to remain in Australia. After high school she enrolled at the College of Fine Arts (COFA), University of New South Wales, gaining her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2004. In 2008 she returned to her alma mater to enroll in a Masters of Art, majoring in painting and then a Masters of Fine Art by research. Her additional studies in painting reignited her passion for the medium and helped develop her style and technique, which she describes as semi-abstract, colourful and painterly. During her studies Hananiah entered art competitions and group exhibitions, winning recognition and awards. She was a finalist for the National Tertiary Art Prize in November 2008, and in 2009 was a finalist in the Face of Compassion Art Prize, the Mosman Art Prize, the Lloyd Rees Art Prize, Live Life Villages Art Prize, and the Waverly Art Prize. In 2009 she also received the Second Runner Up Prize at the UNSW Arc Annual Exhibition at Kudos Gallery. Her paintings explore the classical theme of the relationship between humans and nature. She seeks to convey a sense of 'overwhelming beauty’ from being 'in the land’, hoping her audience might question who created it. Her method involves pouring the oil paint onto preferably large-scale canvas or board, and allowing it to form a pattern, before then using the brush to complete the process. She believes this technique allows her colours to flow and intertwine in ways that suggest being 'in the land’. In addition to landscape painting, Hananiah explores other subject matter and employs media, such as photography, etching and drawing. Hananiah’s creative routine involves waking up early to walk and watch the sunrise. Later, in her studio she recalls these sensations. In 2010 she held a solo exhibition, 'Sublime’, at Artereal in Rozelle, Sydney. The Macquarie Bank bought a work from this exhibition for their collection. Hananiah, who supplements her art practice with work in the retail industry, lives in Sydney with her husband Isaac Hananiah (married 2005).

Biography
Andrea Fisher was born in Brisbane in 1981 and is from the Birri Gubba language group from central Queensland. Her paternal family, the Fishers, were moved to Cherbourg in southern Queensland in the early 1900s when the settlement was known as Barambah. In 2001, Fisher graduated from the Queensland College of Art (QCA) with a degree in Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art. Her professional development since then has been aided in part by her involvement with proppaNOW, an artists collective that includes Tony Albert , her contemporary at QCA, and other more senior artists such as Richard Bell , Gordon Hookey and Jennifer Herd . Fisher has created work in mixed media and more consistently, wearable jewellery – for example, brooches based on traditional shield designs from Wakka Wakka country. More recently she has produced a series of works consisting of copper wire woven into traditional bags. One of these works was preselected for the 2007 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award and exhibited at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT). Also in 2007, Fisher began work on a confronting series of wearable cast iron shackles, such as were used to restrain Aboriginal people on the Queensland frontier. Although specialising in jewellery, Fisher is primarily a visual 3D artist who describes her practice as one which applies “a sense of Aboriginal history to the materials and aesthetic of jewellery making, object and installation”. Fisher has exhibited work at the Queensland Art Gallery, Craft Queensland and Fireworks Gallery. Writers: Browning, Daniel Date written: 2008 Last updated: 2011

Birth Place
Brisbane, Qld, Australia
Biography
Tony Albert was born in Brisbane in 1981. He is one of the longest serving members of the Brisbane-based artists collective, proppaNOW. His career has focused on the experience of displaced urban Aboriginal people who are alienated by history from their traditional country, language and material culture – that is, the demographic majority of Aboriginal people in Australia. His Campfire – a bar heater, with electrical cord in the Aboriginal colours, is a comedic take on the modern urban Aboriginal experience. The campfire, a gathering place in both traditional and contemporary Aboriginal culture, is still a collective experience where knowledge is shared and exchanged. It is relevant to note that Albert’s father’s country is around Cardwell in north Queensland, the traditional land of the Garimay rainforest people with whom he identifies. His family relationships extend further, to Palm Island off the Queensland city of Townsville. Albert was among the first to graduate with a degree in Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art from the Queensland College of Art (QCA) in 2004. Australian Art Collector magazine has named Albert as one of the country’s most collectable artists several times. Albert toys repetitively with popular culture and the representation of Aboriginal people within it. His most recent work recycles genuine Aboriginalia, including kitsch, mass-produced objects such as plaster heads and black velvet paintings. He alters the context in which these objects are understood – most dramatically in his installation work Headhunter, which was purchased by the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 2007. The point he makes is that Aboriginal people’s bodies, literally and metaphorically, are hunted down and commodified. He has since embarked on a shield-making project with members of his family in Cardwell. He was preselected for the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award in 2006 and 2007 and his work was consequently hung in the exhibition at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT) alongside that of many of his peers, including his acknowledged mentor Richard Bell . In 2007 Albert was the recipient of the $15,000 acquisitive Sunshine Coast Art Prize for his photographic series Gangsta Supastar , in which he acts out the role of 50perCENT, an identifiably Aboriginal hip hop artist/gangsta whose posse includes such imaginary personas as Lil Gin, Murri J Blige and Notorious B.E.L.L.Major group exhibitions include: 'The Visitors’, Penrith Regional Gallery (2007); the 2007 Arc Biennial, QUT Art Museum; 'The Revenge of Genres’, Les Brasseurs in Liege Belgium and Cité International des Arts, Paris (2007); the 23rd and 24th Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Island Art Award, MAGNT (2006 & 2007) and 'Thresholds of Tolerance’, Australian National University, Canberra in 2007. His work has been collected by the National Museum of Australia, Caloundra Regional Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Griffith Artworks, Brisbane.

Biography
Yamatji/Nyoongar artist Glenn Pilkington was born in Perth, Western Australia, in 1981. He spent most of his childhood in the Kimberley region before his family moved to Bunbury in 1994. He moved back to Perth in 2000 and began developing his art practice soon after. In 2008 he completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Edith Cowan University, majoring in Printmaking.The contrast between his childhood in remote country in the north of the state, and the urban environment of Perth is a foundational concern for Pilkington. His work derives from his reflections upon the impact of this social and environmental transition upon his subjectivity as an Indigenous Australian. He writes:“Coming from strong Aboriginal and European heritage, my work explores displacement in both the emotional and physical context, loss of connections to both places and people in an attempt to place myself as an individual… Through the investigation of spaces and places, both natural and urban, my work explores the connection with country that I feel as an Aboriginal Australian living and working within an urban environment. The aesthetic of my work represents the peace I have trained myself to feel in the urban world in direct contrast to the years I have spent in 'traditional country’.” (artist’s statement, Mossenson Galleries 2006). Working predominantly in photomedia, Pilkington makes use of third generation digital technology to create images of urban environments which are then subjected to a studio-based digital editing process. This process usually involves the erosion of recognisable content to varying degrees, so that an abstracted pictorial structure emerges. Pilkington’s editing often obscures the spatial logic of the original scene such that aspects of the imagery are fragmented, mirrored and repeated. The urban settings are thereby transformed into shapes, vectors and planes that find an aesthetic harmony through symmetry and geometric patterning, or by centering points of curiosity that may have been marginal in the original image. These processes are underpinned by Pilkington’s explorations of the experience of travelling between the country and the city, tracing the passing of time, finding the familiar in the foreign, and sensing emotive resonances within spaces that echo places or moments from the past. Sarah Jane Pell, writing in the Xstrata Coal Emerging Indigenous Art Award 2008 Catalogue, suggests that “by using digital editing to re-present the urban terrain as an abstract topography, Pilkington emulates and respects his traditional relationship to country”. Pilkington has exhibited throughout Australia since 2006. He was a finalist in the Ergon Energy Central Queensland Art Award (2006), the Hutchins Art Prize (2007) and the Sunshine Coast Art Prize (2007). In 2007 he won The Linden Award, which is part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival, and in 2008 he was shortlisted for both the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award and the Xstrata Coal Emerging Indigenous Art Award. Exhibitions have included the solo show 'Urban Country’ at Mossenson Galleries in Melbourne (2007), ’30 Under 30: A New Generation of Indigenous Artists’ which was shown at Mossenson Galleries in Melbourne and Perth (2008), and 'Innovators 3’ at the Linden Centre for Contemporary Art in Melbourne (2008).

Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia
Biography
Tim Gregory was born in 1981 on a Hunter Valley property that for five generations – over a hundred and fifty years – had been home to a family of viticulturalists. His mother, Estelle, was born in Nice, Southern France, before immigrating with her family to Australia in the 1950s. Estelle started a boutique winery on the property and Tim spent his formative years sketching the landscape of the region. During his adolescence Gregory went on many trips to Europe and the United Kingdom, including one year in France, where he developed a passion for landscape painting. He was impressed by Neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, the Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich and the Pre-Raphaelites John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Gregory spent time in London’s National Gallery, the Louvre and other major galleries in Europe studying the Masters. Through his plein-air studies of European landscapes he developed a methodology and styling, which he then applied to the Australian landscape. Upon returning to Australia in 2000 he moved to Sydney to study a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the College of Fine Arts (COFA), University of New South Wales (UNSW), majoring in painting. He maintained a connection to the Hunter Valley while studying in Sydney, often making weekend trips back to the family property. While at university, Gregory experimented with a variety of techniques and media. By the time he started his honours year he had moved away from landscape painting towards theoretically informed video and time-based art. During this time he read widely in philosophy and art, being particularly drawn to the ideas of influential theorists such as Pierre Bourdieu, Giorgio Agamben, Marc Augé and Friedrich Nietzsche. Influenced by these theorists, Gregory explored new ways of working with his chosen media through concepts that invited a social critique of gender and politics. After graduating from Honours in 2004 he was awarded a scholarship to commence a PhD in Art Theory (2006-09) at the Centre for Contemporary Art and Politics, COFA. In 2008, Gregory collaborated with Elle Dixon on 'Sexdeath’, an exhibition at Chalk Horse Gallery in Surry Hills. Together Gregory and Dixon produced a video exploring the concepts of voyeurism and of public performance in personal relationships. Gregory has written on art for a variety of art journals including Eyeline and Broadsheet magazine . In 2007 he accepted a casual lecturing position in art theory at COFA.

Biography
Born in 1981 in Darlinghurst, New South Wales, Australia. Babet is the youngest of three brothers. His father, John, is of Sudeten-Deutsch, Czech and Austrian descent and was born in Vienna at the conclusion of WWII. His mother, Jennifer, is second generation Australian, of Italian and English descent. Babet grew up in the Sydney suburb of Castlecrag during the 1980s. Once inhabited by the Cameraigal people, this secluded bohemian enclave was settled in 1925 by Walter Burley and Marion Mahony Griffin. Both practising architects originally from Chicago, Marion worked alongside Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter was a respected 'Prairie School’ architect. They created an unprecedented built environment, as Burley Griffin put it “so that each individual can feel the whole landscape is his”. Babet attended Sydney Grammar School from 1986-99 where he developed a passion for the arts. From high school he went on to study Architecture at the University of Sydney, where he gained an understanding of the relationships between the framing of the human figure and space. After completing a Bachelor of Science (Architecture) degree in 2002, he decided to explore more openly creative fields. Noticing that a postgraduate degree in Film and Digital Media was available to him within the Faculty of Architecture, he decided to pursue this in 2003. This provided his first insight into the world of film and sound theory, where he found parallels between time and space which had begun to develop through his architectural studies. Upon completion of this course, Babet decided to take up full-time employment within film production to gain an understanding of the industry beyond the confines of the institutional environment. After a period of working in a film production company, he was uninspired by the formulaic nature of traditional film making in Australia. He felt that if he were to produce film, he would need to facilitate a unique perspective in his own right. He began to explore a conceptually driven path which could lend itself towards film, yet was more engaged with the medium and cultural, political and social commentary, rather than just the traditional aesthetics and values that he was seeing in the mainstream film industry. During 2004 Babet became associated with artistic collectives and individuals that proved influential in his creative exploration – emerging artists from spaces such as the Imperial Slacks, First Draft Gallery, Phat Space, Gallery Wren and Space 3 in Sydney. These establishments’ representation of emerging artists and freedom of expression was something particularly inspiring to Babet. In 2004 Babet enrolled at the College of Fine Arts Sydney (COFA), majoring in Photomedia, whilst also studying time-based-art. During this time he exhibited at Kudos Gallery and COFA Exhibition and Performance Space. In mid-2006, feeling somewhat constricted by the structural framework of fine arts education in Australia, and its method of defining a student’s work by 'medium’ rather than by the concepts and ideas, Babet went on exchange to Berlin. He studied at Universität der Künste (UDK). During this period he majored in Bildende Künst (conceptual art), studying under the guidance of such practising artists as Katharina Sieverding, David Lamelas and Laura Horelli. He also frequented classes within the faculty of Experimentelle Film Gestaultung (Experimental Film) where he studied under film directors Heinz Emigolz and Michael Busch. He found Berlin refreshing; firstly, this had to do with the notion presented by Berlin Universität der Künste that, as a student at this institution, one was already a practising artist. There was an abundance of freedom to experiment and, further, Babet found the chance to study under artists such as Prof. Katharina Sieverding, once a student of Joseph Beuys, an invaluable opportunity. Initially, Babet travelled to Berlin with a body of work dealing with notions of male identity and issues within this of a specifically Australian nature. Upon exhibiting at UDK Quergalerie in early 2007 he felt that these issues and cultural facets he was dealing with did not necessarily translate within a specifically European context. As a consequence, he began to explore other tangents and began thinking across a wider spectrum. At this point Babet sought to distance himself from Queer Theory as such, and from being identified in that respect. He wanted to take a direction that associated and dealt with queer issues but was not trapped within Queer Theory. Babet began to look at identity as a universal construct – drawing upon notions of truth, psyche and the subjective nature of memory, whilst also being concerned with society, politics, history and the natural environment, his work often finding a subject matter that played upon the dislocation between two opposing 'realities’. Whilst in the midst of his studies (mid-2007) Babet travelled through Europe, particularly Bosnia and Croatia, where he shot one video work that would be the beginnings of a new direction. In 2007 he furthered this direction, travelling to Heiligendamm to take part in, and shoot work associated with, the G8 Summit. During this time, Babet was further informing his art practice to speak in a more universal manner with a political undertone by frequenting theory based art establishments in Berlin – such as Kunst Werke (KW) and United Nations Plaza. These establishments provided him with insight into the critical theory of artists and writers who had emerged through the political climate at time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. In mid-2007 Babet participated in three exhibitions as part of the Universität der Künste 'Rundgang 07’. Within these three exhibitions, which featured in 'UDK Fakultät Bildende Kusnt’, 'UDK Fakultät Gestaultung’ and 'Volksbühne’, he exhibited various video installations. At the conclusion of this period he participated in an exhibition as part of KFZ Gelände , a self-initiated artists collective that occupied an empty warehouse space for a period of two days. At the end of the one year of official exchange, Babet continued to visit Universität der Künste as a guest student, attending critical theory lectures of Hito Steyrel, a postcolonial theorist from Goldsmith’s University in London. It was within Hito Steyrel’s own conceptual art practice, which steps outside the traditional framework of documentary film, that Babet found affiliation with the direction of a new work. With this impetus to further develop a major research based project in the Czech Republic, he decided to spend an extra year in Berlin, during which time he worked for a film production company for a period of six months. In early 2008 Babet began to undertake preliminary research for his project in the Czech Republic, whereby he made numerous visits to specific locations and began investigating the history of his ancestors. By mid-2008 he had enlisted the help of a Czech translator and begun the initial stages of shooting photographic and video footage. Upon exhausting all available resources in the Czech Republic he decided to return to Australia with the intention to undertake honours at COFA and source funding for further research and shooting in the Czech Republic. In late 2008 Babet screened work at the Chauvel Cinema in association with the COFA Annual Show. In 2009, as well as exhibiting at Horus & Deloris Contemporary Art Space, he contiued to further develop the first stages of the Czech Republic Project.

Biography
Joel Birnie is a descendant of the Tasmanian Fanny Cochrane Smith (1834-1905). In 1899 and 1903 Cochrane Smith recorded songs on wax cylinders. These cylinders are held in the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and were “the only recordings ever made of Tasmanian Aboriginal song and speech” (Clark, J., 'Fanny Cochrane Smith’ in Australian Dictionary of Biography Online). Birnie was born in the Adelaide Hills in 1980 and from a young age was surrounded by art and art practice, as both his parents were art teachers. Birnie states that he was “taught art by his parents” (pers. comm., March 2009) rather than having any formal art training. With the exception of working as a caretaker for a local Adelaide Hills bed and breakfast, Birnie worked in the arts in a variety of roles including working as an artist liaison officer and co-curator for the event 'Blak Nite', which was held during the 2003 and 2005 'Come Out Youth Festival’ and as a gallery attendant, collections assistant and photographer (among other jobs) at Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute in Adelaide from 2004 to 2007.Birnie was awarded the Encouragement Award in the 2001 'Tandanya/Arts SA Aboriginal Artists’ Fellowship Award’. He honoured this award by presenting his first solo exhibition, 'Going Home’, curated by Rosie Potter, at Tandanya in 2001. The information sheet of the exhibition stated that the title “refers to Joel’s 'going home’ as he searches his past [and] explores his identity” (Potter, 2001). The works in 'Going Home’ were a series of sandstone, acrylic and house paint on canvas that depicted designs based on the petroglyph designs of Tasmania.In 2002 Birnie was curated into the national touring exhibition 'Native Title Business’ with his work Fanny, Mary and the Cross (2001). This work of acrylic on board is a portrait of Fanny Cochrane Smith and her daughter Mary. Hanging as an earring from Mary’s right ear is the Christian crucifix. This crucifix and the board the painting is painted on are symbols of “Fanny Cochrane Smith’s beloved wooden church. She had it built on the land she donated to the Methodists of Hobart” (Birnie, 2002, pg. 42).In 2003 Birnie staged his second solo show, 'No’onga/The Spirit Centre’ at Tandanya. This body of work represented a departure in medium for Birnie as it was his first exhibition of photographic works. These works were large digital film stills, the images of which were “traditional Tasmanian petroglyphs but were reworked into abstract designs so as to resemble spirits”(pers. comm., 2009). In 2007 he participated in the group show 'Our Metro Mob’, curated by Fulvia Mantelli alongside Troy-Anthony Baylis, Sharon Sansbury, Alucius Turner, Peter Sharrock and Yhonnie Scarce. This exhibition was also staged at Tandanya. Birnie was commissioned to develop a sand painting, Untitled Petroglyph, for the performance of Petroglyphs: Signs of Life, a dance collaboration between Leigh Warren, Gina Rings and Tandanya in 2005. In 2006 he installed Untitled Petroglyph for the Signs of Life performance at the 'Festival of the Dreaming’ in Woodford, Queensland.Birnie’s choice of media developed from working with mixed media and ground sandstone on canvas to working primarily with photographic media. In 2008 he exhibited his work Maleetye; blossom in the group show 'The Haunted and the Bad’, curated by Julie Gough at the Linden Centre for Contemporary Arts in St Kilda, Victoria. The other artists who participated in this exhibition were Tony Albert, Nici Cumpston, Andrea Fisher and Yhonnie Scarce. Birnie states that Maleetye; blossom was a “digital video and installation series based upon the aspects of my Indigenous heritage being passed on to me through women. The images and installation are inspired by the photographs of Fanny Cochrane Smith…” (Birnie, Linden Centre for Contemporary Arts website).Birnie’s fascination with his ancestor is brought to the fore when he asks, “What would I be as an Indigenous artist without Fanny Cochrane Smith? Due to the fairness of skin, an urban existence on the mainland and destruction of traditional Indigenous Tasmanian culture such as language, art and religion etc, I find myself asking 'what is it for me to be recognised as an 'Indigenous’ artist and is it relevant? Would my work still be recognised by institutions and galleries if the same works were to be labelled as 'non-Indigenous’, if they were not historic in theme and visual style?” (Birnie, Linden Centre for Contemporary Arts website). Birnie was a finalist in the 18th 'Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award’ in 2001 with his work Trugati Bona, Men with Wounds, a mixed media on canvas work that discussed the death of William Laney (known as the last 'full blood’ Tasmanian male Aborigine). Laney died circa 1868, aged 34, and his body was dissected and studied in the name of science.Birnie’s work is held in the collections of the Museum and Art Gallery of Tasmania in Hobart and the National Museum of Australia in Canberra.In 2009 Birnie was living and working in Melbourne, Victoria.

Biography
Sanne Mestrom is an installation artist based in Melbourne. She was born in 1979. Mestrom graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Honours (Fine Art) in 2000 (RMIT University, Melbourne). In 2008, she received a PhD in Fine Art from RMIT University. Mestrom’s practice is as experimental as it is conceptual. She places before her audience a metaphor: a creative expression for a particular concept. Materials are transposed or transcended and her artworks become a series of experiments and questions about meaning and belief. What do we know as fact? What are our truths? What knowledge and experience do we share? She explores the delicate and liminal spaces within this ontological study that harbour instability, uncertainty and doubt. In a 2010 group exhibition titled 'The Nothing’, Mestrom displayed two weighted, floating balloons within the gallery space. The balloons set up an encounter between chance and control, the random and the bounded. Mestrom has exhibited in Australia and internationally. Her solo exhibitions include: 'Things fall down. Sometimes we look up.’ (Chalk Horse Gallery); 'Certain Sacrifices’ (RMIT School of Art Gallery); 'A history of space is the history of wars’ (Enjoy Public Art Gallery, Wellington); and 'Passing through’ (ARI, Auckland). Among her group exhibitions are: 'The Nothing’ (Chalk Horse); 'Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow’ (Nellie Castan Gallery); 'De Architectura’ (MARS Gallery, Melbourne); 'An ideal for living’ (Linden Gallery); and 'Rembrandts: Nine Installations’ (RMIT Architecture, Urban Architecture Laboratory). Mestrom has been the recipient of the Arts Victoria Creation Grant, in 2007 and 2009. In 2007, she also received the Arts Victoria International Grant.

Birth Place
Lockhart River, QLD, Australia
Biography
Indigenous artist from Lockhart River on Cape York Peninsula in North Queensland. Hers is the most northern and remote settlement on the Australian coastline. Namok’s art career commenced in 1998 after she completed her Art Diploma at Cairns TAFE. Returning to Lockhart River, Rosella made her art at the Lockhart River Art and Cultural Centre, with the guidance and encouragement of Fran and Geoff Barker (founders of the Centre). She concentrated on her painting and also explored print-making. Namok’s work gained much public attention in 2000 when it was shown in Sydney in a sellout exhibition in the Hogarth Galleries. She has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants including the 15th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award (1998); Lin Onus Youth Award – Fifth National Indigenous Heritage Art Awards (2000); Australian Bar Association-High Court Centenary Art Award (2003); Redlands Westpac Art Prize, Mosman Art Gallery (2003) and has witnessed her paintings entering the collections of every major Australian art gallery, as well as other Australian, international and private collections. As a backdrop to her success, a 1997 education and employment initiative for teenage children in Lockhart River provided a way of stimulating intellectual and cultural curiosity that generated self-confidence and self-esteem within the teenage community. Subjects relating to art and culture included Fundamentals of Painting, Aboriginal Performance Techniques, Traditional Body Painting and Acrylic Painting. A number of the artists formed the 'Art Gang’ and their art education continued at the Cairns TAFE. Upon graduating, these teenagers returned to the Lockhart River Art and Cultural Centre where they pursued their individual art practices.An important part of their student education was the concept of art valued as fine art rather than just craft, and they had received practical guidance regarding the exhibition, marketing and sale of work in the fine art market. They were even taught about appropriate dress for exhibition openings and the 'red dot’ system for sales – all of which helped to prepare the students for attending exhibitions in sophisticated galleries in big cities. Funding from the Queensland Government enabled some of Australia’s leading artists to visit the community to conduct workshops in the techniques of printmaking, painting, sculpture and cartooning. These artists included Gary Shead and Guy and Joy Warren. Aboriginal elders ('Old Girls’) from the Lockhart River community provided the glue that held this learning experience together through their guidance about the cultural knowledge and practices and their importance for understanding ones’ place in the world, as well as traditional rules relating to Indigenous clan groups.The Old Girls’ stories informed Namok of her place in the Sandbeach community. In Lockhart River region, the term 'Sandbeach’ gives common identity to a group of five coastal and inland language clans of indigenous people. These people collectively refer to themselves as 'Pama Malnkana’, meaning 'people of the sand beach’. After 1924 the separated lifestyles of the groups changed with the commencement of the Lockhart River Anglican Mission. A single settlement was created where people from different language and kinship clans lived together. The words 'before time’ in the artworks of the Art Gang refer to the time before 1924 when traditional culture and 'moieties’ prevailed. This word 'moiety’ derives from a Latin word meaning half and can refer to marriage partners, kin relationships and general guide to behaviour. In art, moiety can play an important role in determining the subjects that an artist may paint and it is embedded in much of Rosella Namok’s art, where it is referred to as the Kaapay and Kuyan moiety. Namok incorporates traditional aspects of her culture, such as the Kaapay and Kuyan moiety, into her paintings to prevent it from being lost to future generations. She says that everything is divided into two ways; people, land, story places, plants and animals – they belong one way or the other way and it is important to know which way. This is somewhat similar to the concept of the Yin and Yang in Chinese culture. As a young girl, Rosella Namok began painting by helping her father decorate the bodies of dancers with ochre paints at traditional ceremonies. These ancestral markings remained strong elements in her art, together with other traditional symbolic patterns learnt from her grandmother. She paints using her fingers to mark her thick acrylic paint layers, a method derived from her grandmother’s sand drawing, and this is her metaphorical connection to the land. Namok has a strong background in silk-screen printing and she has employed those techniques in her painting. Recurring foci in Namok’s paintings have been relationships between clan concepts of social organization, landscape and subjects of indigenous grief. The subject of traditional law is a recurrent theme in her work; her 'law’ paintings are large, suggesting the significance of traditional law.Namok expresses concepts of individual relationships and social organization using large scale motifs of Kaapay and Kuyan. The concept of social difference is worked through in her paintings in terms of young couples and old couples, right-way and wrong-way couples, and also in terms of para (white-fella) way and parma (Sandbeach or 'our’) way. The simplicity of the matching shapes is also its depth. The two elements of the Kaapay and Kuyan motif do not represent anything specific so much as, together, they represent their 'proper’ difference. Namok uses simple geometric shapes of ovals, squares, rectangles, angles and lines. The nature of the shape is not significant, however, the relationship between the two shapes is. These paired elements may represent moieties, traditional law, men and women, generations of people, cousins, insiders and outsiders, and so on. The rigid opposition of the geometric shapes is relieved by Namok’s use of underlying layers of colour and brushstroke to provide subtlety and nuance. Namok’s response to landscape is seen in her so-called 'rain’ paintings. Her motivation is not to depict the visual aspects of a subject but to convey her understanding and knowledge of it.Rosella Namok is married to Wayne Butcher and together they have two sons, Isaiah and Zane. After the death of Namok’s younger sister, Sonia, the couple adopted Sonia’s daughter. Namok works from a large shed/studio space attached to her home in Cairns.

Birth Place
New South Wales
Biography
Amala Groom is a proud Wiradjuri artist who utilizes a decolonising methodology to inform her creative process. Her practice can be described as multi-disciplinary and project based, focusing on contemporary social and political commentary. As an activist, Groom has advocated passionately for the rights of Aboriginal peoples both at home and internationally, including participating in eight United Nations Forums. For Groom, art-making is an extension of her work as a political activist; a platform for speaking out and speaking up about the legacy of colonialism. Groom explains, “It’s about being able to communicate with people. You can write a submission, do a speech, present a paper at the UN, attend a protest or you can make art… it’s about working. I’m just following my feelings so I can go where I’ll be most able to influence society and change the way people think.” Whilst Groom’s art is a manifestation of her political engagement her practice is also deeply informed by her cultural identity. As Groom explains, “I want to be known as Amala firstly and secondly as a Wiradjuri artist, because I’m inherently proud of my cultural identity. It’s my politics, my philosophy, my religion, my lore, my spirituality, my ontology, my whole way of life and way of being. So that informs everything in terms of the way I carry out my business and go about my life”. According to Groom, although she had always been an active appreciator of art, it was not until 2012 – whilst taking a break from her BA in Law at the University of Technology, Sydney – that she was overcome by a profound feeling that she needed to start making art. In response she enrolled in the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Cultural Arts Course at Eora College in Sydney. Amala explains that the decision to enroll in this degree is reflective of her commitment to “…letting my Kurunpa, or spirit, drive my life as opposed to my intellect…essentially it’s just being in tune with where the old people want you to go”. Whilst completing the diploma at Eora College, Groom participated in several group shows including: Coming Together Amnesty International & Eora at Boomalli Gallery, Sydney (2012), Eora 2013 at Verge Gallery, Sydney (2013) and Two Fires Festival of Arts and Activism at Braidwood (2013). As a finalist in the Parliament of New South Wales Aboriginal Art Prize in 2013, Groom’s submission, Thank You, an acrylic on canvas depicting a bottle and the text “Thank you for not drinking the poison”, was highly commended. This success led to the launch of her first solo exhibition, The Cider Series, held at Kings Cross Library in February 2014 and launched by the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore. Here, Groom presented a collection of 12 paintings of Colonial Project cider including depictions of bottles of Genocider, Ethnocider and Memoricider. According to the artist this series aimed “… to peel back the white skin of Australia and show the blood that has been shed underneath…to unravel the grief and systemic violence against Aboriginal Peoples that is knotted into the foundations of the nation”. It also sort to level a critique at the “… tactics of colonialism and, most importantly, give confidence to people to question, resist and protect Aboriginal ways of being on this ancient and sacred place that always was and always will be Aboriginal land”. Thus, The Cider Series typifies Groom’s artistic modus operandi as an uncompromising and forceful socio-political commentator. In 2014 Groom won a place as a finalist in the Chippendale New World Art Prize with her photographic work, My definition of an boombastic Utopian style, exhibited at the NG Gallery, Sydney. The submission of a photographic work signifies the expansion of her artistic repertoire away from a painting-focused practice, towards a multi- disciplinary one. In line with this expansion the artist has gone on to create new works across a broad range of media, including installation and text-based illustration. Many of these works have been exhibited as part of group shows including; Breaking the Mould at MLC School, Burwood (2014), Monuments to the Frontier Wars (2014) and Lawful & Permissible (2014) both at the Damien Minton Gallery, Redfern. Despite diversification in terms of modes of practice Groom’s work continues to be broadly politically engaged: The seven works exhibited at Lawful & Permissible provocatively criticized the Abbott Government’s proposed repeal of section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act, as well as playfully exploring just how receptive political representatives are to feedback from their constituents when such proposals come under review. 2014 also marked Groom’s resumption of the study of law as well as the further consolidation of her artistic education via the commencement of a Bachelor of Fine Arts/Law at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.

Biography
Jason Wing is a young Aboriginal artist from the western Sydney suburb of Blacktown, which has a relatively high Aboriginal population. Wing’s father is Chinese (Cantonese) and his mother is an Aboriginal woman from the Biripi people in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Sydney’s College of Fine Arts in 1998, Wing has steadily emerged in the Sydney and national art scene as a versatile artist who explores issues of bi-cultural and Indigenous political identity, environmental awareness and spirituality with a street-wise flair (owing in part to his use of stencil printing) and strong commitment to community engagement. The artist statement on Wing’s website begins: 'My art is inspired by the way my life has thrown up apparent contradictions. It is the place between the contradictory energies that creates a unique space for me to carve out who I am as an artist and a man.’ He then goes on to explain the stark differences between his father’s business/urban influences and the rural/non-materialist motivations of his mother’s Aboriginal way of life. 'Two things in opposition can become the base of a pattern’, explains Wing, and we can see the visual manifestation of this philosophy in a mural work such as Rebirth (2008) which incorporates a cupid and cloud scrolls in a graffiti aesthetic of spraypaint streaks and drips. In Migration (2007), the coming together of opposites is more literal, with two cupid-like figures (one coloured, the other white) at each end of the picture, joined by a throng of 'migratory’ black birds (magpies and crows) which stream out of a hole in each of their chests. At once joyous, poetic and redemptive, Migration is characteristic of Wing’s particular style, as is the painting’s use of cupid and bird motifs. The artist explains that this cupid image is a loose self-portrait-as-child. Wing supplemented his Fine Art degree with a Bachelor of Graphic Design at Sydney Graphics College in 2002. Indeed one can also see this duality in his work; the blend of the more expressive/experimental visual artist with the message-conscious cool and focus of the graphic designer. It was a few years after formal study before Wing’s exhibiting life began, in 2005, as part of a group show in his hometown Blacktown Arts Centre '10th Annual Blacktown Art Show’; an auspicious start which earned him two awards, as the best local artist and a Highly Commended. In the next year, things started accelerating. He was selected to show in Sydney Art Fair’s 'Off The Wall’ platform for emerging artists, a distinction repeated in 2008 with 'Off The Wall’ representation at Art Fairs in Brisbane and Melbourne. In 2006, he also participated in a number of group shows in Sydney galleries (Newington Armoury, Orson and Blake Gallery, Gallery 4A, Blacktown Art Centre for their 'Crossing Cultures’ exhibition) and Adelaide (Green Hill Galleries). Significantly, 2009 he also collaborated with internationally renowned Taiwanese/American artist Lee Mingwei on Mingwei’s solo exhibition, 'Tourist’, at Sydney’s Sherman Gallery. It was in 2008 that this researcher first came to know about Wing’s work. In writing on Wing for Art Monthly Australia’s very first 'Em File’ (a feature profiling emerging artists, commencing in April ’08) I noted that this 'emerging’ label might be wearing thin, given his Art Fair guernseys and a 'rising star’ recognition in 'belle’ magazine back in 2006. Still, at that time he was without commercial gallery representation in Australia and yet to stage a solo exhibition. This looks set to change in 2009, with a solo exhibition scheduled for Melbourne’s Arc One gallery in August. In 2008, Wing demonstrated his versatility with work in two shows that departed from his 2D stencil-based pieces. As part of curator Djon Mundine’s 2008 Campbelltown Art Centre exhibition, 'Ngadhu Ngulili Ngeaninyagu Premier State’, a survey exhibition of art by NSW Kooris, Wing created a commanding installation, 'Sign of the Times’, effectively a leitmotif for this show, which comprised an assembly of road signage along with other streetscape paraphernalia including CCTV cameras ('surveilling’ the gallery spectators), a street-cum-totem pole and a real estate sign boasting 'Prem1er Real Estate’ with a map of NSW 'For Sale’. The installation was mounted on an earthen base in the shape of NSW. Earlier in 2008, Wing was selected to present work in the 'Jesus Walks Project’, a public sculptural event coinciding with the Catholic Church’s World Youth Day spectacle which took place in Sydney, July 2008. With a brief to determine 'how relevant is faith in today’s society’, and a life-size fibreglass model of Jesus, Wing installed an interactive LED message panel on a black Jesus and utilised the glib, catchy language of commerce to attract attention and make viewers wonder about (and even input) their own idea of faith in a logo-centric world. The project was also a fundraiser for Father Chris Riley’s Youth Off The Streets program. That Wing can exhibit in member shows for Sydney’s Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative and Gallery 4A Asia-Australia Art Centre speaks volumes about the fluidity of self-identity and also about a certain multicultural maturity. That he is determined to enlist his art in the quest for greater good is shown by its earnest political- and community-mindedness, as well as in his work teaching art therapy to children with disabilities.

b. 1978
Summary
Jason Wing is a young Sydney-based Aboriginal artist who also strongly identifies with his Asian heritage; in fact his art taps into this duality to challenge stereotypes about cultural affinity, ethnicity, and Australian life in the 21st century.

Birth Place
Cairns, Qld., Australia
Biography
Born in Cairns, Queensland in 1977, painter and printmaker Lisa is of the Kokoberrin language group, located on Central West Coast of Cape York Peninsula in Queensland. Her traditional homelands, on her Grandmother’s side, are known as Pinnarinch or Mudpaalanjen and stretch between Staaten River National Park and north to Nassau River, including Wyabba Creek and Dorunda Lodge area. Today the Kokoberrin mainly reside in Kowanyama, Normanton and North Queensland communities. Pinarrinch encompasses several creation places, with Lisa’s totem name Ko-manggén being one of them. Lisa was given her totem name Ko-manggén in 2005 by her great-grandfather who was the most senior Kokoberrin elder and lore man and named Lisa after his cousin, Fannie Bruce. Michl stated in November 2007 that she uses “colours, texture and design along with my thoughts and feelings to create my works. My paintings express elements of our creation stories, traditional practices and our everyday lifestyle.” Michl, like her brother and fellow artist, Shaun Edwards Kalk, is a graduate of the Banggu Minjaany Art and Cultural Centre at Cairns TAFE gaining an Advanced Diploma of Visual Art in 1997. Michl has participated in a number of exhibitions including “Story Place: Indigenous Art of the Cape York and Rainforest” in 2003 at the Queensland Art Gallery and “Out of Country” in 2004 in Washington DC, USA. Since 2005, Michl has shown her work in commercial galleries including Andrew Baker Art Dealer in Brisbane, Queensland, Hogarth Galleries in Sydney, NSW, Helen Maxwell Gallery, Canberra, ACT and Japingka Gallery, Fremantle, WA. Michl has been a finalist three times in the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards held each year at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Darwin – in 1993, 2005 and 2007. She was also the 2006/2007 recipient of the Ivyon Coen Indigenous Youth Art and Leadership Award presented by the Wilin Centre at the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne, Victoria. Since 2000 Michl has worked in the Indigenous arts industry within North Queensland holding down positions with TANK Arts Centre in Cairns and has been a Board Member of the Indigenous Environment Foundation (IEF) Queensland, the Indigenous Arts Marketing, Export Agency (QIAMEA).

He studied at the Victorian College for the Arts (2010) and attained his Bachelor of Art (Fine Art) from the Curtin University in 2012. His work, which explores definitions of identity and belonging, emerges from his Muslim heritage that is both seventh-generation Australian and Malay. Within these cultural parameters he explores a personal engagement with the migrant experience of his mother, the ongoing implications of his Australian father’s early conversion to Islam and “the mutable understanding of childhood values in the present tense.” Writers: fulleg Date written: 2015 Last updated: 2015

Birth Place
Baghdad, Iraq
Biography
Abstract painter and mosaic artist Abbas Makrab was born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1967. Makrab recalls spending much of his childhood competing with his four brothers, each trying to capture the best still lifes or family portraits. His brothers inspired him to follow his creative pursuits as an artist. In Iraq, Makrab regularly featured in the local newspaper as a caricaturist. In 1992, he graduated from the College of Fine Arts, Baghdad, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in painting. During his art education at the College of Fine Arts, Makrab was also trained in mosaics. From 1992 to 2000, Makrab exhibited his abstract paintings in exhibitions such as 'Art from Mesopotamia’ at the College of Fine Arts, Baghdad, and the International Babylon Festival at Baghdad Arts Centre. In 1999, he travelled to Jordan where he stayed for three years and hosted his first solo exhibition, 'Seazeef’, at the Orient Gallery, Amman, Jordan. On the 28 September 2001, Makrab immigrated to Australia. He began working on public art projects in 2003, initially with Fairfield City Council, which in that year commissioned him to design and create thirty-six ceramic panels for fourteen planter boxes lining both sides of the main road of Smithfield. His roots in abstract painting inform the designs and colours of the planter boxes. In 2005 Fairfield City Council invited Makrab to design and engineer four mosaic panels for three new concrete seats to be located around the children’s playground area in Day Street Park, Lansvale. According to the artist, local bird-watching groups and his workshops with the children of a district public school, Lansvale East, inspired the three parrot designs featured on the seating. In 2008 Makrab graduated from the National Art School, Sydney, with a Masters of Fine Art (majoring in painting) and in the same year he won a competition to design and create mosaic artworks for Blacktown City Council. The mosaics featured on four retaining walls located at the centre of a large roundabout on Carlisle and Woodstock Avenues. The plethora of blue hues used in the work, he says, reflects the uniqueness of the Australian sky, which is unlike Iraq or Jordan. In addition to working with local councils on community workshops and public art sculptures, Makrab has also exhibited in public and commercial galleries including Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, Casula (2003), MLC Gallery, Sydney (2004 and 2006), Blacktown Arts Centre, Blacktown (2005), Mura Clay Gallery, Newtown (2006), and Kerrie Lowe Gallery, Newtown (2007).

Biography
Artist Dion Archibald was born in January 1976 in Maitland, New South Wales. Despite being born into a family with no connection to the visual arts, Archibald was engaged in art-making from an early age. He remembers drawing a lot as a child, until the age of fifteen when he 'discovered’ oil paints, a medium with which he continued to work. At the age of eighteen, Archibald began working full-time as an artist. Two years later, in 1996, he began his tertiary education, first studying for a Diploma in Fine Arts at the TAFE Hunter Institute in Newcastle, then attending the University of Newcastle (1998), where he studied Visual Arts for two years. During his time at TAFE, he was influenced by his teacher Michael Bell, a local artist, who inspired him to secure a studio space and practice art professionally. Archibald claimed that Bell, “... helped me to understand that to be an artist, you have to make sacrifices, be very disciplined and most importantly, have fun with art!” (Archibald in Percy 2003, p 24). Archibald has been inspired by artists as varied as Anselm Kiefer, Alberto Giacometti, Paul Cezanne, Brett Whiteley, Jean Michel Basquiat, Pablo Picasso and Egon Schiele, whose works he came to know primarily through publications. He finds just about everything he encounters in the world around him to be some form of inspiration – even basic objects, as seen in his Around Home series (1999-2000). He explains: “Regardless of whether the subject is something as mundane as a toothbrush or as awe inspiring as the beauty of nature, it has to speak to me in some way. I have to feel empathy towards the subject and a desire to form a relationship with it…” (Archibald 2009, pers. comm.). Working on twenty or more paintings at the one time, Archibald follows a set process with each work. Beginning with rough sketches, the subject matter is refined incrementally to resolve composition and form, light and shade, a focused palette, texture, clear delineation and finally highlights. His cityscape repertoire includes the Turkish series (2001-02), the Newcastle series (2002-03) and the Sydney series (2005). Archibald insists that his primary interest is not in accurate depiction so much as in underlying ideas concerning urban densities. Occasionally, Archibald also does self-portraits. Incorporated into his expressive figurative art are his experiences and thoughts on issues including food consumption, war and the destruction of the planet. He explains that “Every painting has a piece of me in it. I’m into feelings and emotions… I see my paintings as a diary of feelings…” (Archibald 2009, pers. comm.). Distinctive traits of his personal style include: thick brush strokes, stark blocks of colour bound by a strong linear quality, tonal contrasts, both a build up of layers and a linear sgraffito-like treatment of the surface. In 2004 Archibald had a solo exhibition at the Newcastle Art Space. In the same year, he received the Still Life award, and was Highly Commended for the Overall category, in the Weston Art Show in Maitland. In 2005 he exhibited in the group exhibition 'In Alexander’s Footsteps’ with Vlado Krstevski, Jeremy Kang and Sophie Munn at Studio 48, Newcastle. In 2007 Archibald briefly worked full-time in an internet business. By 2009 he was working part-time in the same business, once again making his art practice his primary focus. His works are in private collections in Turkey, the USA, Australia, Europe and Asia. Writers: Bashir, Rezwana Date written: 2009 Last updated: 2011

Biography
Born in Sydney in 1976, Troy-Anthony Baylis is a painter, textile artist, installation artist and performance artist. A descendant of the Jawoyn Aboriginal people from the Katherine region in the Northern Territory, Baylis grew up in country towns in New South Wales and Queensland prior to moving to Brisbane in 1989. Since 2000 he has lived and worked in Adelaide. Baylis’s multi-faceted artistic practice is founded in the process of ‘queering’ and unsettling traditional ways of representing Aboriginality. His practice is emotional, politically provocative, visually arresting, and deeply personal. He has exhibited widely across Australia and internationally, having exhibited and performed across New Zealand, the Philippines, Iceland and Germany. He is currently undertaking a PhD on the subject of ‘Deadly Mimicry: Indigeneity and Drag in Contemporary Artistic Representation.’ Troy-Anthony Baylis’s work is informed by his multi-layered identity, and whilst he cites his Indigeneity and sexuality as important parts of his work and his identity, being representational of his generation is of the utmost importance to him. In its assertions of identity, the drag performance offers Baylis a vehicle for sexual, social and political liberation. He has stated that ‘[I] want to use drag to liberate myself both personally and culturally from repression and conservatism’. In 2009 Baylis created the digital collage series Making Camp which Baylis intruded upon the colonial landscapes of Glover, Johnstone and Martens, playfully imposing his drag persona along with photographs of works from his (pink) Poles series onto the works. He cites early experiences knitting with his grandmothers and mother as being influential in his practice. The Postcard series (2010-11) includes artefacts representing private dialogues between geographically dispersed networks of ‘sistas’, where objects are reconstructed from Glomesh and other upcycled artificial fabrics. There are parallels between the ‘high-ceremony’ of the cross-cultural ‘Postcard’ exchange to the 19th/20th century colonial practice of adorning respected Aboriginal peoples with symbolic ‘breastplates’ denoting status and honour.

b. 1976
Summary
Since graduating with an Honours Visual Art degree in 1997, Troy-Anthony Baylis has exhibited widely in Australia and overseas. His art practice draws from popular culture icons such as Andy Warhol, Kylie Minogue and Barbara Cartland. He is also a pioneer of contemporary art knitting.

Biography
Anthony White is a Paris-based Australian artist working across painting, collage and printmaking. He immigrated to France from Australia during 2009. White’s practice explores the intersection of historical and current social issues and how they relate to the production of contemporary image making. His works are often characterised by an acute awareness of surface and a preoccupation with the engagement of physicality and the found object. The 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris was a catalysing moment for the artist to look at civilisation more broadly and how civilisation is linked to culture. His practice considers collision points, shifts and ruptures at the site of geopolitical and cultural boundaries, particularly in relation to global immigration crisis. He has expressed in an interviews in Australia during 2018 an interest “in reclaiming the radicality of the gestural mark as a form of dissent, to question the functioning of the Western ideals of sovereign power,democracy and the fallout of current foreign policy.” White’s recent work, shown in the exhibition Signs of Civilization, (2018) reflects a move to socially engaged practice. Art writer Jane O’Neill says “White takes some cues from earlier activist artists such as Yves Klein or the post-war Japanese Gutai movement. Yet the driving force behind these works is Franz Kafka’s 1919 novel In the Penal Colony, a story that pre-empts the current refugee crises throughout the Pacific. White describes how the exhibition “continues my sustained enquiry into the relationship between Modernism and colonialist concepts of empire”. In doing so, he asserts the role of the artist as inherently political and urges us to consider the role of artistic interventions in the current climate.” Anthony White born Australia 1976 Lives and works in Paris France. He has exhibited widely over the past decade with solo exhibitions in Australia, France,Germany and Latvia and Asia. White has also been regularly curated into exhibitions focusing on Contemporary Painting in Sydney, London, Hong Kong, Paris and Brisbane.

Birth Place
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Biography
Souliere was born in Toronto, Ontario. As a child she attended an after-school program for Indigenous children in Toronto, where she was encouraged to engage in her culture through traditional song, dance, storytelling and art making. This immersion in the traditions and values of First Nation peoples was reinforced by her family, and continues to fuel her artistic thinking. Souliere recognises and identifies with the many socio-political Indigenous issues in Australia, as these issues have many parallels in North America. It was this trans-Pacific move that enabled her to examine her background from new perspectives, which now inform her work. It was in Australia that she began her formal training and development of her professional arts practice and began to be shown in exhibitions. Prior to living in Australia, Souliere’s art activities were grounded in the making of traditional First Nation regalia and objects for her own personal use as a traditional dancer and for sale at market stalls. Souliere obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons) from Sydney College of the Arts in 2004, a Masters of Visual Arts from Sydney College of the Arts in 2006 and commenced a PhD in 2010 from Sydney College of the Arts, where her primary research focuses on Indigenous artists from Australia and North America and its integration into contemporary art practice. Souliere was a finalist in the Helen Lempriere Travelling Art Scholarship in 2006 and 2007; a finalist in the Fauvette Loureiro Memorial Artists Travel Scholarship in 2008 and in 2011 was a finalist in the David Harold Tribe Sculpture Prize. She has participated in 27 group exhibitions including the 2010 Scotiabank Nuit Blanche, curated by Gerald McMaster, in Toronto, Canada and Point of Origin, curated by Gary Pearson, in 2008 at Artspace, Sydney. In 2012, Souliere was curated in the group exhibition Beat Nation, curated by Kathleen Ritter and Tania Willard, which travelled the length and breadth of Canada from 2012-2014. Beat Nation explores the intersections between Aboriginal cultures, hip-hop, politics and art hijacking symbols from skateboard, bike, hip-hop and graffiti scenes to claim new spaces for native culture. In Australia, she has collaborated with artist Mikala Dwyer and art collective Alterbeast for the exhibition Alterbeast at Penrith Regional Galleries and at Anna Schwartz Gallery in Melbourne and Sara Cottier Gallery in Sydney. Souliere had her first Australian solo exhibition in 2003, at Newspace Gallery in Sydney, and her first in Canada came in 2008 at Grunt Gallery, Vancouver. Souliere has subsequently held solo exhibitions GPS (The Good Red Road) at Peloton Gallery, Sydney in 2009, I am JUST not that good at following directions at The New Gallery, Calgary in 2010 and CrossRoads, at Urban Shaman gallery, Winnipeg in 2011. Souliere has been the recipient of visual art grants, such as marketing grants from the Australian National Association of the Visual Arts in 2006 and 2012 and the New Work Grant by the Canada Council in 2012. Souliere was the director of the student-run gallery Newspace from 2001-03 and was a committee member of ARTPORT (a joint initiative of Sydney’s artist-run spaces and the Museums and Galleries Foundation of NSW) in 2003-04. She has been a member of the (Australian) National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA). She has tutored and taught painting, sculpture, performance and installation across Sydney’s three main arts institutions: Sydney College of the Arts, the National Art School and the College of Fine Arts. Souliere participates in workshops, artist presentations nationally and internationally and artist residency programs, previously working at the University of Newcastle; Artspace, Sydney; the University of Manitoba; University of British Columbia (Okanagan); and Simon Fraser University, Vancouver. Working primarily with sculpture, installations and more recently, collage, Souliere combines hard-edge abstraction, organic forms, the handmade and the assisted readymade to address aspects of First Nation culture and Indigenous people(s) issues on a global scale. Souliere’s visual language is grounded in her traditional culture, while simultaneously being attuned to Western aesthetic sensibilities. Traditional Indigenous processes such as weaving, knotting, binding and wrapping are central to her practice, as are references to performance and traditional Anishinabek worldviews. Souliere uses feathers, lampshades and human hair as well as objects connected to driving and the road: automotive parts, lights, reflectors, road signs, and traffic control tape. The latter materials can be read as the markers of a long history of land appropriations, authority, regulation and control. Souliere’s work with these road-related objects has been described as a “culturally interruptive… intervention [that works] against the pressure of colonial imposition”. In her work Points Of Origin (2008), Souliere has created a cluster of metal road signs on poles, but replaces the usual, mass-produced, laser cut graphics with vibrant hand-cut patterns on reflective vinyl based on traditional motifs. This reversal of the usual direction of the superimposition of one language and/or culture over another renders the signs unreadable to the average western viewer. Souliere’s work challenges the notion that road signs can be universally or unambiguously understood and asks the viewer to question whose law is being asserted through such directives and over whom do they have authority? Souliere’s signs do not give directions, but – as recognisable to a specific audience – speak of other types of guidance for the journey of life, knowledge passed down from generation to generation through traditional legends and mythology. Materiality and Otherness, Souliere’s 2008 exhibition at Grunt Gallery, exhibited one of Souliere’s best known works, Aspects of the Skyworld, which consisted of a series of wall-mounted, circular objects, shaped like cones or hourglasses. The exteriors of these objects are covered with pheasant and guinea fowl feathers that flutter invitingly as they catch the breezes from an open door or people walking past. This tactile exterior is matched by the brightly coloured interior of red, green, orange or purple wools that evoke the interior of a flower. The textured sculptures seem almost alive, watching and listening to everything in the room, a kind of bizarre surveillance in feathered form. The objects, meant to recall birds in flight, were inspired by a traditional Anishinabek legend, the song of the Whirling Rainbow Woman, who catches the rain and nurtures the earth. Souliere’s Thunderbirds and Young Binessiwags series (both 2006) use installations of car headlights and taillights to reference the Anishinabek legend of the Thunderbirds or Binessiwags, whose flashing eyes would create the lightning in a storm. To avoid attracting the attention of the Thunderbird, shiny or reflective objects would customarily be hidden during a storm. The title of Souliere’s 2009 exhibition, The Good Red Road, at Peloton Gallery, Sydney, references the notion of “the one who is walking the road of a balanced life”, an idea which is common to many Native American communities, both as an ethical code and a cosmology. Souliere’s work is asking thoughtful questions about the sustainability of the mainstream capitalist and consumerist North American or Western lifestyle. More specifically, Souliere’s work is asking where these roads are leading us and why we are not heeding any of the warning signs. In 2013, Souliere began working on a social art project, “The Collage of Indigenization”, where participants are invited to make a collage on what they feel it means to be Indigenous today. As part of this project Souliere conducts collage workshops to demonstrate the technique. Souliere launched the project at Artbank NT in Alice Springs, and has conducted residencies and workshops at the Yamaji Art Centre in Geraldton, WA, Mullewa Women’s Centre, WA, Ngurratjuta Many Hands Art Centre in Alice Springs, NT, and Geraldon Youth Center, WA. In November 2013, Souliere conducted a collage workshop at the eighteenth MCA ARTBAR, as curated by Tony Albert. In June 2014, Souliere will host a residency at the annual Barkly Art Camp in Tennant Creek, NT, which is run by Desart for the 45 art centres it administers. Ultimately, Souliere intends to generate a 34 metre collage from workshops conducted nationally and internationally. Souliere’s work is held in private collections in Australia and Canada.

Biography
“Ngath kulay thayan inab zageth ika, ngaw awgadhal, Thupmul a Koedal; ngaw gubal, Sager a Naygay; ngaw thithuy, Zugubaw Baydham; ngaw yangu kudu, Kala Lagaw Ya. Ngay lak mina koeyma ap asin ngaw Kuyku Mabayg ika, Muruylgal a Zugubal. Ngaw ngulayg ngapa nithamuningu.”(I put before my art practice my totems, File-ray and Crocodile; my winds, South Easterly and North Easterly; my stars, Zugubaw Baydham constellation; my language, Kala Lagaw Ya. I humble myself before my Elders, and my spiritual ancestors, the Muruylgal and the Zugubal. This knowledge I possess was inherited from them.)– Alick Tipoti (Spoken at 'unDisclosed: 2nd National Indigenous Art Triennial’, 2010) Alick Tipoti was born in 1975 on Thursday Island. He is a Cairns-based contemporary linocut printer and sculptor and a member of the Argan and Wakaydh language groups of Badu Island. He speaks both Kala Lagaw Ya of the Maluilgal Nation and Kala Kawa Ya of the Guda Maluyligal Nation of the Torres Strait. As a Torres Strait Islander, Tipoti is guided by the traditional cultural practices of his people. He feels a strong responsibility to document these practices- the stories, genealogies and songs- so that they are available for future generations to learn, understand and practice. For Tipoti, art is; “all about telling and illustrating the stories my father told me. The one thing I will never do is let my forefathers’ words be lost.” Tipoti’s artworks function as cultural documents, displaying the ancestral narratives of his people. The works often focus on legendary figures, accompanied by dhari headdresses, elaborate masks, percussive instruments, conches and other objects related to dance and ceremony. His works include elements of island life and much of the native fauna of the region, including dugongs, salt-water crocodiles and turtles. Alick Tipoti’s interest in visual art began at a young age and he has since become widely recognised as an important and innovative artist of the Torres Strait Islands. Tipoti received his primary schooling on Badu Island and secondary schooling on Thursday Island. In 1992, he received an Advanced Diploma in Arts from Thursday Island TAFE College and in 1994 he obtained a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Printmaking) from the School of Art at the Australian National University, Canberra. His current practice is inspired by stories told by his father and elders about life on Badu Island before colonisation. In his words, “my art is built on, and held together by, traditional Torres Strait designs, based on legends of the past.” In the early 1990s, Tipoti began exhibiting in smaller regional exhibitions in far North Queensland. Following the move to Canberra, his exhibitions focused on work completed at the Canberra School of Art. Throughout the early 2000s Tipoti’s work was met with growing interest in multiple regional galleries in NSW and Queensland and in 2003 he was awarded the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award in the category of works on paper. As an artist inspired by the traditional stories of his people, Tipoti’s work has a strong cultural and spiritual focus. He believes in the Zugabal (the spirits of his ancestors) and their ability to guide his work as an artist. “When I work late at night carving traditional designs, I can sense the presence of the spirits who I verbally acknowledge and thank, in language, for their guidance and help in visualising the words they have given me.” This guidance extends beyond the visual arts and into dance and song. Tipoti has both composed and choreographed chants for performance alongside his works, and through such practices is very much involved in the continuation of his culture and language. Between 2003 and 2004, Tipoti took a brief break from the art world in order to spend more time with his two young children. The death of his parents around that time provided a catalyst for him to refocus on his role within his family, local community and wider Torres Strait Island culture. His father, Leniaso, was an artist and cultural advisor, who fostered in his son an early interest in song and art. Leniaso didn’t speak English and Tipoti credits this as a key factor in shaping his own respect for the importance of his traditional language. Language is critical to Tipoti for he believes that it is the vital ingredient that binds cultures together. “Without language you become a foreigner, lost in another person’s culture… singing and dancing are forms of art that branch out from the centrepiece called language. Everything you do, traditionally or culturally, evolves from a language. When you know the language, you know your culture.” Alick Tipoti is both a cultural ambassador and contemporary artist. He uses his art as an avenue to stimulate wider understandings of the connection between material culture and language, custom and law. This concern with the continuation of his culture has seen Tipoti research ancient artefacts from the Torres Strait, in universities and museums, and these objects have inspired and informed his contemporary works. Tipoti has travelled to Cambridge, England, in order to study treasures taken from the Torres Strait in 1898 by anthropologist Alfred Cort Haddon. Tipoti doesn’t like to dwell on the negative side of this collection taken in the colonial period. Instead, he is grateful to be able to view, and be inspired by, such a collection of original masks, designs, and artworks created by his ancestors. Similarly, he has researched the genealogy of Zenadh Kes (Torres Strait) in order to strengthen his own understanding of his country and people. For Tipoti knowledge is the cornerstone of culture, and his artworks help to make this knowledge available for future generations to learn, understand and practice. Tipoti passes his own knowledge on to students at both Thagai State College and Thursday Island TAFE, where he teaches language, culture and history. Tipoti’s teaching and artistic practice represent an attempt to ensure a dynamic continuation and development of his culture. In 2007, Tipoti won the works on paper category of the Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award for the second time. In the same year, he also held his first solo exhibition, 'Malangu – From the sea’, at the Andrew Baker Gallery in Brisbane. The show was a resounding success and as a result it toured nationally and internationally to 8 other galleries over the course of 2008 and 2009. He was awarded the Silk Cut Award for Lino Prints in 2008 and has drawn widespread praise for the technical skill that drives his practice. In 2011 he held his second solo exhibition, 'Mawa Adhaz Parul – Sorcerer Masks’, at the Australian Art Network Galleries at Canopy Artspace, Cairns. Despite commencing his artistic career as a printmaker, Tipoti has also diversified his practice into mask making. In 2007 he began to make three-dimensional renditions of ceremonial masks. These masks have traditionally been made from wood or turtle shell. Tipoti’s ancestors had mastered the techniques of moulding the carapace of the wunuwa (hawksbill turtle) to construct masks before endowing them with intricate engravings and fretwork. Tipoti has substituted the turtle shell with fibre-glass and resins. The fibre-glass has the required flexibility for moulding and shaping and the stained resin finish resembles the highly polished turtle shells used in traditional practice. As is the case with his printmaking, Tipoti’s mask-making technique utilises contemporary art making practices to express his traditional culture and to highlight the dynamic nature of Torres Strait art making and culture. Tipoti notes that turtle-shell masks were traditionally shrouded in secrecy and the making of the masks was restricted knowledge. Although elements of Tipoti’s work remain undisclosed to viewers, they have also become iconic representations of Torres Strait culture and are widely recognisable. The masks and carving motifs that Tipoti creates play a critical role in the ongoing nourishment of his culture by continuing the creation of culturally significant objects. Any discussion of Alick Tipoti must also make mention of Dennis Nona (b. 1973), as an ongoing influence and significant friend in the artistic revival of Torres Strait art. Both artists grew up together on Badu Island, were classmates at Thursday Island TAFE and then at the Canberra Institute of Art. Nona and Tipoti share a profound mutual respect and pursue similar goals in both their art-making and cultural practice. The print media and sculptural works of both these artists can be seen as the catalysts for what is now recognised as a ‘school of contemporary Torres Strait Islander art.’ The work of Islander artists such as David Bosun, Victor Motlop, Billy Missi, Mario Assan, Rosie Barkus, Teho Ropeyarn and Joey Laifoo have been informed by their success.In 2012, Tipoti was selected to be part of 'UnDisclosed: 2nd National Indigenous Art Triennial’, National Gallery of Australia. Six of Tipoti’s masks were selected for exhibition and now reside in the National Gallery’s Collection. In mid-2012, his monumental 8 metre long linocut, Girelal, was selected for the 18th Biennale of Sydney; ‘All our Relations’ and was exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.

Biography
graffiti artist, hip hop/rap performer and recording artist, was born in Fiji. She came to Australia as a young girl, but old enough to have vivid memories of her island, and she now lives in Parramatta. She began producing aerosol art as a way of affirming her identity in a difficult foreign environment, she said in 2000. Although graff is dominated by male artists Trey’s experience has been that “the older and better you get, the more accepted you are. In the end it is really about skill.” She specialises in both graffiti tags and pieces and weaves together music and graff. “Aerosol art is part of a complex Hip Hop culture that is continually expanding and incorporates the four elements of DJing (turntablism), MCing (master of ceremonies or rhyming), break dancing and graff, with a dynamic and very organised network of people that hold regular events.” Trey is regarded as Sydney’s foremost female MC (Master of Ceremonies or rhyming), according to Maud Page writing in the room brochure for Back to the Walls (Djamu Gallery, Customs House Sydney, 2000), an exhibition that included a large wall of Trey’s work. She identifies similarities between local communal culture and her own Pacific culture: “ 'Hip Hop is a culture, like breaking is your traditional dancing and graff is your tribal art. Pacific cultures have survived and still exist orally, the spoken word, oration, recited genealogies is therefore like MCing.’ In Back to the Walls , Trey combines the cultural and graff aspects she has been experimenting with on CD covers and music fliers to produce large pieces . Particularly influenced by masi (barkcloth), Trey will incorporate the distinctive motifs, colours and bold, grid-like patterns in her pieces .” Trey painted legal graffiti walls at Bondi Beach promenade (1997), Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre (1998), the Settlement, Redfern (1998), Newtown (1998) and Parramatta (1999). She initiated and coordinated two Hip-Hop festivals in Sydney, both called 'Urban – Xpressions’, and she has been rhyming and holding workshops in community centres since 1993. Her work was featured in the documentary Island Style , shown on SBS TV in 1999. In 2002, with other Western Sydney hip hop artists Wire (Will Jarrett) and Maya Jupiter (Melissha Martinez), Trey was MC on an exchange program with the London-based group Ocean, organised by Information and Cultural Exchange program manager Lena Nahlous. They were to give musical and graffiti performances in the UK, Ireland and Japan (source Artswest March 2002, 10). Writers: Kerr, Joan Date written: 1999 Last updated: 2011

Birth Place
Mildura, VIC, Australia
Biography
Craig Charles is a Melbourne-based painter with Yorta Yorta heritage on his father’s side, and Mhutti Mhutti heritage on his mother’s side. Born in 1975 in Mildura, in Latje Latje country, Charles was raised by his great grandparents, Betty Charles, a descendant of the Djara people, and Ron Murray, a descendant of the Wamba Wamba/Lake Boga people. Creativity was part of his life from an early age: the artist remembers listening to stories and drawing with Betty and his siblings at the kitchen table from the age of four. His formal training in art began in 1996, first at the Sunraysia TAFE in Mildura, and then at the Mildura Campus of La Trobe University, where Charles completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1998. As Charles has written in his masters thesis exegesis, a turning point came when an art lecturer “told me about my ability to raise awareness of the 'Koori’ plight, through art” (Charles, 2006:12). Since then Charles’ art practice has been concerned with celebrating Aboriginal people’s resilience, paying tribute to family, ancestors and country, and sharing experiences and stories with wider society. Having lost a number of family members and friends from the Victorian Koori community over the years, creativity of all forms has become a means to draw strength and to heal: the artist describes it as “an amazing form of medicine” (Charles, 2006:8). In 2006 Charles completed a Masters of Fine Arts at RMIT University in Melbourne, during which he pursued these themes and developed technical approaches to articulating them in his work. He has come to draw on a range of artist and natural materials in his paintings for symbolic purposes. For example, gold leaf is frequently employed, as it signifies his respect for his elders and traditional owners. Gold leaf also allows Charles to glorify the country he depicts, such as the Murray River that runs through Latje Latje country, with which he identifies very strongly. The artist has also rubbed his canvases in the earth “to appreciate the physical connection between the image and the land” (Charles, 2006:17), and he uses shellac and oil to bind the dust and grains to the work. Other natural materials such as ochres and charcoal also add texture to his paintings. Charles’ works are recognisable for their dramatic figurative and animal forms and their layered, scraped and glossy surfaces. They are often characterised by a well-defined figure/ground relationship, in which negative space forms a bold, semi-abstract component. In a number of works, Bett’s kitchen tablecloth, symbolised by printed decorative patterning, provides a subtle background. Charles began exhibiting in significant group exhibitions from the mid-1990s, including the National Gallery of Victoria’s “Big Shots Exhibition – We-Iri-We-Homeborn” (1996), the “Art of Place” National Indigenous Heritage Awards exhibitions at Canberra’s Old Parliament House in 1996, 1998 (where he was highly commended in the Emerging Artist section) and 2000, and the touring exhibition “Native Title Business: Contemporary Aboriginal Art” (2002). In 2000 he held his first solo exhibition “Nana Bett and Me” at Melbourne’s Alcaston Gallery and that same year Charles also established his own dance group, The Black Crow Dancers, which toured Singapore, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka. As a young child he was a member of the Latje-Latje Dance Group in Mildura, and alongside painting, dance remains a crucial creative outlet for the artist. Since 2000, Charles has held several solo exhibitions, including “City style, Country Youth” at the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre at the Melbourne Museum in Carlton (2005), “Mungo Stories” at Australia Dreaming Art, Melbourne (2006), and most recently, “Elders Place”, at the Prahran Town Hall in Melbourne in 2007. The 'Elders Place’ series pays homage to his great-grandparents, Betty and Ron. The works exemplify the artist’s treatment of painting as an expression of, and extension of, family togetherness and sharing, honouring the spirit of his formative experiences drawing at the kitchen table. The work Nan and Pop’s Campfire Kitchen – Pumpkin Stew from this series is in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, having won the NGV Acquisitive Prize at the Victorian Indigenous Art Awards, 2007. In 2008 Charles was a finalist for the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award. Charles’ work is also in the collection of the La Trobe University (as a result of having won the 1997 Colin Barrie Acquisition Scholarship), the Koorie Heritage Trust, and Museum Victoria.

Biography
Ainslie Murray is an artist, architect and academic. Born in Adelaide, she graduated from the University of Adelaide with a Bachelor of Architecture, 1st Class Honours in 1999. It was as an undergraduate that Murray first became fascinated with Indian architecture, spending considerable time in Fiji and later undertaking pilgrimages to India in order to study the history and evolution of Indian art and architecture. She also developed a fascination with Japanese art and architecture. Experiencing these cultures first hand inspired and informed her art practice, which is based on the relationship between human gesture and architectural space. Through her work Murray endeavours to show a new way of looking at architectural space, using predominantly translucent and white materials to convey purity in form and content, and to allow for a range of possibilities in terms of light and shadows. Murray’s architectonic installations are tactile as well as visual works of art. In 2006 Murray commenced a practice-based PhD in Visual Arts at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney. In 2007 she began working as a lecturer in the Architecture Program of the Faculty of the Built Environment, University of NSW, and has written both on her teaching and her art works in various Australian and international publications. Murray has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows. Exhibition projects in Australia include 'Ganga’, Muse Gallery (2003); 'Bahanaa’, Little Gallery (2003); 'Sound-Maker’s Place’, SAUC Gallery (2004); 'Exhibition G02’, Sydney College of the Arts (2005); 'The Interference Project’, Tin Sheds Gallery (2007); and 'Tactile Imagination’, Ivan Dougherty Gallery (2007). She has exhibited internationally in India (2004) Japan (2006) Canada (2007), and Tibet (2008). Murray has been awarded numerous grants and scholarships for the development of her work, from Australia Council grants to internal research scholarships through the University of NSW Faculty of the Built Environment. Most significantly, in 2007 she won the Beth Winspear Scholarship, Walking and Art Residency, at The Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada; and in 2009 she was awarded the University of New South Wales studio at the Cite des Arts, Paris.

When responding to Joan Kerr’s survey on the question of why she draws cartoons, Brown stated: “I like that I have a collection of stories that form a kind of diary. I also love the medium. You can make serious comments in a very 'people friendly’ format. I get a lot of satisfaction in the progress of my technique. I like to watch a ridiculous amount of videos & if I draw during them, I feel as if time is valid. I just love everything about comics as an art form.” Participated in Silent Army , Express Media, Fitzroy Vic, 2002 (“20 of Australias young comic book veterans together for the first time”: Bicycle, Blanden, Brown , Carvan, Conn, Cure, Danko, Dodds, Fikaris, Greenberg, Mackay, Mangan, Mrongovius, O’Donnell, Ord, Pox, Savieri, Schell, Smith, Taylor ).

Biography
Bindi Cole, Wathaurung artist and photographer, was born in 1975 in Melbourne. An only child, she was raised by her mother, Vicki Reynolds, in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda, close to Luna Park. Cole’s mother and maternal grandmother also grew up in St Kilda, and the suburb and its community have often been a source of inspiration for her work. Cole became aware of her Aboriginal heritage in her youth, during a period of time when she couldn’t live with her mother and stayed with her paternal grandmother: “I learnt that I was Aboriginal, that my nan had been part of the Stolen Generations and that we belonged to a mob called Wathaurung” (Next Wave Festival website, Cole 2008). Cole left school when she was sixteen, the same year that her mother died. She spent her early adulthood working in a range of jobs and travelling before deciding, at the age of twenty-six, to pursue her long-standing love of photography. As a child Cole had been fascinated by the photographic practice of a neighbour, Mary, who lived in the same block of flats in St Kilda. Mary sometimes took photos of Vicki, who was a dancer, and had set up a darkroom in a small shed behind the flat complex to develop her photographs. It wasn’t long before Cole began to take and develop her own photographs: “When I was a teenager and old enough to own my own camera, my mum bought me one, as well as developing tanks, chemicals, a black out bag and the other items required for me to develop films at home. I took photographs of my friends and my environment, then sat in my bedroom and processed my first rolls of black and white film” (Next Wave Festival website, Cole 2008).Having made the decision to return to photography in her 20s, Cole worked to further her understanding of darkroom printing techniques under the guidance of Melbourne-based photographer Ponch Hawkes. In 2002, Hawkes helped Cole to put together a folio of photographic works to gain entrance to the North Melbourne Institute of TAFE, and in 2004 she completed a Diploma in Applied Photography. In 2005 she collaborated with Elizabeth Clancy and Kylie-Rose Douglas to create the exhibition 'Same Place, Different Face’, which encompassed a film and photographic series that share the same title. The exhibition documented the changing character of St Kilda, and was displayed during the St Kilda festival of that year. In 2007 she staged her first solo exhibition, 'Heart Strong’, at the Koorie Heritage Trust in Melbourne. A portrait of her father, Bryon Powell, which was part of this exhibition, was shortlisted for the 2007 William and Winifred Bowness Photography Prize. Cole has developed an eclectic methodology encompassing painting, collage, text, weaving, film, performance, soundscapes and projections. She enjoys bringing a range of media together, and tries to include a substantial hand-worked element in all her works (Cole & Browning 2009). Besides Hawkes, she has been influenced by the practice of Sue Ford and Brook Andrew. For Cole, the depth of Ford’s career as a female artist photographer has been a source of inspiration, while Andrew opened her eyes to what she could aspire to as an Indigenous artist, and how it was possible to bring multiple media into conversation in one’s work (Cole, pers. comm. 2009). Cole has also been mentored by the writer and artistic director Donna Jackson, who in the past had worked with Cole’s mother, Vicki, a writer of plays and short stories. Cole works with a range of manual and digital cameras, and all of her images are resolved with some degree of digital manipulation using programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator. For her 2008 solo exhibition 'Post Us’ at Boscia Galleries, Cole storyboarded the images, sourced costumes, props and models and shot the series in a studio on medium format film. Having processed and scanned the film, Cole then undertook a labour-intensive digital manipulation process using Photoshop, whereby the figures were cut out from the studio backgrounds and assimilated with backdrops which Cole had hand painted and photographed. Cole also created a soundscape to accompany these works in the exhibition space.Cole’s choice of subject and her portrayal of them are always underpinned by some kind of social commentary and critique. Her works seek to draw attention to the way the category of Aboriginality, as it is constructed and policed by non-Indigenous Australians, circumscribes the variety of experiences that constitute contemporary Aboriginal Australian identity. A number of her recent works have explored controversial themes and individuals. Her portrait of the Aboriginal boxer Anthony Mundine, Do you like what you see (2007), received the Boscia Galleries Award for Photography at the 2007 Victorian Indigenous Art Awards. This work was inspired by the fact that The Daily Telegraph had refused to cover one of the boxer’s super-middleweight title fights that was taking place in Australia, as punishment for comments he had made about the prevalence of discrimination against Aboriginal sportsmen (Media Watch 2007). By presenting Mundine as self-absorbed and vulnerable, Cole’s image offered a counterpoint to his abrasive and outspoken public persona. Another portrait of Mundine, titled Nothing to Hide was shortlisted for the National Photographic Portrait Prize in 2007. In How to be a Domestic Goddess (2008), “Foxy”, an Aboriginal drag queen, stands in her glistening kitchen looking out the window. This work was shortlisted for the 2008 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards and the 2008 Victorian Indigenous Art Awards. In 2008 Cole was commissioned by the Unity Foundation to produce a calendar titled Men in Black, consisting of photographic portraits of male Aboriginal sports stars. The calendar sought to contribute to the reappraisal of black masculinity in Australia, and sought to raise funds for the Foundation, which is a not-for-profit organisation devoted to assisting marginalised Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to achieve success and wellbeing through social programs, events, mentoring and education. Such objectives resonate with Cole’s own ideals: at the core of her sense of purpose as an artist is a desire to instill pride amongst members of the Aboriginal community, and to create positive images of Aboriginal people that can counteract the negative portrayals that she feels are prevalent in the Australian media (Cole & Browning 2009).2008 also saw Cole exhibit a series of works titled Not Really Aboriginal in a solo exhibition at the Centre for Contemporary Photography in Melbourne as part of the 2008 Next Wave Festival. Not Really Aboriginal commented on the contestation of light-skinned, urban-based Aboriginal people’s identity, a contestation familiar to Cole herself:“I’ve always been told that I was Aboriginal. I never questioned it because of the colour of my skin or where I lived. My Nan, part of the Stolen Generation, was staunchly proud and strong. She made me feel the same way. My land takes in Ballarat, Geelong and Werribee and extends west past Cressy to Derrinallum… All the descendants of traditional Victorian Aboriginal people are now of mixed heritage. I’m not black. I’m not from a remote community. Does that mean I’m not really Aboriginal?” (Cole in CCP 2008).The series includes portraits and family scenes in which the subjects’ faces are blackened with minstrel paint. While she was formulating her ideas on how to approach the subject of being a light-skinned Aboriginal person, Cole learnt that a Melbourne costume shop stocked tins of Minstrel Black and Negro Brown pancake make-up, imported from New York. As Cole related to Daniel Browning on ABC Radio’s Awaye program, she was compelled to work with 'blackface’ because: “I had to take that old stereotype, or that old racist visual cue and flip it on its head” (Cole & Browning 2009). In the work Wathaurung Mob (2008), Cole and her relatives are arranged as a family group and have adopted serious, almost regal poses. The understated clothing and interior creates an impression of benign domesticity, however this homeliness is offset by the impact of the painted faces, the red bandannas and the way the subjects hold the viewer’s gaze. This work, among others, was included in the exhibition 'Inheritance’, shown at the Australian Centre for Photography in Sydney (2009). Three works from the Not Really Aboriginal series were acquired by the Art Gallery of Western Australia in 2008. In 2008 Cole produced a series of collaborative works with Aboriginal sculptor Lorraine Connelly-Northey for the exhibition 'A Time Like This’ at the Margaret Lawrence Gallery of the Victorian College of the Arts. 'A Time Like This’ commemorated a century of women’s suffrage in Victoria, and this series, which was acquired by the Koori Heritage Trust, took the historical objectification and control of Aboriginal women as its theme. In designing the works, Cole and Connelly-Northey collaborated with the Koori artist and writer Jirra Lulla Harvey. Harvey is a close creative associate of Cole’s; she curated and wrote the exhibition essay for 'A Time Like This’, and in 2009 Cole and Harvey were working together on a project involving the transsexual/transgender community on the Tiwi Islands.Besides St Kilda, Cole has also lived in Newport and in 2009 was living in Altona North, which is on the shores of Port Phillip Bay just west of Melbourne. Alongside her art practice, she works as a freelance photographer for community events, and within the arts and music industry.

Biography
Brett Ross was born in Bairnsdale in 1975 and is a descendant of the Gunai/Kurnai and Mutthi Mutthi people in New South Wales. Ross spent his early years in Wemba Wemba country at Deniliquin where his grandparents Laura Theresa Edwards and Neil Peter Ross (known as Rusty) raised him. Ross moved to Sydney at fourteen where he completed his schooling before deciding it was time to go home to Bairnsdale to be with his natural mother, Marilyn Stephens. As he started learning about his culture, Ross began practicing art, eventually finding his preferred medium of drawing, though he also works with other media such as printmaking. Brett began to draw to mend his identity and explore his Aboriginality. By 2000 he was awarded the Young Emerging Artist of the Year by Aboriginal Affairs Victoria. Working simply in ball point pen on paper to create intricate drawings, he held a sell out solo exhibition in 2001 featuring Moonahclullah memories, connections and stories. He studied units in the Diploma of Visual Arts and Graphic Design at the East Gippsland Institute of TAFE. Ross’s drawings typically relate to his life and culture and show an artistic talent that incorporates respect for traditional themes based on solid research as well as the contemporary lives of Aboriginal people today. The East Gippsland Aboriginal Arts Corporation logo is a fine example of his work. Writers: East Gippsland Aboriginal Arts Corporation Date written: 2008 Last updated: 2009

Wynyard, TAS, Australia
Biography
Video artist Duncan Adam Robinson is a descendant of the Trawlwoolway people of northeast Tasmania. He was born in Wynyard, on Tasmania’s northwest coast in 1975, and lived there until he moved to Hobart in 1994. Robinson’s art practice began in 1991 when on a family visit to Port Arthur he began to explore photography in a manner that departed from conventional holiday pictures: suddenly he became less interested in what was being photographed, and more attentive to how the subject looked inside the frame. Furthermore, one photo he took had the appearance of an old-style still life, which led him to think further about the art of photography. Sergei Eisenstein’s film The Battleship Potemkin, which was brought to Robinson’s attention in the artist’s last year of high school, was a significant early reference point for him as an artist. In correspondence with the author he stated of the film: 'I was fascinated by the cinematic style and editing and I took photographic stills of it straight off the television’ (Robinson, 2008). Specifically, Eisenstein’s editing style awoke Robinson to the way a particular editing approach can bring a distinctive character to a work. In 1994 Robinson began a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Tasmanian School of Art, University of Tasmania, Hobart, which he completed with Honours in 1999. Initially his undergraduate focus was photography, but by his final year he had become bored with the practice and his interests shifted to video. He went on to complete a Master of Fine Arts in 2002 as a video artist under the mentorship of new media artist and Tasmanian School of Art lecturer Leigh Hobba. Robinson first exhibited his work in 1997 in the group exhibition 'Glass Eye’ at the Entrepot Gallery, Hobart. Group exhibitions in which he participated during his postgraduate years include 'Somewhere Between Then and Now’, at Hobart’s CAST Gallery, and 'Between Phenomena – The Panorama in Tasmania’ at Plimsoll Gallery, Hobart, both in 2001. Robinson describes his work as being characterised by an appreciation of the 'flaws, glitches, breaks, imperfections and interruptions’ that can be revealed and exacerbated in video, television and photography: 'rather than editing them out I allow them a life and a chance to be seen in another context’ (pers comm, 2008). For his first solo exhibition, ’22 (pieces from a mechanism that travels in a fixed course)’, at Entrepot Gallery, Hobart (2000), Robinson was interested in creating static renditions of the moving image of the video tape, and the show consisted of digital stills – appearing as black images specked with colour – captured from Robinson’s direct physical handling of the tape. Emidio Puglielli, writing in a 2005 Photofile article, describes the artist’s approach as: 'Like a DJ at his turntables Duncan Robinson pops the cover off his VCR to physically manipulate the tape and heads, which disrupts the analogue signal to create visual noise – coloured static on black ground. His work explores the electro-mechanical space of the equipment’ (pg. 37). In the 2002 solo exhibition ’22 (physicality of the analogue)’ at Hobart’s Fine Arts Gallery, Robinson showcased his completed Masters work; a suite of works that had been created from his performance piece of physically interacting with the video tape as it moved through the player. Multiple projectors and monitors displayed varied portrayals of coloured static spots and bars of static that Robinson had constructed during the performance. By attending to the aesthetic and aural possibilities of static, repetition, flawed signals, degraded videotape and the low-resolution imagery that can be created by cameras or mobile phones, Robinson has sought to explore people’s relationship to media and technology. This preoccupation is informed by his position as both an observer and creator of popular culture: he has written and performed music with several bands in Hobart since 1995, including hMAS, Elvis Christ and The Nurses, and since 2000 has created video and sound performances for musical events. In 2008 Robinson was also hosting a film review radio show on Hobart’s Edge Radio. The installation ’22 (the usage of the intrusive)’, which featured in the Salamanca Arts Centre exhibition 'Skin’ (2004), curated by Fiona Foley and Jenny Gorringe, exemplifies this concern with people’s relationship to media and technology. The work foregrounded static as the disruptive antithesis to perfect television transmission. Robinson writes in the 'Skin’ exhibition catalogue: 'Static is the television’s way of making our skin crawl’ (2004, pg. 22). Robinson also conceives of his video imagery as analogous to a landscape that situates him as an Indigenous Australian, a landscape to be explored and narrated. The Tracker, which was included in the exhibition 'The Bodies That Were Not Ours’, held at the Linden Centre for Contemporary Arts in Melbourne (2006), is an introspective work inspired in part by the figure of the Aboriginal tracker in the 2001 film One Night The Moon, directed by Rachel Perkins. The artist tracked his own movements and experiences in various settings with a mobile phone camera as part of an open-ended journey of discovery. He then took this self-reflective imagery 'back to the analogue realm of the video player’ and overlaid it onto videotape that he had previously manipulated physically, which was 'then played over a hundred times to further degrade the image’ (Robinson, 2006). Robinson comes from a family of artists: his three sisters, Megan Robinson, Brooke Robinson and Rebecca Robinson, and his cousin Denise Robinson are all practising artists who work across a range of media. In late 2008 Robinson was living in Hobart and working as a motorcycle instructor and exam supervisor while continuing his art practice, musical endeavours and working on a film script.

Biography
Jeremy “Mudjai” Devitt was born in Armidale, NSW in 1974. He is a descendent of the Nganyaywana, Daingutti (Dhanggatti) and Gumbainga (Gumbaynggir) nations and has English, Irish and Scottish heritage. At the age of 19 and halfway through his High School Certificate academic year Devitt contracted Ross River Fever. This illness changed the course of his artistic life as Devitt decided to take time out to learn more about his own culture and to pursue painting as a career. In 1997 Devitt traveled to Darwin, NT for the Fullbright Symposium on Indigenous Cultures in an Interconnected World. It was here he met “uncle” Peter Manabaru, a traditional man from the Barunga community of Arnhem Land, NT, who allowed Devitt to paint with him. In 1999 Devitt was then placed under the guidance of artist and elder “uncle” Joseph Beard-Wallace of Ramingining, also in Arnhem Land, NT. Together they painted for several years in a style that Devitt calls Spiritway and in 2002 they had a joint exhibition at the Byron Bay Youth Centre in Byron Bay, NSW. Devitt has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally with shows at The Hague, Den Haag, The Netherlands in 2006; Roda Sten, Gothenburg, Sweden in 2004; Helsingborg, Sweden in 2004; Rouguld Festival, Amsterdam, Holland in 2004 and at The Outback Gallery in Sydney also in 2004. In 2007 Devitt was a finalist in the Festival of Fishers Ghost Art Award at Campbelltown Arts Centre and the Parliament of NSW Indigenous Art Prize at NSW Parliament House, Sydney. He was commissioned by the Sydney South West Area Health Service to produce the painting he refers to as his Medicine Painting that now hangs in the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Camperdown, NSW.Devitt is not only a painter but is known as a didgeridoo player and dancer and in 1998 together with Sean Ryan and Roy Newman he founded a dance troupe known as the Wadjarnaru Dancers.At the time of writing Devitt was a student of art at the Eora College in Darlington, an inner city suburb of Sydney.

Biography
Guy Maestri was born in Mudgee, New South Wales, in 1974. He completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) in painting at the National Art School (NAS), Sydney, in 2002 and in the same year was Highly Commended in the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship exhibition. He received the commendation again in 2003, a year that also saw him win the NAS Paris Studio Award residency and the William Fletcher Fellowshi As a landscape painter, Maestri is gestural, abstract and experimental. Although upon occasion he makes sculptures, such as the resin cane toads which feature in his work Unnatural Selection (2008), he finds painting a more satisfying medium as it is more immediate than the time consuming process of moulding and casting sculpture. Maestri regards his portrayal of the natural world as more instinctive than deliberate. Having grown up in the Australian countryside, he enjoys capturing observations of wildlife, noting at the same time humanity’s impact on the natural environment. Painting from his studio in the Sydney suburb of Chippendale, Maestri works from his memories and experiences of regional Australia. His Field Studies (2008) series explores the gradual elimination of certain features from the natural world. Not only does Maestri often paint endangered species but, within the one work, he can repeat a species form over and over until the “confident tracing of a shape appears lost through repetition” (Chow 2008). In Gang Gang (2007), he chooses not to depict a bird literally, but to capture a sense of the creature by allowing the image to emerge and disappear through layering. Maestri’s 'Natural Selection’ exhibition of 2008 was a series of paintings that resulted from his visit to a friend’s farm in Victoria. Affected by the degraded and dry land, he painted abstract landscapes and made use of found objects he brought back to his studio. The Darwinian title to the exhibition is intrinsically linked to related ideas in Maestri’s work: he is interested in the way native and introduced species interact, the theory of natural selection, extinction, ecosystems, erosion, sedimentation, forgetfulness and memory.Once a year Maestri steers himself away from the natural environment to paint a portrait for the Archibald Prize. Having being rejected eight times, then winning the People’s Choice Award at the 2001 Salon des Refuses, in 2009 Maestri won the Archibald Prize. His winning entry was a portrait of blind Indigenous singer Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, which Maestri painted after being moved by Yunupingu’s performance at the Peats Ridge Festival in 2008. Maestri took the opportunity to meet Yunupingu at the airport, where he drew sketches and took a photograph. From this experience Maestri “got a sense of his presence and this determined the nature of the portrait: quiet and strong” (Art Gallery of New South Wales 2009).For Maestri the Archibald Prize, “kick started a whole new way of approaching painting,” (Maestri in Droll 2009). His focus shifted from local environment to global, from abstract to figurative, and from a colourful to a monochromatic palette. Referencing images taken from the web, his 2009 show at Tim Olsen Gallery, 'Google Earth’, included observations of humanity’s struggles with mortality and interrelated concerns about the effects of global warming on nature. Maestri has had numerous solo exhibitions in Australia and has also exhibited internationally in the United Kingdom and the United States and Hong Kong. He was a finalist in the 2007 and 2008 Dobell Drawing Prize. Writers: Grisedale, AlexandraDe Lorenzo, Catherine Date written: 2009 Last updated: 2011

Biography
Darren Sylvester, photographer, video artist, painter, sculptor and musician, was born in Sydney, New South Wales in 1974. He went to school in Byron Bay, moving to Wagga Wagga in his final years of high school, and later studied at the Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, where he graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Fine Art Photography, Graphic Design. Three years after his graduation, Sylvester was selected for the annual ‘Primavera’ exhibition, which showcased the work of emerging artists and was held at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art. This exhibition prompted national recognition of Sylvester’s work following prior solo shows in Wagga Wagga and Melbourne. By the middle of 2012, Sylvester had been represented in 84 group exhibitions and 25 solo exhibitions in Australia, primarily in Sydney and Melbourne, and overseas in countries such as China, Singapore, the United States of America, Thailand and New Zealand. One area within Sylvester’s multi-disciplinary art practice is his creation of highly composed, staged photographs of everyday scenes in crisp, glossy clarity, frequently including visual references to global brands as a reflection of reality, rather than a critique of consumerism. His photographic work often draws upon lines of text from his short stories, with a statement becoming a title for a photograph and triggering thoughts for the corresponding scene. A noted piece in Sylester’s oeuvre is the full-scale replica he built of the Japanese garden originally enjoyed by the 1970s sibling pop duo ‘The Carpenters’ at their home in Los Angeles. The reconstruction was destroyed after filming the artificial garden for a video installation titled I Was the Last in the Carpenter’s Garden, where the film is projected onto screens, accompanied by a turntable playing Sylvester’s own album of songs. Indeed, Sylvester also works as a musician and in 2009 he released a self-titled debut album with the music label Unstable Ape/Remote Control Records. Previously, in 2006, the ‘Australian Art Collector’ magazine listed Sylvester as one of the 50 Most Collectable Artists, demonstrating the significant national recognition he had already acquired at this early point in his career. Also contributing to his prominent artistic reputation are the numerous grants and awards he has received, such as the New Work Grant from the Australian Council for the Arts in 2010, the William and Winifred Bowness Photography Prize (Adobe Honourable Mention), Monash Gallery of Art, Melbourne in that same year, and the 2011 Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award, Gold Coast City Gallery, Gold Coast. Adding to his list of accomplishments, Sylvester graduated with a Master of Fine Art from Monash University, Melbourne, in 2010. His work is represented in several public collections throughout Australia, including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra and Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, as well as in Australian and foreign private collections, including the collection of the renowned British singer Sir Elton John.

Biography
cartoonist and comic-book artist, was born in Sydney on 21 May 1974. In 1992-96 she was a Bachelor of Visual Arts student at the ANU Canberra School of Art majoring in painting. Her first cartoons appeared in 1994 in the self-published comic Wilnot and in Smell My Finger , a comedy newspaper produced at the Australian National University [ANU]. In 1994 she co-edited and published Fruity Murmurs , a collection of comics by Canberra women, with Kirrily Schell . Between 1994 and 1997 her cartoons appeared in a wide range of alternative comix, including Black Light Angels (Sydney), Manky (Canberra), Cruel World (Sydney), DIY Feminism (Sydney, ed. Kathy Bail), Tango 1 & 2 (Melbourne comic anthologies on the theme of romance), Nice (Melbourne), Sticky Date (Canberra), Sick Puppy (Sydney), Ink (Canberra), Bump & Snore (Canberra), Gar Gah Gag (Sydney), Woroni (ANU student newspaper), Cumquat (Melbourne), Wilnot 2-6 (her self-published comic), Fruity Mumurs 2 (Canberra; published by women ANU students) and Voiceworks (Melbourne magazine). In 1998 Ord had cartoons in May and August HQ , published Wilnot 7 , exhibited her original drawings for comics in the 14th International Exhibition of Drawings in Croatia (on the theme of comics), produced Pantry , an anthology of about 40 Australian comic artists, and contributed 'separate wavelengths’ to the website One. Her work was on the digitarts site (no longer in operation) along with other 'Ladies of the black ink’ – Amber Carvan , Nicola Hardy , Fiona Katauskas , Indira Neville (NZ) and Schell – and the sick puppy comix site (also no longer in operation). Early in 1999 she was included in a cartoon exhibition at Spiral Arm, Canberra, along with Horacek & other Canberra cartoonists (mostly non-mainstream men). Later that year she moved to Melbourne, where she works as a customer service officer for Device Technologies Australia. Her cartoons appeared in the Melbourne underground comix Pure Evil and Milkbar (which also features articles and reviews) and she self-published a comic, The Side of the Road . From October 1999 she occasionally had typically abrasive cartoons published in Orbit , the internet supplement in the Weekend Australian . They usually involved gruesome puns and word play, e.g., 'Not only was her smile contagious, it was incredibly itchy as well’, showing an unstable-looking girl grinning at a boy scratching at replicas of her smile dotted pimple-like over his face. In October 2000, however, Amber Cavan and Richard Vogt’s website stated: “ Mandy Ord 's cartoons have mysteriously disappeared from ORBIT in The Weekend Australian much to the chagrin of myself and other fans. Some other person is doing the cartoon spot now and they really are quite bad! Come back Mandy! When in Melbourne Richard picked up a couple of copies of her latest mini comic, SIDE OF THE ROAD.” In correspondence with Kerr in 1999 (Joan Kerr Archives, National Library of Australia) Ord wrote that she planned to have work in Top Shelf (USA), publish Wilnot 8 and produce an 'SPX’ catalogue for the small press expo in 2000. Regarding her work, she said: “I draw comics to tell a story, and for me the best way to tell a story is through words and images combined. Out of this combination, in terms of visual and textual references is born an accessible unrestricted medium that seems to have almost no boundaries in regards to subject matter. “Also, the nature of comics means that it isn’t too difficult to reproduce my own work via a photocopier. Using this method of reproduction means that I can distribute comics widely, through the mail and via any small press friendly retail outlets. This puts me in contact with other comic artists, out of which is born collaboration and anthologies which are a good way of exposing the work of the local comic talent. “Comics excite me visually and I love [the fact] that humour, tragedy, real life and fantasy have endless combinations and ways of being explored.” Participated in Silent Army , Express Media, Fitzroy Vic, 2002 (“20 of Australias young comic book veterans together for the first time”: Bicycle, Blanden, Brown, Carvan, Conn, Cure, Danko, Dodds, Fikaris, Greenberg, Mackay, Mangan, Mrongovius, O’Donnell, Ord , Pox, Savieri, Schell, Smith, Taylor ).

Biography
Wade Marynowsky works across a number of new media forms including video, music, installation and interactive media. His work mocks the stereotypes of Australian visual culture while constructing a critique of the way new media has engaged – or failed to engage – with an audience. Performance video pieces such as The_Geek_From_Swampy_Creek [2007] has gentle fun with the clichés of new media, mocking the nerdish stereotype of the boffin-artist, while Uranium Country [2005] revels in ridiculous meetings of nature and technology – a glowing koala head with swirling red mandala eyes floating over a rapidly moving background. Although broad in their delivery, Marynowsky’s live video mix performances have at their centre a sophisticated notion of transmutation as a defining characteristic of the relationship between sound and image, a continual and subtle evolution of one state to another.Working in what the artist describes as “serious mode (no costumes)” pieces such as Apocalypse Later [2004] reveal the complexity of Marynowsky’s project. Using a vast array of material recorded around the country – including images of nature from national parks and historical re-enactments from theme parks – Apocalypse Later was produced using a custom-designed computer program to create a live mix of sound and image. The result evoked the visual clichés of Australian nationhood while leaving the distinct impression that the construction of its national identity grew from distinctly unnatural forms. Marynowsky’s Autonomous Improvisation VI [2007] explored the notion of the uncanny through the presentation of an automaton – in this case a computer-controlled Pianola – and a three-screen video installation of musical performances by musicians and burlesque artists. Like his live video mixes, Autonomous Improvisation VI offered an intriguing take on the notion of improvisation, asking if the mere coincidence of data equated to a real or “unreal” experience.

Biography
Working across a broad array of media, including spray paint, prints, sculpture, paste-ups, textile foils and installations, Reko Rennie-Gwaybilla straddles the spheres of both street and fine art as well as private and public spaces, forging a new road for contemporary Aboriginal art informed by both his heritage as a Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay/Gummaroi man, and his urban upbringing. Born in Melbourne in 1974, Rennie-Gwaybilla grew up in the working-class, inner-city suburb of Footscray. Although never formally trained, Rennie-Gwaybilla was surrounded by art growing up as his father is the well-known Aboriginal artist Biggibilla Gummaroi. Inspired by the discovery of the genre-defining book, Subway Art in the local library as a teenager, which showed the possibilities of public expression through graffiti for disaffected youth, he also undertook an important internship on the streets. As a result, graffiti became a life-long passion and important grounding for his future work. Whilst he ended his days as a self-proclaimed ‘young punk,’ in his 20s, his concern for notions of dislocation felt by Aboriginal people in urban environments never left him, as expressed by Rennie-Gwaybilla himself: “I grew up in the city, and I’ve got that connection. I’m an urban Aboriginal dude, I’m comfortable with my identity, and that’s what I try to portray in my work.” Following the advice of his father to “get a career behind you before you start doing art”, Rennie-Gwaybilla entered the workforce as a print journalist for The Age newspaper, which exposed him to a range of socio-political and economic issues affecting Aboriginal people. Frustrated by the limitations of this medium as a platform from which to convey his views on such problems, Rennie-Gwaybilla turned his attention back to his passion, pulling ‘all-nighters’ to make art whilst also working his day job. His great dedication to his art during this period was reflected by the prolific number of group exhibitions in which he participated: around thirteen in the space of a year alone. Rennie-Gwaybilla’s artistic development also mirrored his discipline and commitment, and he quickly honed his skills to achieve a highly articulate, intelligent and innovative practice, mixing traditional imagery with contemporary styles, including Op Art, Pop Art and graphic design principles. Granted permission to use the scar tree diamond design of the Kamilaroi people through his familial connections, he sampled this symbology in bright, pop colours, often featuring neon pink. Combining these patterns with intricate stencils of traditional Aboriginal iconography, Australian fauna and flora as well as secular icons, Rennie-Gwaybilla established a personal style that manifested his own sense of Aboriginality in an urban world: a recontextualisation of heritage within contemporary culture. Informed by both his experience as a journalist and by his family’s struggles, which included his great uncle’s defiance of a racist curfew in Walgett and the Stolen Generation’s ensnarement of his own grandmother only a few decades ago, Rennie-Gwaybilla set out to address contemporary issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. With the aim of courting rather than confronting viewers, Rennie-Gwaybilla’s work conveys a political subtext that addresses colonial legacies, deaths in custody, land rights and identity politics, by drawing people in through aesthetically appealing colours complementing his geometric patterns. A pivotal point in launching Rennie-Gwaybilla’s art career came in 2008 when he won the prestigious Victorian Indigenous Art Award. That same year, he continued to build his profile, participating in a number of notable group exhibitions both internationally and in Australia, including ‘Anonymous Drawings # 9’, Berlin; ‘Gulpa Ngarwul’, Koorie Heritage Trust, Melbourne; ‘Small Works 2008’, Brunswick Street Gallery, Melbourne; and the ‘Linden Postcard Show,’ LINDEN Centre for Contemporary Arts, St Kilda. Further awards and residencies were soon to follow; Rennie-Gwaybilla was granted a coveted Australia Council funded residency at the Cite International des Arts in Paris, listed as a finalist in the Royal Bank of Scotland Emerging Artist Award, and awarded an arts grant by the City of Port Philip in 2009. He left his mark on Paris, and in 2010 was the first Australian artist to receive an invitation to produce a site-specific mural in Paris by the Le M.U.R. association, regarded as one of the highest honours in the street art community. Holding his first solo shows in 2009 at Dianne Tanzer gallery and the Koorie Heritage Trust in Melbourne, Rennie-Gwaybilla went on to regularly exhibit at Dianne Tanzer and in private and public galleries nationally, including at Tandanya Artspace in South Australia in 2011 and at Black Magic at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. His commercial and critical success culminated in the invitation to exhibit at the SCOPE Art Fair in New York in 2012. Rennie-Gwaybilla’s appreciation of issues surrounding the world’s first peoples extended to undertaking certain international collaborations, including a project at the Museum of Contemporary Native Art in Santa Fe in 2010 with his friend and fellow Native American Indian artist, Frank Buffalo Hyde, and an installation with Indonesian artist Buyangan Urban at Gallery Salihara in Jakarta in 2011. Rennie-Gwaybilla has continued to exhibit in numerous group shows, including, most significantly, ‘WATTLE’ in the Cat Street Gallery in Hong Kong in 2011, the Australian Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo in 2010 and in 2013 in ‘My Country, I Still Call Australia Home: Contemporary Art from Black Australia’ at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane. In 2012 Rennie-Gwaybilla was shortlisted for his portrait of Hetti Perkins in arguably the most important Australian group show, the Archibald Prize. From humble beginnings as a clandestine street artist, Rennie-Gwaybilla has come to be regarded as a valuable public artist, having been the recipient of several prominent commissions including the 3CR Mural Project in 2010, funded by Arts Victoria and the Victorian Government, and the ‘Always was, Always will be’ building facade in Taylor Square as part of the City of Sydney’s Streetware program for 2012. Due to its highly favourable reception, this facade has become a long-term addition to the streetscape. Rennie-Gwaybilla’s work is held in many significant private and public collections, including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, the Koorie Heritage Trust in Melbourne, ArtBank, City of Yarra and the New Contemporary Art Museum, soon to be completed in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. His paste-ups also grace public walls all over the world from Paris to Jakarta, New York to Mumbai and Berlin where you may find his striking Big Red, the infamous, anthropomorphic, proud pink roo: a symbol of resistance and testament to the survival of Aboriginal culture and its people. It stares down romanticized stereotypes in an urban landscape, marking territory. Emerging from the graffiti subculture to become an internationally renowned Aboriginal artist with many awards and residencies to his name, an important outcome for Rennie-Gwaybilla in his success is his ability to give back to his community, committing to various workshops with aboriginal youths and talking with them about issues of identity in an urban context. In 2012 Rennie-Gwaybilla conducted a series of street art workshops with Aboriginal youths to reinvigorate an iconic terrace at ‘the Block’ in Redfern. Collaborating with several young artists on a mural that looked at the past, the present and the future of the area, Rennie-Gwaybilla not only provided participants with the ‘tricks of the trade,’ to realise their artistic intentions, he also demonstrated the importance of belief in yourself, goals and the role of art as a ‘way out’ and powerful tool for reinterpreting and expressing aboriginality. Rennie-Gwaybilla’s art, which has followed a trajectory characterized by discipline, experimentation and innovation, has produced a highly intelligent language that successfully reinterprets aboriginal identity within a urban world. The ubiquity of Rennie-Gwaybilla’s message of remembrance, respect and revision for a living culture has continued to develop with his commitment to community programs and allegiance to a joyful style that shines a bright light on serious issues; they glow neon in contemporary consciousness.

Cindy is still researching her family history but believes she has links to the Walmadjari people of Western Australia. Cindy was born in Bairnsdale in 1974, the daughter of George Dean and Heather Morgan and currently resides in the Sale area. Cindy says that she has recently become aware that she was born into a creative family and considers herself a “late-bloomer”. Her father, whom she describes as a “deadly painter”, inspires Cindy. Becoming more culturally aware is a goal for Cindy who was never denied her heritage and learnt about her culture from family members. An exciting developing artist in her first few years of practice, Cindy’s varied style shows an innate emerging talent. Initially supported through the Aboriginal arts group Mix Up, which started in Sale during 2007, Cindy has since begun studying art at TAFE. With an expressed appreciation for traditional and contemporary Koori art, Cindy enjoys using bright colours and learning about different mediums and techniques and hungers for art and cultural experience. Cindy wants to be a professional artist capable in a variety of mediums and says: “I want my children to look up to me and have the same determination as I have whatever path they choose”.

Biography
Christopher Young was born in New Zealand in the mid-seventies. After finishing his studies he moved to Germany in 1996 before settling in Perth, Western Australia in 2002. He then moved to Margaret River in 2017. Isolation is a recurring theme in his life and work – the remoteness of growing up in semi-rural New Zealand, the loneliness of living in Germany as a poor German speaker and since 2002 the geographic and ideological seclusion of life in Australia, have all coloured his artistic practice. Context, broader concepts surrounding the use of captions and a lack of a personal cultural library have been central themes explored in his work.

She has shown her work in a number of exhibitions including the '2nd Asia Pacific Triennal’ at the Queensland Art Gallery in 1996/1997, 'Black Humour’ at the Canberra Contemporary Art Space in 1997 as well as the 2001 exhibition “Gatherings Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art From Queensland Australia” in Brisbane. In the 'Gatherings’ accompanying catalogue she states that she likes “to use humour in my work … the ability to laugh at ourselves and to laugh at the times we find ourselves in, an overall sense of the ridiculous and the absurd … I see it as a necessary tool for survival and self determination … a spoonful of sugar helps the metaphor go down.” This entry is a stub.

Woomera, SA, Australia
Biography
Yhonnie Scarce, a descendant of the Kokatha and Nukunu people, was born in Woomera, South Australia, in 1973. After leaving school, Scarce worked as a clerical support officer at the Research Branch of the University of Adelaide, then as a trainee in the visual arts department at Tandanya National Cultural Institute for a year before taking up a three year position as a receptionist for Wilto Yerlo – the Centre for Australian Indigenous Research and Studies at the University of Adelaide – but she found office work unsatisfying. During this time she considered enrolling at university as she had maintained an interest in being creative since school. She investigated what courses were available at the University of South Australia, discovering that glassblowing was offered as a major subject. Excited by the idea of learning how to work with this medium she enrolled in a Bachelor of Visual Arts in 2001, majoring in Glass (painting was her minor subject). Scarce completed her undergraduate studies in 2003 as the first Aboriginal student to graduate from that institution with a major in Glass. She then immediately took up an Honours degree in Visual Arts at the same university, completing this in 2004. In 2005 Scarce participated in a masterclass at North Lands Creative Glass Centre in Lybster, Scotland, and in 2007 she was a recipient of the 'Women in Research Fellowship’ from Monash University, where in 2008 she enrolled in a Masters of Fine Arts.Scarce began exhibiting in 2004 with her first solo exhibition, a self-titled show at the BANK Gallery, University of South Australia, and also in her graduate exhibition that same year. She continued to exhibit her glass works throughout Adelaide in various galleries including Nexus Multicultural Artspace, Tandanya (with her second solo show, 'Forget me 'NOT’', in 2006), Adelaide Festival Centre, Samstag Art Museum and the Drill Hall. She has also exhibited her work at Harrison Galleries in Sydney, and at Manningham Gallery and Linden Centre for Contemporary Art in Melbourne. The Linden Centre’s exhibition of 2008, 'The Haunted and the Bad’, was curated by Julie Gough and also featured Joel Birnie, Nici Cumpston, Tony Albert and Andrea Fisher. Her hand-blown glass objects often reference the on-going effects of colonisation on Aboriginal people and comment on the social and political mores of historical and contemporary Australia in regards to this colonisation. Shackled is a delicate work of blown-glass Australian Indigenous fruits and nuts, strung together by a necklace-sized chain. This work talks of the restrictions placed upon Aboriginal people once their traditional way of life was removed from them through past government policies. Carrie Miller, in her article for the January-March 2009 edition of Australian Art Collector quotes writer and curator Timothy Morell who said of Scarce that she has “pulled the medium of glass right out of its crafty comfort zone and exploited its potential, perhaps for the first time in Australia, to be emotionally and politically expressive” (pg. 120).Though only working professionally as an artist since 2004, Scarce was short-listed for the 2006 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and the 2007 Xstrata Coal Emerging Indigenous Art Award at Queensland Art Gallery. In 2008 she was the South Australian state recipient of the inaugural Qantas Foundation Encouragement of Australian Contemporary Art Award. The other state award recipients were Karena Keys (ACT), Alex Davies (NSW), Neridah Stockley (NT), Vernon Ah Kee (QLD), Brigita Ozolins (TAS), Katherine Huang (VIC), and Tom Muller (WA).In July of 2009 Scarce was able to showcase her work to an international audience when she participated in a group show 'Glassheart’ at Fort Vuren, Loevestein, in the Netherlands. This project came about when fellow glass artist Gerry King recommended her to the organisers of the exhibition.Though making a name as a glass artist, Scarce states that “since graduating from UniSA I have become more of an interdisciplinary artist, working with installation, ephemeral and time-based work” (pers comm, 2009). Her solo show at Tandanya included paintings as well as glass work. Scarce’s work is held in the permanent collections of the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Flinders University Art Museum, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and the University of South Australia Art Collection. In 2009 Scarce was living, studying and working in Melbourne, Victoria. Writers: Allas, TessNote: Date written: 2009 Last updated: 2011 Status: peer-reviewed

Birth Place
Sydney, NSW, Australia
Biography
Ben Quilty was a child of Sydney’s northern hinterland, spending his boyhood at Kenthurst, New South Wales. His first success came when the major work he made for Visual Arts in the Higher School Certificate was exhibited at the Art Express exhibition. He was also awarded a summer school scholarship at the Julian Ashton Art School. He subsequently completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Sydney College of the Arts in 1994, before studying for a certificate in Aboriginal Culture and History from Monash University in 1996. In 2001, feeling dissatisfied with his earlier study, he completed a Bachelor of Visual Communication at the University of Western Sydney.The following year he was awarded the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship for his work Elwood Park (2002), leading to a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. The awarding of the scholarship was a turning point in Quilty’s career as it enabled him to paint full time. At the announcement of the scholarship he met and befriended the veteran artist, Margaret Olley, who became a mentor and close friend.While in Paris Quilty’s works began to draw from Australian Icons, and the cultural rites of passage that were undertaken by Australian males growing up in the 1980s. These works payed particular attention to the violent and damaging behaviour surrounding the rituals of young male culture, in particular depicting fast cars, fast food, and the influence of drugs and alcohol. Quilty later undertook residencies at The Gunnery, New South Wales Ministry for the Arts (2004), Hill End, Bathurst Regional Gallery (2005), and the Australian Council of the Arts Barcelona Studio, Spain (2007).In 2005 he married Kylie Needham, a scriptwriter who he had met while working as film editor for Channel Seven news. Quilty’s painting style can be recognized from his thick layering of paint. He uses different forms of palette knife, smearing the paint to create his figures. Quilty does not attempt to hide the strokes from his knife, rather he utilises the thick slabs of paint to block in large areas of the canvas, with high contrast colours. Quilty has repeatedly used spray paint as a sketching technique, drawing his forms first with the aerosol can and then using oils over the top, allowing the two mediums to appear together on the end product of the canvas. Spray paint is also employed to extend out of the canvas and onto the gallery walls. In 2007 the Quilty family, which by then included his first child, Joe, spent four months in the Australia Council’s studio in Barcelona. Here he was exposed to graffiti culture, as well as religious iconography. Religious rorschach images are most strongly apparent on the walls of churches in Spain. This became a particular interest of Quilty’s, and emerged as major components to many of his later works. Quilty has since used the rorschach technique in painting religious imagery, skulls, and portraits. In the following years he began to focus on icons in Australian culture including images of Captain Cook and John Howard paired with portraits of anonymous participants of the Cronulla riots, his screaming son and intoxicated friends. He also turned more to portraiture, trying to capture the essence underneath the surface of his subjects. He was awarded the 2009 Moran Prize. 2011 he was awarded the Archibald Prize for his portrait of Margaret Olley, who had previously been the subject of William Dobell’s Archibald winning portrait of 1948. In October 2011 the Australian War Memorial commissioned Quilty to travel to Afghanistan, embedded with the Australian Army. Quilty was the same generation as the soldiers who fought in that long war, and he was profoundly affected by the trauma experienced by the troops. He later joined the board of the Australian War Memorial, and he also invited those who had experience the war to come to his home, where he painted their pain. His 2014 exhibition, After Afghanistan, helped many to understand the internal turmoil experienced by those sent to war.His memories of his own reckless youth gave him empathy with those who fell foul of the law. He began to travel to Bali, to teach art to the prisoners of the “Bali Nine”, the young drug mules who had been arrested in Indonesia after information was provided by the Australian Federal Police. He led the public campaign for compassion after Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were sentenced to death. He was profoundly affected by their execution in 2015 and the following year curated an exhibition of Sukumaran’s work.In 2019 and 2020 Quilty was honoured with a national touring retrospective of his art, organised by the Art Gallery of South Australia.

Summary

Biography
Michael Lindeman attained his Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours (First Class) and Master of Fine Arts at the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, Sydney. Lindeman’s paintings, sculptures and readymades respond to global consumerism, planned obsolescence and a fabricated popular culture of indulgence. Residencies at the Los Angeles Studio (2001) and the School of Visual Arts, New York (2002) focused Lindeman’s attention on the ubiquity of discarded objects and a moral order dominated by plasticised cartoon characters that promote childish notions of good and evil. His approach combines serious intent with ironic playfulness. Donald Fitzpatrick, Senior Lecturer and Head of Visual Arts at Queensland University of Technology, refers to anxiety and muted nostalgia in Lindeman’s work, where 'objects are used . the way a hip-hop sound artist might use a piece of existing music but manipulated into a different circumstance’. He goes on to say: 'Michael Lindeman seems like many artists of his generation to use editing as a political means to deal with/cope/make a space in the plethora of images generated by the industrialisation of culture. Here editing allows for some type of disjuncture, even dysfunction, to occur in the production of the works and our reading of them.’ Michael Lindeman’s work was exhibited in Sherman Artbox (1999, 2002) before his first solo exhibition at the gallery in 2004. His Australian residencies include the Gunnery Studio, Artspace, Sydney (2000), the Bundanon Artist in Residence Program, NSW (2003) and Ascham School, Sydney (2004).

Biography
Ursula Halpin is an Irish born artist and curator based in South Australia. Halpin’s practice spans glass, textiles and sculpture. Halpin’s arts practice explores how her family traditions of craft have assisted in overcoming generations of inherited trauma and shame applying outcomes to researching the narratives of Irish female migrants to Australia post famine 1848–1855, particularly the women of the Earl Grey Scheme. Using glass material incorporating textiles, in particular Irish lace and Irish crochet-lace, Halpin’s practice looks at developing a new feminist discourse. Through autobiographical narratives Halpin examines how making has assisted in transcending, estrangement, loss of identity and culture as a result of experiencing abjection through historical and contemporary immigration.

Birth Place
Tuncurry, NSW, Australia
Biography
Born in 1972, painter Rachel Fairfax grew up in the country coastal town of Tuncurry, northern New South Wales. She moved to Sydney initially to attend high school and university, settling there to work after completing her studies. Fairfax studied Communications at the University of Technology, Sydney, from 1994 to 1998, majoring in filmmaking. After graduating, she immediately transferred to the National Art School in East Sydney so as to further develop her interest in drawing and painting. There she encountered two influential teachers, Wendy Sharp and Bill Brown, who were supportive of her development as an artist. She graduated in 2002 with Honours in Drawing. After graduating, Fairfax completed a number of residencies. In 2003 and 2005, she traveled to Hill End, where artists Donald Friend, Paul Haefliger and others had worked in the 1940s and 1950s, to study landscape painting. Six years later, in 2009, she was selected for the Taronga Foundation Artists in Residence Program for which twenty artists took up residency at the zoo over a ten week period that included overnight stays, evening safaris as well as feeding the giraffes, all in aid of raising funds for the zoo. Fairfax has also been involved with a number of other fund raising and charity events, donating some of her artworks to philanthropic organisations such as Barnados. In 2001 Fairfax begin exhibiting in galleries across NSW including Mary Place Gallery, Paddington; Ray Hughes Gallery, Surry Hills; Hazelhurst Regional Gallery, Gymea; Barry Stern Gallery, Hill End; Defiance Gallery, Newtown; Xavier Art Space, St Vincent’s Hospital, Darlinghurst; and Bathurst Regional Gallery. Her exhibitions often centre on a theme developed over a few months; each project consists of a large number of artworks, allowing Fairfax to work on multiple paintings simultaneously. Her works are started en plein air and then completed back at her studio space in the Sydney suburb of St Peters. She shares this space with a number of artists, such as painter and sculptor Stephen Bird; painter and collage artist Maz Dixon; and painter Ingrid Wahlstrom. Fairfax enjoys working in a group environment as a form of stimulation and company, and she often heads outdoors with other artists to create the base drawings for her paintings. She prefers not to work from photographs, only using them for colour reference or when painting a portrait, so as to correctly render her subject’s finer features. Fairfax is inspired by nature, whether it is the landscape or the creatures that inhabit it. Of her 'Ocean Paintings’ exhibition at the Ray Hughes Gallery in 2009, Fairfax stated, “I believe that growing up in the country near the ocean [during] my childhood is imprinted in me deeply” (Ray Hughes Gallery website 2009). She also lists artists such as Elizabeth Cummings, John Passmore and Ian Fairweather as influences onher work. In 2003 Fairfax was awarded two Reg Richardson Fellowships; in 2004 she achieved a Highly Commended in the Waverley Art Prize; and in 2005 she won the FONAS Infusion Barry Stern Galleries Prize. Fairfax’s work is held in a number of collections including ArtBank; Ray Hughes Gallery; St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney, as well as private collections. Fairfax teaches art at a number of institutions across Sydney. She runs classes in painting and drawing at the National School of Art, Darlinghurst, as well as classes in design and colour theory at the International School of Colour and Design, North Sydney.

Biography
The Strutt Sisters both studied visual arts at tertiary level where their individual desires to combine the elements of painting, sculpture and printmaking were articulated. It wasn’t until at least five years into their art production, however, that they decided to collaborate and this remains their primary method of working. The Strutt Sisters’ artwork can best be described as “mixed media assemblage” using plywood and pressed tin that is cut, shaped and painted. Images from magazines, postcards, books and fabric from 1920-1959 are photocopied, cut and pasted onto various surfaces. Paint, resin, fabric and stencils are also used to create colour and patterning. The works hang on the wall in relief style providing the platform for the humorous and musical narration and are simply signed STRUTT. Their prize-winning work resides in both national and international private collections and in the collections of many notable Australians including Elizabeth Ann Macgregor, the Curator for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. In 2003 their work was hung at the Art Gallery of NSW as a finalist in the Sulman Art Prize and they have had a long association with the Damien Minton Gallery, Redfern, Sydney. The Strutt Sisters have been described by critic John McDonald as “Newcastle’s next big thing waiting to happen” (Daily Telegraph, May 2003), and by Ruth Skilbeck as “Newcastle’s hottest contribution to contemporary art” (Australian Art Review, Feb. 2004).

Biography
Janine Campbell, born 1972, is a Sydney-based artist and architect who was interested in art and design from an early age. Influenced by her mother, a seamstress, and her father, an engineer, and later by her travels to Europe, the Middle East, and South America, Campbell’s interest in scale and urban art in public space have formed the basis of her architectural and creative projects. Her work has moved from abstract expressionism in painting to using the scale, space, light and materiality of architecture. Interested in the blurred boundaries between art, design, and architecture, she also explores ways in which to incorporate art into her architectural practices.Growing up in north-west Sydney, Campbell went to Carlingford High School, earning a place in 'ArtExpress’ before going on to study fine arts at Meadowbank TAFE from 1990 to 1992. It was here that she spent time exploring abstraction and architecture. After completing her diploma she worked for a short time as a freelance artist from a warehouse studio in Pyrmont, Sydney, before doing some volunteer aid work in Guyana. In the unlikely setting of the jungles of South America she decided that she would become an architect.Upon her return to Sydney, Campbell had a short stint as a framer in Notanda Gallery before she enrolled part-time in a Bachelor of Arts, then a Bachelor of Architecture degree at the University of Technology, Sydney. Whilst a student, she not only worked at various architectural firms, but maintained her connection to the visual arts through ongoing solo exhibitions, including exhibiting paintings at Tap Gallery in Sydney, and Gelbert Studios in New York.After a few more years in the architecture industry, in 2004 Campbell embarked on a study tour to the Middle East, Paris and New York, and visited family in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She returned to Australia to start up her own design practice – Ja9 Design. Working on a number of projects as an exhibiting artist and designer and entering several competitions allowed her to pursue her creativity, often in collaboration with other creative practitioners. In 2006 Campbell was a finalist in the Renovation Design, HIA CSR Australian Housing Awards in NSW and was joint winner in the North Sydney Council Public Art Competition (for which she worked in collaboration with Louise O’Brien).In 2005 Campbell returned to the architecture industry as a Senior Architect at Hassell, continuing to bring the playful informality of her art to her architectural projects.

Biography
Peter Sharrock was born in Adelaide in 1972. His father’s heritage is Welsh/English and his mother is from the Arrente people of the Northern Territory. Sharrock states that he has been “making art and art objects since I was a toddler, as I was born with enlarged tonsils, which meant I couldn’t really talk until I was three/four years old (when they were removed). So my first language was not a spoken language but more a visual language” (pers. comm. 2009). As he was the seventh of seven children Sharrock received plenty of hand-me-down toys and began constructing new toys out of the old broken ones.Sharrock’s Aboriginal heritage was not revealed to him until he was in his teens and because of this his work does not reflect any Dreaming stories, rather he see’s himself as an “urban artist creating contemporary Indigenous art reflecting Indigenous views” (pers. comm. 2009). He works in four main styles; collage – using ochre and ink stained paper; sculpture – employing the use of carved raw ochre pigment (a technique that Sharrock spent ten years developing and refining); public art – using mostly naturally occurring materials; and a fourth style Sharrock calls 'honeycomb’, a style that developed from his piece Walk the Line, an installation for the 'Our Metro Mob’ 2007 exhibition at Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute in Adelaide. This style comprises three drawings that create one image: a line drawing on yellow ochre is followed by paper with negative space drawings cut into it, then a shadow line work which interacts with the first two drawings, giving the whole work a “life and presence and depending on the viewing perspective the shadows/shapes move and change character” (pers. comm. 2009).His work is informed by his contemporary urban life as well as his connection to land and expressions of identity. Sometimes his work is inspired by personal events such as the passing of his mother and the dreams he experienced of her on the eve of her death, explored in the ochre sculpture Remembered.Sharrock’s first tertiary educational experience was not in the arts. In 1997 he was awarded a Certificate of Competency in Carpentry and Joinery from Elizabeth College of Technical and Further Education. He did not enroll in formal arts training until 1997, graduating in 2000 with a Certificate II in Art Foundation Studies followed by a Certificate IV in Applied and Visual Art from Salisbury TAFE. In 2005 he completed a Bachelor of Visual Art and Design at the Adelaide Institute of Arts at the Roma Mitchell Centre in Light Square, Adelaide.Sharrock began exhibiting in 1998 when he participated in the student group show 'H20 Water’ at Salisbury TAFE. He also participated in the 2005 show 'Petroglyphs’ at Tandanya, which then toured in 2006 to the Dreaming Festival in Woodford, Queensland. In 2006 Sharrock travelled to Wales to work alongside fellow sculptors Muriel Van Der Byl and Chrissy Houston on a public art project known as 'Journey Through Cultures’ to create the public artwork 'Mound at Clegyr Boia’ in southwest Wales. In 2006 and 2008 Sharrock was included in 'Small Graphics International Biennial’ in Romania. In 2007, 2008 and 2009 he participated in 'Our Metro Mob’ at Tandanya. This exhibition is the city-dwelling artists’ companion exhibition to 'Our Mob’, an exhibition held at the Adelaide Festival Centre each year in which artists from regional and remote South Australia showcase their latest works. In 2009 Sharrock submitted work for display in Tandanya’s 20th anniversary celebration exhibition 'Making Tracks’.Sharrock’s first solo exhibition, 'together’, was held in the foyer of Wakefield House in Adelaide and his second solo in 2008 was titled 'Belong’ and was exhibited in Rundle Street, Adelaide. His third solo exhibition, 'Shown’, was staged at the Adelaide Indigenous Business Centre in 2009 with the Lord Mayor of Adelaide attending the opening. In 2009 Sharrock submitted a honeycomb style work titled The Story Unfolds into the 26th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory in Darwin. He was shortlisted as a finalist.Sharrock supplements his art income by working as an installation technician for various Adelaide-based organisations. He also runs art workshops for various schools and organisations and has presented workshops in conjunction with Anangu-ku Arts and Country Arts in Coober Pedy.

Biography
Melbourne-based artist Daniel von Sturmer was born in 1972 in Auckland, New Zealand. Von Sturmer started out as a painter, later working mainly as a video and mixed media installation artist. His video installations and architectural interventions confound the viewer’s sense of space, scale and orientation. Using everyday objects the artist creates visual experiments, playing with gravity and weightlessness, movement and stillness. The artist studied Honours in fine art at RMIT University in Melbourne in during 1993-96 and finished his Master of Arts (research) in 1999 at the same university. Later he spent one year at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. Von Sturmer has exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions both nationally and internationally, and his work is included in major gallery collections in Australia such as the Museum of Contemporary Art, Queensland Art Gallery, Bendigo Art Gallery, Art Gallery of South Australia, Newcastle Regional Art Gallery, The Michael Buxton Contemporary Australian Art Collection and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. His work is also included in Chartwell Collection and Dunedin Public Art Gallery in New Zealand. Writers: Wong, Emily Date written: 2009 Last updated: 2011

Biography
artist, comic-book artist and cartoonist, was born on 13 July 1972 in Melbourne. She completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the Canberra Institute of the Arts, Australian National University in 1996. Her first published cartoon appeared in Kunzwerk , Canberra, in 1992. Her frequently biographical work has since been published in a number of alternative comics, including the self-published Wide Arsed Mole 1-4 (1997-99); Fruity Mumurs 1 & 2 (1994-95), which she co-edited and produced with Mandy Ord; Bump and Snore 6 & 8 (Canberra, 1995); Tango (Melbourne, 1997); Pantry (Canberra, 1998); Nice (Melbourne, 1998); Facktory (Canberra, 1999) – the product of a 3-day mini-comic workshop for young women that Kirrily ran in 1999, featuring the work of Felicity Pollard, Alana Mcdonald, Claire Worrall and Schell herself; and Pure Evil 2 (Melbourne, 1999). Schell’s work was featured on the digitarts site (http://digitarts.va.com.au/grrrowl5/blackink – no longer operational) along with other 'Ladies of the black ink’, Nicola Hardy, Fiona Katauskas, Mandy Ord and Indira Neville (NZ). Between 1995-1999 Kirrily participated in eight group exhibitions, including Sticky Comics , Canberra, 1995; Chill out: Comic Art in the Dead of Winter , Spiral Arm Gallery, Canberra, 1998; Cosmix 2 , Tap Gallery, Sydney, 1998 and Running with the Pack , Spiral Arm Gallery, Canberra, 1999. Schell held her first solo exhibition, MISS , at Artspace, Canberra in 1999. She has been instrumental in promoting cartoons and comic strip art to young people, lecturing to students at Callwell High School and the University of Canberra, and running a Girl’s Own Mini-comic Workshop at the Canberra Museum and Art Gallery. In correspondence with Joan Kerr in 2000, she wrote: “There are a lot of extremely talented comic artists and cartoonists out there, yet from a main stream perspective, women are still not represented to a satisfactory degree. From my brief experience in teaching comics I have sensed a real lack of confidence in girls, in particular they seem to have stories and ideas in them but struggle to realise them. It seems that they are “bound” by a certain idea of what a comic “should” be. On a more positive note, once they realise the potential and the freedom of expression obtainable through this medium, they flourish and produce very interesting works. “Currently I am working on numerous projects with my art and my comics. I am aiming to produce a new issue of my comic Wide Arsed Mole in March. Other projects include harrassing the Australian newspaper to print some of my cartoons, applications to artist in residence programs overseas, an exhibition of my etchings and paintings in Melbourne (not confirmed), loads of work for Anna Brown’s Canberra Comic [ Capital Punishment is funded by ArtsACT and will feature the work of fifteen Canberra artists and be published in June 2000], some musical projects, and finally to find a suitable job to financially support all of the above.” When asked why she draws cartoons, Schell replied: “Drawing cartoons and comics was an integral part of growing up for me. My eldest brother Terry being a great instigator of after school drawing fiascoes. He always had a Crunchie, a large packet of cheese Twisties and a glass of milk, and his comics were always neater than mine. My siblings and I obsessively read Charles M. Schultz comics, old Popeye, Archie and many more. Somehow drawing comics created a world where I could express everything from mystery stories through to teen angst, and perhaps later developing into a quirky satirical play with the world. My printmaking and painting provides me with a more refined, perhaps serious vehicle for my philosophical evolutions, or rather investigations. Of course this filters through to my cartoons, and I try to evoke a more reflective response in the reader than just a surface giggle. “Like writing a novel, one can create any kind of world with cartoons that can be fuelled either by one’s storytelling abilities (even in a one-panel cartoon) or one’s artistic (visual) skills. Creative writing involves the dimension of the reader’s imagination, in the case of cartoons and comics this dimension is limited by the artist’s own visualisation of their idea. Therefore this limitation becomes (or can become) a tool of refinement, not just in the sense of how a character looks, but conceptually how a comic/cartoon is presented and received. It is this intriguing aspect of comics/cartoons that ensures my never-ending obsessive creation, exploration and identification with them.” Schell also participated in Silent Army , Express Media, Fitzroy Vic, 2002 (“20 of Australias young comic book veterans together for the first time”: Bicycle, Blanden, Brown, Carvan, Conn, Cure, Danko, Dodds, Fikaris, Greenberg, Mackay, Mangan, Mrongovius, O’Donnell, Ord, Pox, Savieri, Schell , Smith, Taylor ).

Biography
Sydney based multidisciplinary artist born in 1972. Begg’s artwork includes a wide range of visual production including video, illustration, installation, photography, painting and performance. She has co-curated several exhibitions, published art criticisms and lectured part-time in art history and theory at the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales (COFA, UNSW). Born and raised in Melbourne, Begg moved to Brisbane in 1997 to study Fine Art, completing a Bachelor of Fine Art at Griffith University (2000). Having moved to Sydney in 1999, she undertook an Honours year at the COFA in 2003, before enrolling in a PhD at COFA in 2004. Begg has a long standing interest in politics. In 1990, at the age of seventeen, she represented the youth of Australia at the Montreal Protocol for Climate Change, where she spoke to the United Nations summit of the effect its decisions would have on future generations. This political interest is seen in her artwork, which often deals with globalisation, climate change and cultures or, in her own words, “both the architecture of space and the social relationships which construct it” (artist’s website, accessed 2009). You Are Here is a collective established by Begg and fellow artist Keg de Souza. The collective’s If You See Something, Say Something (2007) commented on efforts by governments to instill fear in the community following the 9/11 Twin Tower disaster of 2001. Other collaborative works include What Would It Mean To Win? (2008) with relational aesthetisist Oliver Ressler; Electrification of Consumer Brains ( 2007) with Dmitry Vilensky; and Cities Without Maps – Tanpa Kota Peta ( 2008), developed with Keg de Souza, and produced in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In 2009 Begg and de Souza co-curated 'There Goes The Neighbourhood’ at Performance Space, Sydney, an exhibition which dealt with the gentrification of the inner Sydney suburb of Redfern. Begg’s wall drawing A World of Proximities was exhibited in the 2008 Taipei Biennal, 'One World Where Many Worlds Fit’. Her video piece Treat (or Trick) (2008) was shown at the 2009 Istanbul Biennale. In 2006 Begg was awarded an Australia China Council residency in Hong Kong, and in 2008 an Asialink Residency in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, as well as a Performance Space Residency in Sydney. Begg has also received grants for her work, including a Marrickville Council art grant and a National Association for the Visual Arts marketing grant, both in 2007, and a projects – inter-arts grant from the Australia Council for the Arts in 2009.

Biography
Bee Khaw was born in Malaysia but spent most of her life in Singapore, where she worked in the travel industry. As a child, she remembered telling her parents about becoming an artist. The news was not well received; no parents from South East Asia would encourage such a career choice; they told her to be practical and stop dreaming. However, on one working trip to Paris, she stepped into the Louvre Museum, along the corridor of the Renaissance was her first encounter with the old masters; a surge of emotions overwhelmed her, bringing forth memories of her childhood dream. This passion for the work of the old masters led her to Florence, Italy and later to the Imperial Academy of Arts in Russia as an intern. Her classical art training centred on observation of nature, sound aesthetic principles and universal themes. This enables her to transmit her vision by adopting the traditional process and impressionistic method. Upon returning home from her art study abroad, she entered a small painting into a competition and received a painting prize of the Emerging Artist Award facilitated by the City of South Perth 2019. Her artistic approach explores and visually investigates the emotional and psychological states of beings through quiet contemplative reflections to derive from a storytelling in a classic contemporary sense. Her works can be found in private collections across Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia. Bee Khaw is a fine art portrait and figurative artist who is based in Perth, Western Australia where she currently lives and works. Writers: Bee Khaw ArtPhD Date written: 2021 Last updated: 2022

Biography
Jenny Fraser is a 'digital native’ who works within a fluid screen-based practice. Her work has been exhibited and screened internationally, including at “ISEA/Zero1” in San Jose and the “Interactiva Biennale” in Mexico. In 2007, Fraser received an honourable mention at the imagineNATIVE Film & Media Arts Festival in Toronto, Canada.Because of the diverse creative media Fraser uses, much of her work defies categorization. Her work takes iconic and everyday symbols of Australian life and places them into a context that questions the values they represent. With a laconic sense of humour she picks away at the fabric of our society, exposing contradictions, absurdities, and denial. Her practice has also been partly defined through a strong commitment to collaboration with others, leading to involvement with artist networks such as the Blackout New Media Arts Collective, a national body of artists, film-maker and designers. Fraser is interested in refining the art of artist/curator as an act of sovereignty and emancipation. She has played a role in the development of Aboriginal media arts, founding cyberTribe in 1999. Fraser was the co-ordinator for the new media arts component of “Spirit & Vision” a Trienniale featuring 94 Aboriginal artists at Sammlung Essl in Vienna, and also part of the curatorial working group for the 2002 Adelaide Biennial titled “conVerge – where art and science meet”, a major survey of Australian new media artworks. In 2006 Fraser initiated “The Other APT”, an independent exhibition coinciding with and responding to Queensland Art Gallery’s 2006 Asia Pacific Triennial. The inaugural exhibition of “The Other APT” was held at Brisbane’s Raw Space Galleries. Fraser was then accepted for inclusion as an artist/curator into the 2008 Biennale of Sydney, and also toured “The Other APT” to the Centre Culturel Tjibaou in Noumea, New Caledonia.Between 2003 and 2008 Fraser had more than eight solo exhibitions including “Not Really Queenz’land” at the NEWflames Studios, Fireworks Gallery, Brisbane (2003), “Murri All Stars” at the Tu Wai Indigenous Resource Centre, Whagarei, Aotearoa, New Zealand (also in 2003) and “Name That Movie” at Lismore Regional Art Gallery (2008). She has exhibited in group shows nationally and internationally including New Caledonia, France, Canada, Belgium, China and Japan. As an artist-in-residence Fraser has travelled extensively and created works in collaboration with the Hermannsburg Potters of the Northern Territory, Kaurna Plains School in South Australia, the Coen Community in Cape York, the International Indigenous Art Residency at the Banff Art Centre, Canada, the Quarry in Whangarei, Aotearoa, New Zealand, and the NEWflames Studios Residency program in Brisbane.She has served as a board member of the Australia Council’s New Media Arts Board, the Australian Network for Art and Technology board of management (2000-02), the Kummara Association (2005-08) and Uniikup Film and Media (commencing in 2007).Among other projects, Fraser was awarded an Arts Queensland Creative Fellowship to produce a body of work that celebrated the lives of Yugambeh family members that were moved from their traditional homelands to work on properties on the Gulf of Carpentaria Peninsula. The work explored the art forms of installation, and was exhibited at the 2006 International Symposium of Electronic Art in San Jose, USA. Fraser’s work is held in the permanent collections of the University of Wollongong, New South Wales; ART Station in Kollmitzberg and Sammlung Essl (both in Austria); the Kummara Association in Brisbane; the Central Australian Aboriginal Legal Aid Service in Alice Springs; RMIT, Melbourne; the Australian Centre for Photography in Sydney.

Biography
Troy Bennell, Noongar artist and member of the Balardung people, was born in 1971 in Bunbury, Western Australia. He completed a course in Aboriginal Studies at Bunbury’s South West Regional College of TAFE in 1988. In his younger years, Bennell was a member of the Middar Dance Group. Bennell began painting after attending a workshop with Lance Chadd , and enhanced his skills after participating in another workshop with Shane Pickett ; his uncles Danny and Lenny Khan (his mother’s brothers) have been important reference points for Bennell’s artistic practice. Bennell has also been inspired by the Carrolup 'school’ of artists who made paintings at the Carrolup Native Settlement in the 1940s and 1950s, and his family has connections with two of those artists, Reynold Hart and Revel Cooper. In Koorah Coolingah (Children Long Ago) (2006), Bennell is quoted as saying:“Mum can remember watching Reynold Hart and Revel Cooper, especially Reynold Hart in Collie 'cause Mum grew up on the reserve there see, and Mum and her brothers would… probably sit and watch old boy paint. Yeah Mum’s brothers they were deadly artists and I used to sit there and watch them. Mum’s older sister was married to Revel Cooper as well. They’ve got some good old yarns about him.” (pg 77). Bennell often creates gouache landscapes, however he also makes abstract acrylic paintings in which he employs an earthy palette, and sometimes mixes sand and dirt into the paint. The marks and symbolism in these paintings represent Noongar journeys to camping sites to fish and collect food; song cycles and the six Noongar seasons that correspond with them; and weather patterns that are unique to Noongar country. In 2001 Bennell received the Worsley Alumina Award at the 'South Western Times Survey Exhibition’ at Bunbury Regional Art Galleries. His exhibitions have included 'South West Central: Indigenous art from south Western Australia 1833-2002’ (2003) at the Art Gallery of Western Australia; 'Walyulup Dreamings’ (2004) at the Moores Building Contemporary Art Gallery in Fremantle; and 'Noongar Moorditj’ (2005) at Bunbury Regional Art Galleries. He also staged a solo show titled 'Nyanyang Boodja Ngarlang Boodja: My Country, Our Country’ at the Mallalyp Gallery in 2007. In 2008 Bennell was part of an exhibition with Graham Taylor and Athol Farmer titled 'Noongar Boodja: Contemporary Aboriginal Art, Ecology and Culture’, shown at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art in New York. In 2006 Bennell worked alongside Shane Pickett , Lance Chadd , Yvonne Kickett, Alice Warrell and Sharyn Egan to create the Ngallak Koort Boodja (Heartland) canvas. This work, which resulted from extensive community consultation with Noongar families over three years, was commissioned to be the centrepiece of the 2006 Perth International Arts Festival. It measured eight by ten metres and the artists collaborated to create a design that represented the fourteen clans of the Noongar nation. Bennell began working at Bunbury Regional Art Galleries in 1999, first as a community festival organiser, and then as an Indigenous Arts Development Officer from 2001. Apart from curatorial duties, this position saw him work with the Western Australian Department of Education and Training to facilitate art workshops at a range of primary schools in the region. Bennell has been involved in facilitating the artistic practice and raising the profile of Indigenous artists from the southwest of Western Australia.

Biography
Dean Andrew Sewell is a Sydney-based photographer born in 1971 to a site-builder father and fashion retailer mother. As a seventeen year old in high school he was inspired by a photographic course, which lead to his decision to be a photographer. Sewell came to admire the work of major international photographers, such as Bruce Davidson, Eugene W. Smith, Alex Webb and Susan Meiselas. He took up an apprenticeship in 1989 in the photographic department of the Sydney Morning Herald , complemented by a Certificate course in Photography at the Sydney Technical Institute (TAFE) in Ultimo, Sydney. Learning from practice, he believes, is vital. While partly influenced by a number of European artists, Sewell believes that working with the photographers at The Sydney Morning Herald has provided him with a solid foundation in the medium. As an Australian, Sewell searches for what he sees as the truth of Australian life. His series Bushfire Aftermath (2002) and his reflection on the lives of Aboriginal people on The Block (2001) are indicative of this. They illustrate Sewell’s aim to use photography as an artistic medium that can help people understand or interpret the important economic and environmental events occurring around the world. He is not interested in the role of a photographer singularly pursuing art, journalism or political issues. For instance, The Block series tried to show every aspect of Aboriginal people’s real lives in Redfern (Sydney, NSW), not only the negative aspects the mainstream media often portray to the public. As a Sydney Morning Herald photojournalist he photographed the Chechen war in 1996. Sewell’s 2000 coverage of the invasion in Dili, Timor Leste, focuses on the lives of the East Timorese. His acclaimed Tsunami Aftermath (2005), following the devastation caused in Aceh province, Indonesia, allowed him to reveal aspects of the devastation hidden by the mainstream media (Giblett, 2005). By choosing black and white over colour photography, Sewell hopes viewers might pay more attention to the grim story and to realise that a natural disaster is also a human disaster. Both these series of images won Sewell major awards. An individual image that has also won an award – the 2009 Moran Contemporary Photography Prize – is A Dry Argument (2009). The coloured photograph shows a flat landscape with distant bushes on the horizon and a clump of tall grasses in the left foreground. Central to the image is a wooden jetty thrusting into the middle distance over a sandy and grassy terrain. At one end of the jetty is a large unfurled sun umbrella, a small table and an empty chair. Just to the right of the jetty and presumably tethered to it, is a small row boat, sitting on dry land. Although dark clouds fill the sky, enough sunlight seeps through to allow the jetty and boat to cast strong shadows. The introduction of the surreal props heightens both the intense image and the imagination, leading the judges to comment that: “It is an original and telling account of what is one of Australia’s most pressing concerns and surely an accurate and concise interpretation of 'contemporary Australian life’” ( Photofile , 2009). In 1994 and 1998, Sewell won the Australian Press Photographer of the Year Award. In 2000, he achieved second place in the World Press Photo Awards for his coverage of Timor Leste (East Timor). In 2005 Sewell was awarded first place for his work on the Tsunami aftermath in Aceh, Indonesia. In 2005 and 2008, he was awarded an Artist Residency by Bathurst Regional Art Gallery in the historical village of Hill End in New South Wales, Australia. A Dry Argument (2009) secured him the aforementioned Moran Contemporary Photography Prize in 2009. The impulse to inform a wider public through visual stories of human lives also drives the collective Oculi, established in 2001 by Sewell and eight other award-winning photojournalists in Australia. Oculi’s focus is on, “Revealing real lives and real stories that are overlooked by mainstream media” (pers. comm.) The photographers try to implicate every aspect of our time and region through a visual poetics that seeks “the extraordinary in the ordinary” (Oculi website). Free from the commercial drivers often underpinning photojournalism, the Oculi collective pursues their own understanding of documentary photography. In his spare time, Sewell plays music, especially garage music, rock and punk. He also makes objects out of recycled and discarded materials. Sewell occasionally makes political sculptures. Sewell’s photographs are in the National Library of Australia and private collections. His submissions to the World Press Photo Award have been exhibited at the State Library of New South Wales (Sydney, NSW). He has served as a judge for a number of photographic contents, including the Historic Houses Trust “My Sydney” Award in 2007 and the Tweed River Art Gallery Photography Prize in 2009.

Biography
Matthew Peet, also known as 'Mistery’ or 'MrE’, is a Sydney based graffiti artist, working primarily in the public domain. He was born in 1971 in Bankstown, Sydney, and became interested in breaking (break dancing) and graffiti in the early 1980s. When the popularity of breaking began to decrease in Australia, he continued to develop his skills in graffiti writing. Although Peet started out spraying illegally as a twelve year old, his motive has always been creative development and expression, rather than defiance of authority. During this early period, his mentor was Casm/Dem2 of the graff (define) crew known as FAB4. Casm/Dem2 was one of the first writers to make a 'piece’ in Sydney. He taught Peet the skills and techniques of graffiti writing. The inspiration for Peet’s works came originally from the book Subway Art as well as the early New York writers, especially Skeme and Doze. Early European writers, such as Mode2 and the Chrome Angelz (both painting in the late 1980s) also provided him with inspiration. Peet progressed into legal graffiti writing, primarily through word of mouth or simply by approaching the owners of walls he wished to spray. Also people would often ask him for his details whilst he was in the act of spraying a wall. Peet is currently part of three graffiti crews, namely: Twenty First Century, DCA and Bounty Hunterz. Claude Rodriguez (Wizdm) and Peet are two members of The Bretheren, one of the longest serving Australian hip hop crews. The Bretheren has performed at numerous festivals, including Hoodwise in Oxford Street, Sydney. Peet works with aerosol cans and his artworks are generally large in scale, often cover the entire side of a building, and contain elaborate backgrounds, vibrant colours and wildstyle text. They are known for their characters, which have been partly influenced by his drawing of cartoons as a child, and partly by the high level of commissioned artworks that he does, where he uses images rather than words to appeal to a wider public audience. Not only has Peet drawn cartoons for Mad Magazine , but he has also worked as a freelance artist for a number of large companies and organisations, including Coca Cola, Sydney Theatre Company and the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA). Peet has represented Australia in numerous international mural projects in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, United States of America, Germany and New Zealand. He helped to organise the 'Platform 1’ event which took place from 28-29 March 2008 at the Carriageworks performance space in Chippendale, Sydney. It was Sydney’s biggest hip hop festival and featured more than seventy local hip hop performers with specialties in breakdancing, graffiti writing, MCing and DJing. Peet also organised the 'Don’t Ban the Can’ exhibition which was held on 20 September 2008 at Clifton Park, Brunswick, Melbourne, in response to a tightening of anti graffiti laws in Melbourne. The exhibition involved works from over two hundred artists as well as live painting, breakdancing, bands and DJs. From 28 August 2009, Peet was chosen to create artworks for the MAY’s Lane Art Project, an outdoor gallery space in St Peters, Sydney. These works were carried out on five large panels hung in the window spaces along the side of a building in May Lane and remained there for the period of a month. Peet has also completed numerous commissioned works during his time as an active artist. One such artwork is a mural entitled Lest We Forget created for Blacktown RSL in which he used semi photo-realistic images to depict Australian servicemen and women. Aside from his role as an artist, Peet has also taken on a role as educator and spokesperson for young people. He has used his artistic skills to work with youth all around Sydney, providing graffiti workshops in conjunction with a number of local councils including Warringah, Marrickville, Holroyd, Auburn, and the former South Sydney. Peet has also collaborated with the New South Wales Police on their Crime Stoppers School Campaign, acting as a spokesperson in a number of visits to Sydney schools with the aim of educating the students about the difference between graffiti as vandalism and graffiti as art, as well as informing them on how to become involved in legal graffiti projects. Recognition of his contributions to the youth of Sydney has come in the form of his being awarded the “Young Citizen of the Year” title in 1996 from Marrickville Council. Since 2000 Peet has worked for Warringah Council coordinating their graffiti art projects and conducting weekly aerosol art training sessions for young people. At Casula Powerhouse, Peet plays the role of mentor to young people using the legal walls provided within the centre and conducts legalised aerosol art workshops.

Gnowangerup, WA, Australia
Biography
Peter Farmer, Noongar artist, was born in Gnowangerup in 1971. Gnowangerup is a small town in the great southern region in Western Australia, just east of the town of Katanning. Farmer’s family descend from a number of Noongar groups, including the Whadjuk, Minang, Wilman and Wardandi peoples. He describes his childhood as semi-traditional: his family lived off the land and did not move into a house until the mid 1970s. Farmer lived at Marribank Mission, 30km from Katanning, between the age of eight and seventeen. Marribank was previously the Carrolup Native Settlement, which was established in 1915 to house and train Aboriginal children who had been removed from their families in order to be assimilated into non-Indigenous society. Carrolup was where the renowned 'Carrulop children’ artists had created their work under the guidance of Noel and Lily White, a humanitarian couple who managed the settlement in the 1940s and encouraged the young inmates (aged between ten and fourteen) to draw and paint the bush around the settlement. Their paintings were exhibited to wide acclaim, to the extent that they were toured in selling exhibitions in many parts of Australia, New Zealand and Europe. A large collection of Carrolup paintings was unearthed at the Colgate University in New York in 2004, and a selection of these was returned to Katanning temporarily for the Perth International Arts Festival in 2006. In 1952 the Carrolup Settlement was transferred to the control of the Baptist Church and became known as Marribank Mission, or simply Marribank. Members of Farmer’s family were residents at Marribank in the 1970s and 80s. Farmer’s mother, Fay Farmer, and many of her relatives were part of a generation of Marribank residents who received government funding to create ceramics, batiks and other forms of textile work as part of the Marribank Artists Cooperative, which operated in the 1980s. The Art Gallery of Western Australia acquired a number of objects and fabrics they created. Farmer, who cites his mother as his primary artistic influence, recalls watching these members of his family making their work when he was a child and regards this experience as being to some degree formative of his artistic inclinations and skills.In 1999 he enrolled in an Associate Degree in Contemporary Aboriginal Art at Curtin University, and went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) in 2001. In correspondence with the author, Farmer described a transition that took place over the course of his studies from creating paintings in a 'traditional’ style, dominated by ochres and an earthy palette, to exploring more contemporary modes of expression. Since graduating, Farmer has participated in a number of group exhibitions, including the 'Moorjditch Mar-Daa Art Award’ for the Armadale Redevelopment Authority’s NAIDOC week celebrations in 2006, and the 'Spring in the Valley Art Exhibition’ at the La Salle College in Middle Swan in 2008. In 2007 he exhibited alongside fellow Noongar artists Chris Pease and Ben Pushman in the exhibition '3Nyoongar Painters’ at Goddard de Fidde Gallery in Perth, and in 2009 Goddard de Fidde Gallery hosted his solo exhibition, 'Peter Farmer’ . This exhibition consisted of acrylic paintings that depict the Blue Wren (Chirriger), Farmer’s totem. In these works, the wren is delicately rendered standing or in flight against an expansive, saturated blue field of slightly varied tone and hue. The blue wren can be traced as a family totem back to Farmer’s great-grandmother on his father’s side. In future works Farmer intends to explore the Fire (Churlinj/Kaarl) element of traditional Noongar culture, and find ways of representing the various Dreaming stories of his mother’s and father’s ancestral lands. These stories, and his connection to country, are the primary source of inspiration for his work. Farmer states that he is grateful that his childhood on the land, though difficult, assured him an enduring sense of spiritual connection with, and reverence for, his country (pers. comm. 2009). Besides painting, Farmer has worked with wood, steel, glass and clay. He has also created public art works, such as Noorn (Snake), a 5 metre high steel sculpture which was created for the Swarbrick Interpretation Site at the Walpole Wilderness Discovery Centre in 2006. The site was awarded the 2006 Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) Western Australia Excellence Award for Public Art in Landscape Architecture. Other commissions include a Noongar Language Calendar and Early Learning Kit for the Noongar Language & Cultural Centre in Perth (2000) and a wall mural for the Aboriginal Studies Unit at Joondalup TAFE (2006). In 2006 he was commissioned by Curtin University, along with fellow Noongar artists Athol Farmer (Peter’s Uncle) and Leonard (Jack) Williams, to create a wooden doak. A doak is a traditional Noongar hunting and digging tool that was preserved for use across several generations of a Noongar family, and this one was designed to serve a similar purpose as a ceremonial mace on formal occasions that take place at the University. In 2008 Farmer was named Visual Artist of the Year at the Perth NAIDOC Awards. His works are in the collection of the Australian Institute For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies, Edith Cowan University, Government House in Perth, and the Department of Conservation and Land Management, Western Australian Government.

Biography
Russell Lowe was born in 1971 in Auckland, New Zealand, the third child and only son of Roslyn and Dennis Lowe. He studied Architecture at Auckland University where he received both his Bachelor of Architecture and Masters of Architecture. He began teaching at Auckland University before taking up the post of lecturer in Digital Media Design, Architectural Drawing and Interior Architecture at Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand. In 2007 Lowe moved to Sydney, Australia, where he began working as a lecturer in Architectural Computing at the University of New South Wales. Lowe is both an architect and an artist. As an architect, his research is focused on the practical application of video game software and technology to areas outside of the gaming and entertainment industries (in particular its relevance in the design process). As an artist Lowe usually collaborates with other artists, and produces 3D mixed media animations, which blend traditional animation with innovative use of video game platforms. Chief among Lowe’s collaborators is New York artist Federico Solmi, whom he first met during the 2004 Dumbo Art Under the Bridge Festival in New York where he offered to help Solmi with animated video footage. Since then the two have worked together on The Giant (2005), Rocco Never Dies (2005), King Kong and the End of the World (2006), and most recently The Evil Empire (2007) which sees the future Pope going on a rampage through hell. The works have been exhibited internationally, including solo exhibitions and group exhibitions, as well as participating in art and film festivals. The animations and paintings portray a satirical and dystopic view of modern society, commenting on the hectic nature of modern life, the acceleration and temptation of urban society. Each has been made into an edition of ten and sold into private collections, with two artist proofs going to Solmi and Lowe. Lowe and Solmi work together on developing a story line, usually based on Solmi’s concept. Lowe then creates the foundation animation for each work. Creating the animation is a gradual process, sometimes taking twelve months to complete a four minute film. When animating, Lowe uses a combination of techniques to achieve the final result, ranging from the more traditional key frame animation to using computer game engines and “mods” or modified games. Once the animating is done, Solmi then uses the animation as a basis for his drawings. In the hell portion of The Evil Empire the process was reversed, with Solmi providing drawings to be used in Lowe’s virtual environment. In the final stage Lowe brings the stills together with the computer game footage and edits the results. Collaboration and negotiation cross every stage of their work. Key frame animation involves the manipulation of a character’s skeleton by signaling the start and end positions in individual joints, the computer then creates the movement automatically. The movement of every joint in the skeleton is directed by an individual key frame, simple movements (such as raising an arm) require the layering of multiple joint movements. Key frames control the position and motion of every element on the screen, not only the joints of a character’s skeleton, but bone rotations, facial expressions, any shifts within the environment, the intensity and movement of light and the motion of the camera. This complete control results in hundreds of key frames, making the animation process extremely time consuming and complex. The use of “mods” involves altering existing computer game software through editing the environment and characters. The game itself remains unchanged though it appears different due to the altered skins of the characters and textures of the environment. This method can be taken further through customizing characters (altering body shape) and creating new environments. Once the game has been sufficiently modified it will be played and filmed. The filming is done as a user is playing the modified game. Creating the “mod” takes time, but the filming itself is much faster and less limited than that of key frame animation. As the user is interacting with the environment, controlling the character’s movements and the position of the camera, each scene can be shot multiple times, each at different angles. Action sequences can be more complex and dynamic because of the level interactivity, and the ease with which each scene can be re-shot. In the process of animation it could be argued that Russell Lowe is more a technician than an artist, bringing to life Solmi’s vision rather than his own. This is not the case, as there is a lot of collaboration during the animation process. Collaboration through frequent correspondence on narrative and conceptual developments is vital to the transition between Solmi’s artwork and the final 3D animation. In making the film, Lowe alters the story line, or action sequences, as well as making technical changes such as character redesign or alteration. After meeting architect-artist Richard Goodwin in 2007, Lowe collaborated with him on two projects, Transformania (2007) and Surrogate Trojan (2008 – also with Adrian McGregor). The Surrogate Trojan looks at the harbour as a gateway, examining its complexity and demonstrating how this can be exploited. It particularly focuses on environmental issues, such as the importation of genetically modified plants. This urban artwork was part of the 'Back to the City’ installation project curated by Steffen Lehmann in Newcastle, where it won the award for the best installation. As an architect Lowe has won multiple awards, including the Uncommon Ground Urbane Gaze Competition and the 20under40 competition, which he has participated three times. During his time at Noel Lane Architects, his team won the NZIA Award (New Zealand Institute of Architects), and a DINZ (Designers Institute of New Zealand) Best Design Award. He was also invited to take part in the 'Connectivity Project’ (2004) in Aberdeen, Scotland, which exhibited the work of fifteen artists/designers from around the world. Each of these achievements stems from Lowe’s expertise in the field of digital animation.

Birth Place
Carlton, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Biography
Born 1971, Carlton, Victoria, of the Meriam Mer, Erub, Ugar peoples of the Torres Strait and the Ku Ku people of far North Queensland Since obtaining his Bachelor of Fine Art (Painting) at the Victorian College of the Arts (1992-94) and Master of Fine Art (Research) at the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales (2001-03), Clinton Nain has established a significant place in the critical debates of contemporary Australian art. Nain’s work confronts the continuing injustices suffered by the Indigenous peoples of Australia. His powerful symbolism evokes the wounds of dispossession – of country, culture and language – which lie at the heart of those who once were masters of their own destinies. Recurring images, such as his mother’s mission dress and the potholed road leading to her grave, point both to family loss and the ever-painful journey towards reconciliation and healing. In 1999, Nain began his 'White King, Blak Queen’ series exploring colonisation through a black feminine perspective. Through performance, storytelling and staining fabrics with bleach, the Blak Queen boldly quests for equality. Nain explored these ideas further in his 2001 exhibition, 'Whitens, Removes Stains, Kills Germs’.The artist’s brother, writer John Harding, has said: 'The Blak Queen is omnipotent, knows no boundaries and recognises no colonising fences. She has even transformed herself into a bird and flown out a window! She can turn everyday household items into weapons against colonisation and the fading of memory. Her splashes of bleach become evocative images of lingering memories, prodding us to remember the truth.’ (Melbourne, 2001)Nain’s work remains uncompromising. Bitumen, house paint and varnish are now his principal mediums. His exhibitions – 'Living Under the Bridge’ (2003), 'The Dirty Deal Ain’t Clean’ (2005), 'A E I O U’ (2006) and 'Hurdy Gurdy (Wrong Way Around)’ (2007) – target the ongoing marginalisation of many Aboriginal people and communities in Australia. Following the national apology to the Stolen Generations, Nain’s plea is for us to listen to the voices of the most vulnerable in seeking resolution. 'What we artists create’, he says, 'is for everyone in the world.’ Writers: Murray-Cree, Laura Date written: 2006 Last updated: 2008
Born
b. 1971
Summary
An indigenous dancer, performer and storyteller, Nain is also a painter and installation artist whose work explores the impact of European settlement on the indigenous nations of Australia. Challenging the white male dominant view of history, Nain's work takes the particular perspective of the black and the feminine.

Manila, The Philippines
Biography
Jelina’s first introduction to the art world in 1998 happened out of necessity and her longing for a sense of belonging to a new country. She immediately found solace and reassurance through her artworks. She combined contemporary and conceptual art processes and the craft-making of her unique design. Her work explores the modern fascination of raising environmental awareness and her desire to use art as a catalyst to increase gender equality and equal rights for women and cross-cultural understanding. She describes herself as a transdisciplinary combining theory, visual art, surface designing and traditional arts and culture. Her interests are in the association between Textile/Fibre sculptural wearable art and surface designing, both experimental exploration of using sustainable & recyclable materials. The beauty of her Australian surroundings and her upbringing as a Filipino are the sources of her perseverance and resilience. The association and qualities of Jelina’s artworks and their evocation envelopes every inch of her artwork and are directly linked to traditional knowledge of weaving that Elders have passed on. Each element of her works evokes a metaphor as a woven image using threads, fibres, paints and fabrics to create an astonishing palette of colours and textured surfaces. The result is rhythmic stitches that produced an integrated figurative form of images and well-blended colours entwine with knowledge and story to tell a more in-depth level. Her artworks illuminate inherently multidimensional, creative, interactive, and dynamic processes. Writers: Dr. Jelina Haines Date written: 2022 Last updated: 2022

Birth Place
Toowoomba, QLD, Australia
Biography
Multi-media artist, Archie Moore was born in Toowoomba, Queensland, in 1970 and remained in the Darling Downs region until 1989. He was named after Archie Moore, the African American world boxing champion of the 1950s and 1960s. Growing up in rural Queensland taught Moore about racism and the forms it can take; he was often the target of racist taunts in the school playground. This harsh childhood experience led Moore to develop a keen interest in language and how it is constructed, used and valued as a cultural medium. He completed a Certificate in Art and Design at Gateway TAFE, Eagle Farm, in 1991 and a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts at Queensland University of Technology in 1998. With a sound knowledge of the technical aspects of visual art presentation and a curiosity of language, Moore investigated the words used against him as a child in the body of work, Words I Learnt From The English Class (2002). Here Moore employed the words that were used to abuse, attack and insult him racially. For example in the work Onomatopoeia, Moore has painted the word “Boong”, and it appears to vibrate on the canvas. He described this work as a reference to a popular joke told to him during his school days (that 'boong’ is the sound an Aborigine makes when it hits the bull bar of your car). Furthermore the word, he says, describes “the jolt that went through my body when realising the nature of these 'humorous jokes’” (http://www.redbubble.com/people/archiemoore/art/125503-9-onomatopoeia, accessed 19 Sept 2008).In his work Scripta Continua 1,2,3,4, shown at the State Library of Queensland 2005 exhibition, “CALD“, Moore investigates words that are made up of at least two other words and places laser-cut foam core letters into a sentence with the 'spaces’ removed. The installation reads 'THERAPIST NOWHERE TOGETHER BRAINWASHERS’. The work challenges the viewer to make sense of it by spacing the words differently. For example, the work could become 'THE RAPIST NOW HERE TO GET HER BRAIN WAS HERS’. Of course this newly constructed sentence does not have a clear meaning either; in conversation with the author (January 2009), MCA curator Glenn Barkley agreed that it could be just this effect that Moore is playing with – challenging the viewer to re-write, to re-construct and to come to an understanding at how easily the English language can be manipulated. Moore’s fascination with the English language and how it has affected him as an Aboriginal man has been developed even further in his 2007 body of work titled Maltheism (which was short-listed in Queensland Art Gallery’s 2008 Xstrata Coal Emerging Indigenous Art Award) in which a series of bibles of various sizes lay open at certain key passages. In doing so, Moore is offering a commentary on the Mission Days that were instrumental to Australia’s colonization. From these pages Moore has constructed miniature churches so that the bibles in fact become sculptural works. In one such work the bible is open at Deuteronomy, where the passage, 'Destruction of Pagans’ is displayed. This passage talks of invasions of other lands, the taking of the new land’s resources, the killing of all the men and of making no treaty with the people. Conceptually Moore is commenting on the destruction of Aboriginal spirituality, ceremony and cultural practices by the government policy of rounding up Aboriginal people and forcing them to live on Christian missions, attend church services and praise an alien god. Of this biblical passage Moore has said that he thought “it was a similar genocidal mindset of the First Fleet and also of the invading Christian nations in the Middle East in more recent times, i.e. the Iraq Wars” (http://www.redbubble.com/people/archiemoore/art/125523-9-maltheism, accessed 19 Sept 2008). In a 2008 conversation with the author, University of Newcastle academic Dr Romaine Moreton said 'The written word is fundamental to the creation of social space, informing how physical bodies are identified and become identifiable and Moore’s work makes that connection between the written word and the construction of physical space, alluding to the construction of identities.’Moore was the recipient of the 2001 Anne and Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship which enabled him to travel to the Czech Republic to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. In 2005 he obtained a residency and exhibition through the NEWflames program at Fireworks Gallery. In 2008 he was a finalist in both the Telstra Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and the Xstrata Coal Emerging Indigenous Art Award at the Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland Art Gallery. He has exhibited in many group and solo shows including “Nympholepsy – A survey of 'Love’ works”, Palace Gallery, Brisbane (2005); “The Dark and the Light”, Fireworks Gallery (2005); “Crossings: A Gathering of Artists” SomArts Gallery, San Francisco (2005); “Depth of Field” at Ryan Renshaw Gallery (2006); “2008 Biennale of Sydney Online Venue”; “L’Aboriginal Festival de Avignon”, France (2008); and “The Revenge of Genres Contemporary Australian Art” at the Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris (2008). In 2009 Moore was living in Brisbane, Queensland. Writers: Allas, TessNote: Date written: 2008 Last updated: 2011 Status: peer-reviewed

Biography
Born in 1970 in Perth, Western Australia, James Angus is a sculptor and installation artist. He completed a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) degree at Curtin University of Technology, Perth, in 1990, and completed a Master of Fine Arts (Sculpture) in 1998 at Yale University School of Art in the United States. In 2008 Angus began living between Sydney and New York. Angus has taught and lectured at Curtin University of Technology (1991, 1994), Yale University School of Art, New Haven, Connecticut (1998), and the University of Technology, Sydney (2002-2004). Angus’ first exhibition was in 1991 at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, after which he began exhibiting widely, both in Australia and overseas. He aims to challenge an audience’s perceptions through his sculptures, which simulate and re-imagine the real world. He takes everyday objects and transforms them beyond their normal state or function, usually altering their size, form, material, colour or context. These alterations place the objects in unexpected and sometimes fictional situations. For example, Rhinoceros (1995) is a life-size fibreglass sculpture of a rhinoceros, painted bright yellow and mounted sideways on a wall. Although Angus is primarily a sculptor, many of his works are also installation pieces. He believes an artwork’s location is important, and installs his works to interact with the architecture around them. Shangri-La (2002), for example, featured a hot air balloon hung upside down inside the Sydney Opera House. Angus’s works often incorporate digital technology both to simulate ideas and to physically produce them. For Soccerball dropped from 35,000 feet (1999) and Basketball dropped from 35,000 feet (1999), he recreated the moment of impact after a ball is dropped from an aeroplane. To calculate and model the ball’s disfiguration, he used digital software dynamics programs to simulate the impact. Angus collaborates with designers, engineers, mathematicians and scientists. Some of his work remains hand-made. He researches extensively and creates drawings and maquettes of larger sculptures. His work is held in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; The Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth; The Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Monash University Gallery, Melbourne; Auckland Art Gallery; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the collection of Auscorp, Sydney. In 1998 he won both a Fulbright Scholarship and a Yale University Travelling Fellowship; in 2005 he was shortlisted for the National Sculpture Prize at the National Gallery of Australia; and in 2008 he won the Basil Sellers Art Prize, Melbourne.

Birth Place
Blacktown, NSW, Australia
Biography
Adam Hill, painter and performer was born on the 11th March, 1970 at Blacktown in the western suburbs of Sydney. Hill studied Graphic Design at the University of Western Sydney, Nepean Campus and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1994. While working as a graphic designer for the Indigenous Australians exhibition at the Australian Museum in 1997, Hill met the Wollongong-based artist Kevin Butler who became his main inspiration to begin painting. Hill took up painting in 1998 and describes his work, which uses acrylic house paint on canvas, as “vast colourful landscapes with reminders of colonial imposition “. Originally using house-paint because it was free, Hill now uses it as he enjoys its density, consistency, durability and affordability. Hill’s work is informed by his research into historical records of Aboriginal resistance, ethnography and anthropology. In the June 2006 edition of Australian Art Collector writer Adam Geczy said of his work; “Hill’s commentary is laced with humorous bluster. An amalgam of poster art and hip-hop, Adam Hill’s painting still has no parallel in the Aboriginal art community. His works are typically acerbic attacks on abuses to the environment, and the continued reluctance of White communities to acknowledge the Aboriginal presence, past and present.” An artist member of Boomalli Aboriginal Artist Cooperative since 1999, Hill has exhibited in solo and group shows intermittently with them since then. His work, Hand Christian and Her Son, was included in the 2003 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and the work was selected to tour nationally as part of the award’s 20th anniversary exhibition that same year. He has had solo shows outside of Boomalli including “Whitewashed” at TAP Gallery, Darlinghurst in 2004, “The Outskirts of Town” at the Canberra Grammar School in 2004, “Hand Some Returns”, at Birrung Gallery (formerly Walkabout Gallery), Leichhardt in 2005 and “A sign of the crimes” in 2006 at Sydney’s Mori Gallery. Hill has also worked as a muralist for Redfern Community Centre and Ashfield Council. Adam’s work is in the permanent collections of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) in Canberra, Blacktown City Council, Liverpool City Council, NSW Parliament House, Waterloo Library and Bangarra Dance Theatre. Adam has been awarded the Mayors Choice, 2003, the Liverpool Council Award, 2004 and the Maria Locke Award, 2006 at the annual Mil-Pra Art Prize organised by the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre. He won the Blacktown City Art Prize in 2002 and was a finalist in the 2005 and 2006 Parliament of NSW Indigenous Art Prize.

Sydney, NSW, Australia
Biography
Brook Andrew was born in Sydney on 3 April 1970, the second of Barbara and Trevor Andrew’s four children. His first years were spent with his family in inner city Enmore and later, western Sydney’s Blackett. When he was four years old his family moved to Werrington, also in western Sydney. In 1988, after finishing his secondary studies at Cambridge Park High School, Andrew enrolled in Aquatic Resource Management at James Cook University, Rockhampton, Queensland, but discontinued after six months. In 1991 Andrew enrolled in Interior Design at the University of Technology Sydney but after a month transferred to Visual Arts at the University of Western Sydney (UWS), Nepean campus. In his undergraduate years, Andrew concentrated on interdisciplinary studies and photo-media and in a September 2007 interview with the author he identified Chris Fortescue, Eugenia Raskopoulos, Anne Graham and Terry Hayes as the most influential of his UWS teachers. In his graduating year, 1993, his wall-based text piece Naraga Yarmble Bungalgaragara was awarded the Mary Alice Evatt Prize at Artspace for the best final year artwork in the annual Bachelor of Visual Arts students’ exhibitions at UWS’s Macarthur and Nepean campuses. In 1994 he was included in Felicity Fenner’s and Anne Loxley’s survey of emerging Sydney-based artists, 'Fresh Art’, (S.H. Ervin Gallery, Sydney) and the following year Judy Annear included him in 'Perspecta’, Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW), Sydney. Ken Watson, Assistant Curator, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, AGNSW, was responsible in 1996 for that institution’s acquisition of Andrew’s colour photograph Chip on the Shoulder (1996), the first state gallery to collect his work. His 1996 work Sexy and Dangerous was first exhibited at the 1998 RAKA Award, Ian Potter Museum University of Melbourne, where it was awarded the prize. This marked the beginning of a new level of recognition for Andrew’s work; he was subsequently invited to join Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi, Melbourne and in 1999 the National Gallery of Victoria acquired a copy of Sexy and Dangerous for its permanent collection. In 1999 Andrew completed a Master of Fine Arts at College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, Paddington, Sydney. Whether in photography, neon, sculpture or screen-print, Andrew explores power relationships in society, especially in race relations and globalism. The action of seeing recurs in his work, as do Wiradjuri patterns and language. Andrew has an extensive itinerary of international residencies including Gasworks and Goldsmith College, London University (2000) Sanskriti, New Delhi, India, Asialink residency (2000-01), School of Art, University of Hawaii (2002), Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, Lithuania (2006), the Museum of Contemporary Arts, Galeria Metropolitana, and Centro Matucana 100, Santiago, Chile (2006). His public art projects include 22 neon boomerangs Wilbing (to fly) 1999-2000 at Walama Forecourt, Sydney International Airport Terminal and the monumental wooden, bronze and LED Seven Spears 2000 at Sydney International Shooting Centre, Cecil Park (commissioned by Sydney Olympic Co-ordination Authority) and a large suspended animated neon sculpture in the foyer of The Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Andrew also designed the props and projected sets for the Indigenous component to the opening ceremonies for both the Rugby World Cup (2003, Sydney) and the Commonwealth Games (2006, Melbourne). In 2001 Andrew was awarded a two-year fellowship from the Australia Council for the Arts. This fellowship was to access national film and photographic archives of Aboriginal people in NSW in collaboration with the NSW Aboriginal communities. The projects’ aim was to build better relationships between Aboriginal people and archive institutions through the development of protocols and stimulation of debate, with the end result for Andrew being the creation of new work. Andrew’s practice extends to curatorship and public discourse. At djamu Gallery, The Australian Museum at Customs House, Sydney, he exhibited museum objects in 'Blak Beauty’ (1999) and 'Menthen. Queue Here’ (2000), the first was a celebration of the aesthetic beauty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander artworks and objects, the second was a sculptural display of Indigenous shields from various regions of Australia. Aggrieved by the lack of serious discussion of Aboriginal art, Andrew conceived the seminar series, “Blakatak: Program of Thought”, Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney 2005-06. Andrew’s work has attracted the attention of the cultural theorist, Nikos Papastergiardis who wrote “Crossed Territories: Indigenous Cosmopolitan”, 2006/2007 for the exhibition catalogue for 'Brook Andrew, Eye to Eye’ at Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne, 2007 and Marcia Langton, who wrote the 2005 essay “High Excellent Technical Flavour”, for the catalogue 'Brook Andrew : Hope & Peace’, Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi, Melbourne, 2005. His inclusion in 2006 in Linda Michael’s '21st Century Modern: the Adelaide Biennale of Australia’ coincided with a spate of international exhibitions including 'Trans Versa’, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Santiago, Chile, 'High Tide: Currents in Contemporary Australian Art’, National Gallery of Art, Warsaw, Poland and Vilnius, Lithuania (2006) and 'Den Haag Sculptuur 2007: De OverKant/Down Under’, The Hague, The Netherlands (2007). Monash University Museum of Art’s (MUMA) staged the survey exhibition, 'Brook Andrew Eye to Eye’, curated by Geraldine Barlow in 2007 and toured to Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest, Sydney 2007 and the John Curtin Gallery, Curtin University of Technology, Perth 2008. In a 2007 telephone interview with the author, Judith Ryan, the curator of Indigenous Art at the National Gallery of Australia described Andrew as a “multidisciplinary or new media artist, Brook consistently masters the medium while always making something provocatively beautiful. He is constantly pushing the boundaries of the beauty of the medium. For instance, with Sexy and Dangerous , the work is printed on duraclear and is hung out from the wall. He invents the medium as he goes along and he is always seeking to keep re-inventing himself”. Since 2004 Andrew has lived and worked in Melbourne, Victoria and since 2007 has been represented by Melbourne’s Tolarno Galleries. Writers: Loxley, Anne Date written: 2007 Last updated: 2011

Biography
Charlie Colbung, Noongar artist, was born in 1970 and spent his early life in Mt Barker. He has tertiary qualifications in both dance and art: in 1990 he completed an Associate Diploma of Performing arts in the Dance Development Unit at Clontarf Aboriginal College in Perth, and in 2004 he completed a Diploma in Aboriginal Visual Arts at Great Southern College of TAFE in Mt Barker. In 2007 he received the WA Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student of the Year award at the Western Australian Department of Education and Training (DET) Training Awards. Colbung works across a range of media including oils, acrylics, watercolours, mixed media, pencil and pastel. His great aunt was Bella Kelly , a renowned landscape painter from Mt Barker associated with the Carrolup school of artists. Colbung spent a lot of time with Kelly during his youth in Mt Barker, painting beside her and being shown how to mix colours and apply the paint. Kelly remained an ongoing source of inspiration for Colbung. Colbung seeks in his work to explore social and environmental issues of importance to him, aspects of Noongar culture and parts of his own biography. He participated in 'Liminal’, an exhibition at the Vancouver Arts Centre in Albany as part of the 2005 Perth International Arts Festival, the 'Lower Great Southern Noongar Artists Exhibition’ at the same location in 2005 and 2008, 'Hotspot’ at the Residency Museum in Albany (toured within Western Australia by Art on the Move) (2007) and 'The Legacy of Koorah Coolingah’ at the Brisbane Powerhouse (2009). In 2008 Colbung held two solo exhibitions, one at the Mungart Boodja Art Centre, and another, titled 'Bwokkenup-Boodja Mort and Me (Mt Barker country, family and me)’, at the Katanning Town Hall. In that year he also exhibited his work in 'Revealed: Emerging Artists from Western Australia’s Aboriginal Art Centres’ at the Central TAFE Art Gallery, Perth, where he and Alan Kelly represented Mungart Boodja.Colbung has also conducted art workshops at schools and worked as a dance teacher in the Gnowangerup Community, an arts officer at the Southern Aboriginal Corporation, an Indigenous programs officer at Great Southern TAFE and as an Aboriginal health worker for Great Southern Aboriginal Health Services.

Biography
George Khut was born in Adelaide in 1969 and currently lives and works in Sydney. His practice-based research has focused on the use of biofeedback and physiologically responsive media as tools for sensing and re-imagining the lived experience of mind-body interrelation. His interactive installation works enable participants to experience and interpret aspects of their own bodily processes as dynamic audiovisual environments. Recent works include Drawing Breath (2004-2006) and Cardiomorphologies v.1 (with John Tonkin) and Cardiomorphologies v. 2 (with Lizzie Muller and Greg Turner). The latter two works were developed during Khut’s Doctorate of Creative Arts candidacy at the University of Western Sydney, which he completed in 2006. This body of work created visual and sonic representations of physiological data from the audience’s body, in order to provide a way for participants to explore the relationship between physiology and their subjectivity. Khut’s exhibitions include 'Cardiomorphologies v.2’, Arnolfini, Bristol (2006), 'Strange Attractors’, Zendai Museum of Modern Art, Shanghai (2006), 'Asian Traffic’, Gallery 4A, Sydney (2005-2006), and 'I took a deep breath…’ at the 2007 Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth (BEAP). He has also worked as a sound designer and video artist in a range of dance, theatre and community arts projects. This record is a stub. You can help by adding more detail.

Biography
Sculptor Graham Chalcroft is best known for his environmental public art in Sydney (NSW). Born in 1968 in London, Chalcroft’s tertiary education included the study of sculpture, graphic design, painting and drawing at the Canterbury College of Technology (1984 to 1985); prop making, exhibition design and visual merchandising at Medway College, Kent Institute (1985 to 1987); and murals, ceramics, mosaics, stained glass and etching at the Chelsea College of Art and Design, London (1987 to 1989). Throughout this time sculpture remained his principal interest. After a period of freelance work, Chalcroft returned to complete a Masters degree in Public Art and Design at Chelsea College from 1995 to 1996. Upon completing his Masters degree Chalcroft moved to Australia in 1996 and began the process of visiting local governments and cultural development offices. Chalcroft’s education in public art helped to establish his credentials, and secured him his first grant-funded project in Mount Druitt with Garage Graphix. It was here that Chalcroft met graphic designer Stuart Slough with whom he formed the partnership, Placebo Culture. Placebo Culture sought to integrate Slough’s 2D graphic skills with those of Chalcroft in sculpture and public art. Chalcroft’s personal interest in science and the environment were evident in the Placebo Culture commissions, which included: Wollongong Science Centre forecourt entrance sculpture (May 2000); Hanging Under The Freeway (June to July 2001) – a temporary sculptural transformation of the pedestrian area under the Western Distributor in Ultimo, Sydney; an integrated installation at Liverpool Police Citizens Youth Club (2002); and the public art plan and various works for a Parramatta City Council river foreshore project. During this time Chalcroft also formed his own studio under the name Vertebrae. This practice, like Placebo Culture, co-addressed art and the environment, typically supported by extensive community consultation. His projects consider sustainability and the ecological context of the sites through permanent site-specific artworks as well as temporary and ephemeral installations, often working within a multidisciplinary team. Works undertaken by Vertebrae include E-waste sculpture (2005), a temporary project for Willoughby City Council; Spiral Ascent (2006), at the RAAF/WAAF Commemorative Sculpture Bradfield Park, Ku-ring-gai; interpretive sculptures for Drive Through Experience (2006 to 2007) at Mount Annan Botanical Gardens; two sculptures for the Bankstown City Council’s Georges River Historic Interpretive Link Project (2008); and the Solar Stills Sculpture Project (2000 to 2003). Chalcroft also works as an arts and cultural planner for a number of local governments and developers. His large scale sculpture and lighting design for Life Under The Freeway project for the Western Distributor at Harris and Fig Street intersection (2007-2008) was short-listed by Sydney City Council and his Weight Watchers series was commended in the Marrickville Contemporary Art Prize 2007 Writers: De Lorenzo, Dr Catherine Note: Coad, Francesca Note: Date written: Last updated: Status: peer-reviewed

Biography
Kuninjku artist, Belinda Kuriniya, was born in 1968 at Marrkolidjban, south-west of Manayingkarírra. She has worked with Bábbarra Designs as a printmaker since the mid 1990s and is known for her development of the tradition of the painted bark Mimih Spirit and Kun-madj (dilly bag). In 2012, Belinda took part in the Community Fabric and Indigenous Industry Forum located in Gunbalanya, Arnhem Land. The forum, titled, Travelling with Yarns, saw designers and textile printers from Indigenous Art Centres in communities across the Northern Territory travel to share their stories and discuss common issues and directions for the industry. When describing her role at Bábbarra Women’s Centre she stated, “We make fabric at the Women’s Centre and other women make clothes out of our designs. I saw the ladies working here and I saw that I could do this work too. I could do it too and do it well and earn a living. I started working with fabric in 1996, when I was a young woman, before I had children. I was already an artist, painting brolgas on bark and making baskets. I also make string. I am a good weaver and painter, which I do after work when I have the time. I learnt from my uncle and my mum as a child. Later I helped my husband. I use my mum’s and my uncle’s and my husband’s designs. I make the tiles and I print them. I like to use lots of colours in my designs. White is my favourite colour, then green, then yellow, light blue and black. I use lots of colours when I do flowers and mat designs. I like working by myself with my own designs and colours. I work by myself on my designs but with lots of other family and friends around, working hard. In the future I would like to keep working with fabrics and printing my new designs.” Belinda’s textiles have been exhibited across Australia and internationally in China and Mexico and her textile designs are held in the Art Gallery of New South Wales collection. Belinda has also featured as one of the senior artists, mentoring the junior artists, in a group exhibition, Báb-barra: Women’s Printing Culture at The Cross Art Projects (2017) [http://www.crossart.com.au/current-show].

Biography
Cindy Wider, nee White, was born in Brisbane in 1968. She grew up in Papua New Guinea and returned at the age of 11 with her parents and siblings to live in Australia. She began to engage in a full-time arts practice in Port Lincoln, South Australila, at the age of 23. Cindy moved to Queensland in 2002 where she met and married her husband Stuart Wider, who is also an artist. Cindy was short-listed for the Wayne Kratzmann Art Award in 2011 and her artwork was included in ‘Connection’, a touring exhibition of the 2011 Queensland Regional Art Awards. This exhibition was curated by Michele Helmrich (Senior Curator, University of Queensland Art Museum) and was shown at the State Library of Queensland in 2012. Cindy was also selected as one of twelve artists for the ABC Open and Queensland Arts Council project ‘Artist by Artist’ in 2011, and a documentary was created about her artwork. Her most recent solo touring exhibition titled, 'Rolling Hills of White Flat’, was well-received at the Outback Regional Gallery Waltzing Matilda Centre in Winton, Queensland. In this collection of works, Cindy examines the lives of farmers’ wives in her continual journey to formulate the complex definition of what it means to be a woman. Acting as her muse, Wider’s eldest sister, Wendy, a wife and mother living and working on a cereal and sheep farm in rural South Australia, provides the inspiration for this compilation of art. “I wanted to celebrate her life and bring recognition to her and farmer’s wives in general,” Wider explains of the origins of this latest body of work. 'Rolling Hills of White Flat’ examines the reality and fantasy of life on the land from a feminine perspective. Seeking to inject high levels of authenticity into each piece, Wider left the life of a cosmopolitan artist to live with her sister and family on the farm. She wanted to learn, firsthand, how her sister managed to overcome the struggles of living and working in such a harsh and traditionally masculine atmosphere while still maintaining a strong sense of femininity and personal identity. In 2013 Cindy moved with her husband and two young daughters to live in West Yorkshire, England, where she she lived and worked as a full-time artist and art curriculum designer Until 2017. In September 2017 Cindy and her family returned to Australia where she now lives in Cairns FNQ. She is represented by Art Licensing International USA for licensing her images onto home décor products. Cindy is also an author of art education books and manuals and has written four soft cover books as well as 37 E-books which together form the ‘Complete Drawing and Painting Certificate Course.’ She also creates many art education videos. This course is presented as a fully supported internet-based art curriculum with Cindy’s own personally trained team of professionals who teach the course at several websites including her own.

Biography
Stephen Garrett is a multidisciplinary video, sculptor and installation artist. He first studied Psychology and Social Work which he worked in for 10 years before returning to The University of Newcastle to study Fine Art where he graduated in 2001 winning both the Dean’s Medal and the University Medal. Straight after graduation, Garrett won the prestigious Marten Bequest Travelling Scholarship where he took the opportunity to live and work in Vietnam and China for 1 year, holding his first solo exhibition titled, ‘This That Here There’, at the Centre for Contemporary Art Hanoi. Garrett practices as an artist and writer having held over 12 solo exhibitions and his work has been curated into numerous group exhibitions; his writing has been published in book chapters, journals and exhibition catalogues. A key aspect of Garrett’s multidisciplinary oeuvre is the time he spends wandering around the Australian bush and outback researching and making his highly detailed video’s and sculptural installations. His work draws on cultural ideas of Australian colonial history and he places himself into that context by retracing the landscape and uncovering markers of the past. Demonstrating the significant national recognition he had already acquired at this early point in his career through his academic achievements, Garrett also contributed to his artistic reputation through the numerous grants and awards he has received, such as: the Muriel Hooper Scholarship from the Art Gallery of NSW (2000) The Marten Bequest (2001), Artist In Residence at the Centre for Contemporary Art Hanoi (2001) at the Melbourne Aquarium (2003), Artist in Residence, Newcastle Region Art Gallery (2007), C.R.A.C French Cultural Grant(with Marie Jeanne Hoffner)(2009), Creation and Development Grant from Arts Victoria (2012) His work is represented in several public collections throughout Australia, as well as private collections in nationally and abroad.

Birth Place
Innisfail, Qld, Australia
Biography
Screen-printer, drawer, photographer, video and text-based artist, Vernon Ah Kee was born in Innisfail in far north Queensland in 1967. He is of the Kuku Yalandji, Yidindji and Gugu Yimithirr peoples of the Innisfail, Cairns, and rainforest regions of North Queensland, the Koko Berrin peoples of Kowanyama in the West Cape region of Queensland, and the Waanji peoples of the North-West Queensland region around Mt Isa.Ah Kee’s artistic training began in 1986 when he enrolled in a screen-printing course at Cairns TAFE. After graduating from TAFE Ah Kee was employed as a screen-printer at Gum Tree Corner – a local printmaking firm where Ah Kee printed t-shirts. The closure of this business in 1990 was the driving force behind Ah Kee’s 1991 move to Brisbane where, in 1996, he enrolled in the previously mentioned Bachelor of Visual Arts at Griffith University, completing this degree in 1998. He continued with his academic study and in 2000 graduated from the same university with a Bachelor of Visual Art with Honours – Fine Art. At the time of writing Ah Kee is a candidate in Doctor of Visual Art (DVA) program at Griffith University.In an interview with Bruce McLean for Artlines (2-2007), Ah Kee states, “I’ve always been able to draw. I noticed I had the ability to draw when I was very young.” As a drawer of oversized portraits of family members both past and present, he sees himself as largely self-taught and although having always been a keen drawer, it was not until the final year (1998) in his Bachelor of Visual Arts (Contemporary Indigenous Australian Art) at Queensland College of Art at Griffith University did Ah Kee begin to seriously view himself as “an artist”. Inspired by Gordon Bennett and Richard Bell's use of text in their works, Ah Kee began experimenting with text as an art medium. He investigated various fonts, layouts and approaches to kerning (the process of removing the space between letters), eventually settling on Universal font which is then printed onto vinyl. In the article “Whitefella Normal” for the Summer 2007 edition of Artist Profile, arts writer and curator, Glenn Barkley describes Ah Kee’s text works as creating “an often brutal frisson in the way they confront and impact upon the audience.” Ah Kee’s text works manipulate both the formal qualities and connotations of particular words to subvert the viewer’s habitual understanding of text and language.Ah Kee’s first solo exhibition, “If I was White” in March 1999 was staged at Metro Arts Building in Brisbane and in 2003 he was invited to participate in Queensland Art Gallery’s exhibition “Storyplace, Indigenous Art of Cape York and the Rainforest”. In November 2004 he showed “fantasies of the good”, his first solo exhibition at Bellas Malani’s new Wooloongabba gallery space (his first Bellas solo show, “non people” was in 2002 when the gallery was located in Fortitude Valley). 2004 also provided Ah Kee with another first when he produced his first video work for ArtTV/2004, which was a joint project between SBS and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) and that shown at ACMI in Melbourne that same year. Together with Richard Bell, Ah Kee came up with the idea of creating a Brisbane-based Aboriginal artists co-operative and in 2004 Ah Kee, Bell and Jennifer Herd co-founded ProppaNow and invited Gordon Hookey, Laurie Nilsen, Bianca Beetson, Andrea Fisher and Tony Albert into its membership. In 2006, during the opening weekend of the 5th Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, ProppaNow presented the group show, “There goes the neighbourhood” at their studios in Brisbane’s West End. Ah Kee submitted his 2006 series of large charcoal portraits of male relatives for inclusion. In an interview with Daniel Browning for Artlines (2-2007) Ah Kee says that these portraits are “an attempt to revision the Aborigine as a beautiful and worthy subject full of depth and complexity.” Browning, in his article, describes Ah Kee as one of the country’s best contemporary draftsmen.In 2007 Ah Kee participated in “Sunshine State, Smart State” at Campbelltown Arts Centre, a show curated by Djon Mundine that included Richard Bell, Fiona Foley, Thanakupi, Ken Thaiday Snr, Tracey Moffat, Judy Watson, Lindy Lee and William Yang. Ah Kee’s work, including portraits and text work, was also included in “Culture Warriors”, the inaugural National Indigenous Art Triennal held at the National Gallery of Australia in 2007/2008 curated by Brenda Croft. Ah Kee’s profile has now attracted international attention with his 2008 series Gaze, which comprises of 12 charcoal drawn portraits on large scale canvasses, selected for inclusion in “Revolution – Forms That Turn”, the 2008 Biennale of Sydney.

Birth Place
Maningrida, Arnhem land, NT, Australia
Biography
Kuninjku artist, Susan Marawarr, was born in 1967 at Maningrida in north-central Arnhem Land. She is the daughter of artists, Anchor Kulunba and Mary Marabamba (https://www.daao.org.au/bio/mary-baramba/personal_details/), and the sister of eminent bark painters James Iyuna and John Mawurndjul (https://www.daao.org.au/bio/john-mawurndjul/personal_details/). Marawarr is a skilled printmaker, sculptor, weaver and bark painter, known for her striking black and white palette. Her works have a graphic and optical effect, where her intricate patterns often intertwine and overlap. Common subjects include the djang (the Dreaming) of Wak Wak, Ngalyod (Rainbow Serpent) and yawkyawk (female water spirit), alongside the imagery of dilly bags, fish-traps, mats and baskets, which may also have symbolic dimension. Her work is represented by Maningrida Arts and Culture (painting and weaving) and Bábbarra Women’s Centre (hand-printed textiles) at Maningrida in Central Arnhem Land. In 2000, Susan collaborated with Judy Watson [https://www.daao.org.au/bio/judy-watson-1/], a Waanyi artist, on Watson’s public art commission for Sydney International Airport forecourt, comprising fish fences and dilly bags cast in bronze. She then went on to tour the United States, in 2001, with the exhibition curated by Judy Watson titled Bush Colour: work on paper by women artists from Maningrida promoting the work and supervising bark painting workshops. As the name suggests, the exhibition, celebrated the strength and vibrancy of women’s art from the Maningrida region, revealing the artist’s knowledge and intimate connections to the surrounding bushlands, bush foods, plant and animal life, sacred sites, ancestor spirits and everyday objects. The exhibition held objects crafted and coloured from natural fibres of the Maningrida Region, including baskets, bags, fish traps and other woven articles. During discussions at Maningrida Arts and Culture, Susan remarked, “I print with my land on my land.” This is a strong statement about her connection to country and her culture and the links that her art has going back into the land like the trailing roots of land. Along the Oenpelli road, Susan said, “this is my country through my father, also my brothers….we got too many country.” Marawarr has been working with Bábbarra Designs since 2001. Over the last decade, Marawarr’s artworks has been presented by Maningrida Arts and Culture and within their collective shows at Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi in Melbourne, Annandale Galleries in Sydney, Nomad Art in Darwin and JGM in London. She has also featured in exhibitions at the Art Gallery of New South Wales [Crossing Country, 2004, http://caepr.anu.edu.au/sites/default/files/Altman/Chapters/2004_CrossingCountry.pdf.], and work is held in the collections of Art Gallery of Western Australia, Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of Victoria and National Gallery of Australia. Susan has also featured as one of the senior artists, mentoring the junior artists, in a group exhibition, Báb-barra: Women’s Printing Culture at The Cross Art Projects (2017) [http://www.crossart.com.au/current-show].

Birth Place
Redcliffe, Qld, Australia
Biography
Jeff Martin was born in Redcliffe, Queensland in 1967. He and his family moved often, from Queensland to New South Wales in the late 60s, Papua New Guinea from 1970 to 1976, eventually settling in Melbourne in 1981. In the late 80s Martin left school to work as a junior in an advertising agency but his career came to an abrupt end with the stock market crash of 1987. Turning to the hospitality industry, Martin took a job washing dishes in an exclusive Melbourne restaurant and was quickly promoted up the ranks. For the next 17 years he was involved in Melbourne’s restaurant industry as a waiter, cook and eventually as the owner of a small restaurant. Remaining disciplined to his creative passions throughout this period, Martin did life drawing, undertook small design projects, worked on consignment and sold a number of works privately. In 1999 Martin met his wife Caroline, whose family had strong connections to the arts community of Melbourne, and she encouraged his creative skills and convinced him to travel with her to Italy. It was on this four month vacation in 1999 that Martin came across, and fell in love with, the island of Favignana located on the northwest coast of Sicily. Initially inspired by Favignana’s noble fishermen, Martin painted sketched and photographed these men going about their daily ritual of supplying the small population with small fish. He remained unaware at this time that Favignana was home to the legendary Mattanza. La Mattanza (interpreted locally as 'The Death Trap’) is the name of a fishing ritual that has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. It is the catching of migrating tuna using hundreds of miles of nets, which funnel the tuna into a large trap. The net, when full of tuna, is surrounded by barges and then slowly raised towards the surface. Calm water becomes a fury and men, using handcarved timber-segmented poles with a metal gaff, pull these giant fish into the barges. It takes at least eight big men to retrieve one fish and the largest tuna on record weighed in at over one tonne. So important was this ancient ritual of fishing to the economy of Italy, that the island of Favignana had electricity before Rome. It was these men and this ritual that became the inspiration for Martin’s first solo show. Martin returned to Favignana in 2001 and again in 2003, self-funding each journey by working in Melbourne restaurants. It was during this last journey in 2003 that Martin realised this was more than just an interesting community to observe and paint. He says: “It was a community coping with both physical and emotional change, with global warming, over-fishing for new markets and poaching by foreign fleets. The fishermen of Favignana were facing a social crisis and the brutal Mattanza would soon be a thing of the past, leaving its community looking to new forms of income. The proud and noble fishermen of the Mattanza, who captured my intrigue at the outset, would have to redefine themselves. This is a crisis of global proportions realised on the faces of a few men and I am visually recording the historical and cultural changing of a small community in my work.” Martin Kantor of Melbourne’s Brightspace Gallery offered Martin his first solo exhibition which opened in October 2004. The sell-out show featured over 30 original works and was titled 'FROM FAVIGNANA’. This generally figurative body of work continued to be the focus of Martin’s paintings until early 2006. It has now become known as 'The Favignana Series’ and is held in private collections in London, Rome, Sicily, Sweden and throughout Australia and New Zealand. 'The Favignana Series’ spanning from 1999 to 2006, was based on the observations of a small fishing community and the environment that defined them. In early 2006, Martin began to explore the environment that defined him. He started with two simple questions, “How did I become who I am?” and “Why must I create?” Says Martin, “This process of many months eventually lead back to those formative school years where we are all moulded for our role in society. I attended more than my fair share of educational institutions and saw school as a constant, unexplained obstacle in my path to something else. As a child, I was an observer. Obviously an asset to any artist, but at the time it was more of a survival technique, as I was constantly assessing and adapting to new environments due to the family’s movements. I don’t have an issue with this, what I lost in educational continuity I gained in adaptation skills and I am very fortunate that I am now able do what I love and in this series I am celebrating that”. In this current body of work referred to as 'The Wall Series’, the wall stands fast, solid and impenetrable and is a constant in every piece. For Martin it represents the strength of the unyielding institution, however the use of light indicates that there is a way around it. It (the light) has been referred to by observers as representing hope and destiny. The children in Martin’s paintings fall under the shadows of the wall but are oblivious to it’s presence. They serve to date the work and each figure is derived from a childhood memory, but it is the wall, not the children, that is the focus point of the work. The communal drinking trough is the other constant image in every work. It is an evocative image and identifies the environment as school. Martin did not use any models or photographs as reference for this work as he felt it important to capture the emotion of his memories without the distraction of any specific visual reference. 'The Wall Series’ was first shown to the public in early March of 2007 in a 34 piece solo exhibition at Kozminsky Gallery in Melbourne. The exhibition sold out and new works from this series were taken to Art Sydney by United Galleries. In 2008 Martin exhibited with Gould Galleries Melbourne as part of the 2008 Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. Writers: Martin, Jeff Date written: 2008 Last updated: 2011

Biography
Graham Davis King is a Wiradjuri and Ngiyampaa artist and activist. He was born in the Crown Street Women’s Hospital in March 1967 to Ada King and Sid Davis. King’s grandfather Archie King was among the last Aboriginal law men to go through ancient Wiradjuri and Ngiyampaa Aboriginal law ceremonies in the first half of the 20th century.King grew up in the Sydney inner city suburb of Redfern and in and around the inner western suburbs. From an early age King has been involved in projects that concentrate on Aboriginal culture and education as an outcome. In 1985, and for the following 10 years, King worked on an Aboriginal radio program called 'Aborigines in Focus’ for Radio 2SER in Sydney whilst concurrently working at Radio Redfern (1985-1993). In 1993 King received a writing award from the Cannes Film Festival for his work on the film Lake Mungo Lady. King also continues to work as a dancer and storyteller and has performed in the Koories In Theatre troupe alongside the renowned storyteller, Pauline McLeod (deceased) from 1993 to 1999. This troupe performed at many venues in and around Sydney including schools, galleries and museums and also on ABC TV for Playschool. King also performed as a dancer with Yidaki Didj and Dance from 1994 to 2005 and travelled across Australia and internationally with this dance company.In the mid 1990s King was living in Wollongong and began submitting his works of acrylic and ochre on canvas to local group exhibitions. His first Wollongong exhibition, Unjustified, was in 1995 and was held at the Project: Centre for Contemporary Art as part of local NAIDOC celebrations. He submitted work the following year in the exhibition, Looking into Aftertime, which was again at Project. It was from these two exhibitions that the curator Tess Allas employed King to work alongside her and other local Aboriginal artists on two public art projects for Wollongong City Council in 1996. The first project was to redesign the Wollongong Town Hall Fountain with a local Aboriginal Dreaming Story. King provided the story of Gurangatch and Mirrigan, who created the subterranean waterways. The Coomaditichie Artists Cooperative headed by Lorraine Brown were the commissioned artists who turned the story into a Italian glass and Wilcannia marble mosaic. With the second public art work King worked alongside local Aboriginal ceramicist, Vic Chapman reinterpreting the Yaroma figtree story. This large mosaic work now sits where the original fig tree grew and depicts the Dreaming Story of Yaroma the hairy man who lived in the buttresses of the fig tree. King currently resides in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney where he set up the Blue Mountains Aboriginal Artists Cooperative in Katoomba in 2006 and is a Director of the Blue Mountains Aboriginal Culture and Resource Centre. Through this work King has been able to stage local exhibitions in which he also participates.In 2005 and 2006 King was a finalist in the Parliament of NSW Indigenous Art Award held at NSW Parliament House, Sydney. In the 2006 show he won the inaugural College of Fine Arts Professional Development Award.

Biography
Karla Dickens, Wiradjuri painter, was born in Sydney in 1967. Dickens enrolled in Life Drawing classes at high school where the female form was her main subject matter. She began her formal training as an artist when she enrolled at the National Art School in Darlinghurst, Sydney in 1991, obtaining a Fine Arts Diploma in 1993 and a Bachelor in Fine Arts in 2000. After moving to Wollombi in the Hunter Valley, NSW Dickens says her work became “more detailed with a stronger Indigenous feel.” She also says that her work at this time was about finding “more acceptance with my sexuality”. Following the death of a close friend in 1997 crosses began appearing as motifs within her paintings and in 2000 Dickens began incorporating text into her work. Her work in 2003 changed dramatically when Dickens began beading onto painted canvasses, a strong contrast of fresh mark making and fine textured detail. Her inspirations as stated in a 2007 interview with the author are “politics, love, sex and the environment”. Dickens has shown in many solo and group exhibitions including “The Art of Place” at Old Parliament House, Canberra in 1998, “Co-Existence” at Hogarth Galleries, Sydney in 1998, “Love Magic” at S.H. Ervin Gallery, Sydney for Perspecta 1999, “Aboriginal Ways of Knowing” at the Macy Gallery, Columbia University, USA in 2001, “Hung, Drawn and Quartered” at the Tin Sheds Gallery, University of Sydney in 2003, “Nice Coloured Dolls”, 24HR Art, Darwin, Northern Territory in 2004, “Our Spirit Our Country – Bundjalung Art Award” and “Chrysalis” both at Lismore Regional Art Gallery in 2006. In his article, “Where Eagles Hover” (Artlink, Volume 18, No 1) Maurice O’Riordan writes of Dickens’ work in her 1997 solo exhibition “Jowalbinna” (home of the ancient ones), “Dickens’ paintings show that the spirituality powering Aboriginal art is well and truly alive. In her series’ title painting, Jowalbinna, a host of 'mother earth’ deities dominates the shelters and the full moon nightscape of Dickens’ passage to them. A wedge-tailed eagle hovers above a footprint, coming to signify the hovering circle of eagles over the Guugu-yalanji people’s historic handover ceremony at the nearby Laura Aboriginal Dance Festival that year”. O’Riordan continues, “for brevity’s sake, it is not possible to detail all of the works in “Jowalbinna”. Each one celebrates a dream-like revelation through country whose spiritual and natural heritage can only inspire profound awe and respect. There’s a kind of magic in the way that Dickens connects with this country, though she was, like a tourist, experiencing it for the first time.” Dickens had a residency in Brewarrina in 1995 where she worked with 10 local children on a 16-metre mural. In 1997 she was the artist in residence at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Sydney and spent three months in Cape York, Queensland. In 1998 she had a two-month residency in Guardella, Italy. In 2006 Dickens was the recipient of the Bundjalung Art Award and the People’s Choice Award for her work in the “Our Spirit, Our Country” exhibition.

Biography
Latje Latje painter Trevor “Turbo” Brown was born in Mildura, Victoria in 1967. An intellectually disabled man, Trevor was homeless and suffered from neglect for a number of years in his youth. In 1982 he was 'adopted’ by Uncle Herb and Aunty Bunta who ran a Koorie Hostel in Greensborough, Melbourne. Brown flourished under their care, taking up boxing, rapping and breakdancing – it was at this time that he acquired the nickname “Turbo”, after one of the protagonists in the 1984 breakdancing film Breakin’ . It is the name he now uses when signing his paintings. In 2001 he began a Diploma of Arts (Visual Arts) at RMIT’s Bundoora Campus, which he completed in 2005. During this time he began painting animal scenes from his experience and his imagination. Brown’s work was included in a number of group exhibitions in Melbourne while he was still a student, and he held his first solo exhibition 'Turbo Brown’ at the Koorie Heritage Trust in 2004.Brown’s paintings, which he describes generally as his “Latje Latje Dreaming”, articulate his strong sense of affinity with the animals of the Australian bush. The reasons for his devotion to this subject matter are presented in Carolyn Webb’s article “Turbo-charged look at animal world” published in The Age (2005), in which she recounts that Brown once told Uncle Herb that 'when he was 15 and living on the Mildura streets and the Murray River bank, the animals were his only friends.’ His brightly coloured works, made with synthetic polymer paint, have a rough, painterly quality, and his sense of empathy with his subjects is conveyed in their expressive faces and the way they fill the pictorial space. Brown has held solo exhibitions at the Koorie Heritage Trust and Australian Dreaming Art in Melbourne, and Rex Livingston Art Dealer in Sydney. Important group exhibitions have included the 22nd Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award at the Museum and Gallery of the Northern Territory (2005), 'Landmarks’, curated by Judith Ryan and Stephen Gilchrist, at the National Gallery of Victoria (2006), and 'Culture Warriors’, the inaugural National Indigenous Art Triennial curated by Brenda Croft at the National Gallery of Australia (2007).

Biography
Martin J Day is a wildlife and portrait artist who was born the second youngest of nine siblings to parents Brian and Cherie Day. His Father was a builder and his Mother was a homemaker with Scottish heritage, both of whom became artists in their senior years. Martin began his artistic life very early, after watching his father Brian execute a perfectly rendered and life-like pencil drawing of a close family friend at the dinner table when he was at the age of eight. By age 15 he had enrolled in an illustration course via the Adelaide College of the Arts, which was completed covertly while being apprenticed as a builder by his traditionalist Father. He would later complete a graphic design course and be awarded a diploma in graphic design and illustration at that same college. Armed with a portfolio containing a few college drawings at an interview, which involved a live drawing presentation at TNT Leisure Brisbane, Martin was offered a position as the first official portrait artist to represent Queensland at the 1988 Brisbane world expo. At his portrait studio on the southern boardwalk side of the extravaganza, Martin would render an estimated 1,800 pastel-drawn portraits and figure illustrations, now ornamenting dining room walls around the world. Martin was also commissioned by Expo organizers to design and build a mobile Brisbane Expo-themed mural. The monument was constructed in 3 large canvas sections and was painted with the help of a group of artists during one of the final parades of the world fair. The finished abstract work was presented to the Brisbane Lord Mayor Sally-Anne Atkinson and was installed in her office hallway. Following the Brisbane, Expo Martin set up a portrait studio at McWhirters Marketplace in Brisbane city which would act as a base while he painted murals at various locations in Brisbane and its suburbs. Some of his portrait commissions included country music stars, Lee Conway and Chad Morgan. During this chapter, Martin also managed to complete an apprenticeship as a traditional signwriter and worked for various sign companies. Martin was involved in projects such as the Palazzo Versace on the Gold Coast where he was contracted along with signwriters, Artists, and interior decorators to create aged gold and marble effects all over the building’s interior rooms. In the early 90s, Martin also worked for Channel 10 Brisbane as a court artist and station illustrator beginning at the tail end of the famous Fitzgerald inquiry and continuing into the CJC trial of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Some of his involuntary subjects included characters such as Police Commissioner Terry Lewis, Luke Shaw, Jack Herbert (The bagman), Vic Conte, and Gerry Bellino. His court illustrations were sold to competing news stations both locally and overseas. The following 10 years were spent working as a professional Illustrator for 2 of Queensland’s largest Souvenir distributors, WW Souvenirs and Souvenirs Australia launching his designs into the global tourist market. During this time Martin completed several wildlife paintings and received a highly commended award for his illustration of a pair of Bald Eagles entitled “Nesting Ground” which was entered into the “Queensland newspapers Ken Cowley art competition” in 1998. With a first prize of $250,000, the contest attracted thousands of artists from around the country. Martin’s art career came to a halt when in 2007 he suffered serious wrist injuries after a 6-meter fall from a scaffolding shattering his Distal radius and Ulna bones. His wrist bones were so severely splintered that he almost lost his lower right arm. Six surgeries were performed over 2 years by a British surgeon named Dr. Michael Thomas. After years of rehabilitation, Martin eventually regained full use of his hand and fingers with enough dexterity and strength to once again pick up the paintbrushes. Today, ensuing a lengthy hiatus in the middle of a 3-decade career of Illustrating, Mural painting, and signwriting, Martin has revived his earlier passion as a wildlife artist and is currently painting watercolor works featuring Australian wildlife which will be shown at exhibitions both locally and overseas. Martin is a winner of the Talent prize award in the 2023 “Animal international juried art contest” held in Los Angeles for his bald eagle pastel drawing entitled “Surveillant Poise”.

Biography
Katrina Simon trained in architecture and landscape architecture, but also practises as a visual artist, specialising in small handmade objects. Born in London in 1966 to New Zealand parents, the family returned to Christchurch in 1969 where Katrina and her two brothers went to school. From 1984 to 1988, Simon studied architecture at the University of Auckland, followed by a Masters of Landscape Architecture at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand, from 1992 to 1995. During and shortly after her formal education, Simon worked in architectural and landscape architectural offices, but most of her design work – for which she has won various prizes – has come about as a result of projects undertaken while also working in a variety of capacities in universities and other tertiary institutions in Auckland, Cambridge (UK), and Sydney. Simon arrived in Sydney in 2007, taking up a position as Senior Lecturer of Landscape Architecture in the Faculty of the Built Environment, University of New South Wales. It was while she was studying for her masters degree that Simon took up her art practice. Using globes and cartographic representations of landscapes at scales ranging from 1: 50, 000, 000 to 1:1, she takes apart topographic maps into equal fragments and re-arranges them in order of colour codes rather than physical locations. This is to identify certain characteristics of the environment that can assist with understanding, improving and changing the urban landscape. In 2006 she contributed to an Art Web project funded by Smash Palace (a joint funding initiative of Creative NZ and the Ministry of Research Science and Technology) to research and complete a project report identifying patterns emerging from the Auckland region that would assist in making areas with lizard-friendly vegetation and cycleway conjunctions into areas more conducive to lizard populations. Whereas the above project used digital maps, Simon also uses paper maps, which she can divide into sections and attach to light, thin materials that can easily be pinned to walls for exhibitions, as was done for 'Seven Wonders (Natural and Scenic)’ in 2005 at the Snowwhite Gallery in Auckland, New Zealand. Simon’s work has also been exhibited in Sydney and New York. Simon also uses maps and plastic globes as core materials for designing her jewellery, some of which was exhibited at Objectspace (Auckland) in 2006. In the exhibition, 'Graticule’, her pieces included Globe Necklace, which was constructed from inflatable globes cut into strips and rolled into baubles. In doing this, Simon explored the relationship between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional surfaces. Taking the original objects and images apart and re-assembling and using them in unexpected ways enabled her to transform the familiar into the foreign, and in so doing to convey a different view of the landscape to that represented on conventional printed maps. Simon has received numerous design awards for both collaborative and solo design projects, including the Cavalier Bremworth AAA Design Award (Open Category) in 2004 and Urban Gaze AAA Panasonic Design Award in 2006. Simon has published a number of articles on design research and criticism, panelled as judge for design competitions, and in 2008 she enrolled in a PhD in Fine Arts at Sydney College of the Arts at the University of Sydney.

Birth Place
Port Augusta, SA, Australia
Biography
Donny McKenzie, born 1966, is a descendant of the Wangkanguru people of the Simpson Desert on his mother’s side, and the Adnyamathanha people of the Flinders Rangers region on his father’s side. McKenzie was born in Port Augusta in South Australia where he recalls making sandstone rock carvings along the foreshore as a child. His adult art practice began in 1989 when he undertook TAFE studies in Mildura. Since then he has worked across a variety of media including painting, wood carving, sculpture and glass. He has also worked as an arts educator and workshop facilitator with schools, youth groups and in gaols, and regularly participates in creative activities associated with community projects and festivals. In 2005 McKenzie took part in the week long National Limestone Carving Symposium, an event which takes place annually at the Old Gaol in Mount Gambier. The Symposium allowed McKenzie to work with limestone for the first time. The celebrated sculptor Silvio Apponyi was also at the Symposium and was impressed by the way McKenzie worked “from the heart” (McKenzie, pers. comm., 2009). Apponyi and McKenzie have since established a strong creative friendship, with Apponyi mentoring McKenzie in the development of his sculpting techniques. In 2008 they co-facilitated a sculpture workshop for young people at the U-Turn youth facility in Port Augusta.In 2004, McKenzie participated in ' ARID’, a public sculpture project jointly hosted by the Fountain Gallery and the Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden in Port Augusta, which saw sculptures created by artists from Port Augusta and the region spread throughout the Botanic Gardens. McKenzie gained approval from traditional owners of the region to create a large hebal block sculpture of a pregnant woman, titled Birthplace . Before colonisation, Port Augusta was a birthing place for Aboriginal people from the surrounding desert region because it was possible to access both salt water for healing and fresh water. To this day, Indigenous and non-Indigenous women from across the state continue to make their way to Port Augusta hospital to have their babies and McKenzies’ sculpture, which was acquired by the Port Augusta Council, acknowledges the historical and contemporary significance of Port Augusta as a healing place and birthing site for women from different cultures.'ARID’ was highly successful and later established as a biannual project: it attracts many artists from within the region as well as further afield, and an increasing number of Aboriginal artists have contributed work to the exhibitions. The exhibition series is one dimension of a growing artistic sector in Port Augusta, and the efforts of people such as Sam Yates – the coordinator of the 'ARID’ exhibitions – and McKenzie ensure many Aboriginal artists from Port Augusta participate in projects and exhibitions. McKenzie encourages and mentors Aboriginal artists in the region to explore different media and develop their own artistic language. The Yarnballa Cultural Festival, which took place for the first time in 2008, also contributed to a re-energised art and culture sector in Port Augusta. The inaugural Festival coincided with 'Port Augusta Re-Imagines’, when Port Augusta was the location of the 2008 Regional Centre of Culture Program. McKenzie was involved in the Festival in a range of capacities: he was an organising committee member, painted several Festival banners and contributed to the creation of large paper and cane sculptures of an eagle, fish and goanna which were carried across the old bridge by local school children at the start of the festival. He also exhibited paintings and glasswork in 'Ripples in the Sand’, an exhibition that took place at the Port Augusta Cultural Centre Gallery (before being toured to regional venues in other parts of the State) which was commissioned especially for the Festival. 'Ripples in the Sand’ consisted of artistic interpretations of the town and its region created by Indigenous artists who reside there. The Country Arts SA educational resource for the exhibition states that McKenzie’s imagery is “firmly based in his love of country. His knowledge of country is evident in the depiction of flora, fauna and landmarks unique to the area.” (p. 5).In 2005 McKenzie was commissioned by the Port Augusta Hospital to create a one metre high sculpture of a midwife holding a baby, which is on permanent display in the grounds of the hospital. He also contributed to the design and creation of the art installations at the Port Augusta Court Complex which opened in 2007. In 2006 McKenzie was awarded the Port Augusta NAIDOC Artist of the Year Award. In that year, he participated in the 'Our Mob’ exhibition at the Adelaide Festival Centre, and staged 'Donny McKenzie – an exhibition of hebel stone works ' at the New Land Gallery in Port Adelaide, showing sculptural works that addressed Aboriginal people’s experiences in prison and deaths in custody. In a conversation with the author (2009), McKenzie stated that he had permission from his elders to explore this theme further in his work, as well as the experiences of members of the Stolen Generation. He also described the way that, as a sculptor of public art, the concept for each work is not predetermined but rather emerges from the ideas and emotions that arise for him in each particular location. Beside his artistic practice and his work as an art educator and facilitator, McKenzie has had a very diverse professional life: working as a fireman, a pest control provider, a child care and aged care worker, a miner and as a health worker with the Pika Wiya Medical Centre. Many of these jobs involved helping others, black and white, and McKenzie spoke with the author of how rewarding he found such work, and having the opportunity to hear people’s stories. These sensibilities have informed his sculptural practice. Writers: Fisher, Laura Date written: 2009 Last updated: 2011

Birth Place
Paddington, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Biography
James Powditch creates mixed media works incorporating sculpture, assemblage and painting, while integrating his love of cinema and architecture. Born in 1966 in Paddington, Sydney, to Jenny Magrath and artist Peter Powditch, he lived with his mother in Sydney and the Sunshine Coast, Queensland from 1967. Powditch recalls that he spent his childhood in a beanie assembling lego in front of the television, absorbing cinematic influences as much as he loved building practical assemblages. From 1979-84 Powditch attended North Sydney Boys High School. During his years at school, he constantly went to the cinema, even figuring out ways to slip into the R-rated screenings. Powditch’s cinephilia paid off, informing the Super 8 film he shot for his final year Higher School Certificate major work. In 1987 Powditch commenced studies in Visual Arts at the City Art Institute (CAI now College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales) where he took a particular interest in film heroes such as Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, Ridley Scott, and Francis Coppola. Powditch left the CAI in 1987 to work as a general store hand at the Ray Hughes Gallery in Surry Hills, Sydney. It was during this time that he was inspired to begin building assemblage type artworks. In 1990 he left the gallery to travel to Europe, living in Spain, Greece, England and finally, France, where he gained work on the building of Euro Disney on the outskirts of Paris. Powditch continued his work abroad until 1992 when he returned to Australia where he moved to Newtown and converted his lounge room into a studio space. Following his return Powditch began work for the Sydney Theatre Company and The Australian Museum as a set and props builder. He worked for the companies for five years, acquiring a wide range of visual and building skills, many of which helped shape his constructed assemblage artwork. From the early 1990s Powditch showed his works at small artist run spaces and festivals such as Level 2 Gallery in Newtown (1998 and 1999), Walking the Streets Festival, Newtown (1993, 1994, 1998 and 2000), 'Sculpture by the Sea’ (2002), and the Tamworth Country Music Festival (1998). It was not until early 1997 that he teamed up with friend Rodney Simmons, a painter, at TAP Gallery in Darlinghurst for his first significant exhibition. For two years Powditch continued producing works for joint exhibitions in artist run spaces. In early 1999 he decided to travel abroad, exploring Canada, the United States of America and Mexico. While in the US, Powditch visited Fallingwater, an influential house from 1936-37 designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The visit to this site became the major influence for Powditch’s first commercial show on return to Australia later in 1999. Held at Sydney’s Dickerson Gallery in Woollahra, the exhibition, comprising a range of architectonic sculptural pieces not unlike architectural models, were inspired by various projects designed by Wright. While Powditch was influenced by building and architecture, it was his love of cinema which became the greater influence on his work. In 2000, he held the exhibition 'Widescreen’, followed by two film based shows in 2001, 'Technicolor’ and 'Cinemascope’. The titles of his works at the time – Parallax View, Zabriskie Point, Manchurian Candidate, The Old Man and the Sea, and The Planet of the Apes – were borrowed from films significant to the artist. Having once enjoyed the resourcefulness of putting together theatre and museum sets from a wide range of materials, Powditch began making assemblages using a mix of new and recycled building materials such as timber, plastic, metal, fabric and linoleum, much of which he found strewn along Newtown’s backstreets and abandoned warehouses. In 2001, after purchasing a 640sqm 1950s clothes factory in Marrickville and gutting and redesigning of the interior, Powditch had a plentiful supply of old building material from which to make his work. In his new space there were two separate studios, one for himself, the other for his partner, Diane Adair, a graphic designer. In 2003, thirteen years after he had left to travel to Europe, Powditch renewed his connection with the Ray Hughes Gallery, becoming an exhibiting artist at the gallery. He also took opportunities to assist the packing and installation crew at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. In the same year, Powditch and his father, Peter, held a joint exhibition, 'The Powditch and Powditch Show’ (Ray Hughes Gallery), exploring their differing styles, if not dissimilar qualities in their workmanship, given that Peter also uses recycled materials. In 2003 Powditch held his fourth cinematic exhibition, 'Spaghetti Western’. As the title suggests, his works responded to the genre of Italian westerns from the 1960s and 1970s and paid tribute to director Sergio Leone, one of Powditch’s cinematic heroes. In 2005 Powditch was awarded the ABN AMRO Emerging Artist Prize for the work Greensleeves of Home II; in the same year he won the Blake Prize for Religious Art for God is in the Detail. Ray Hughes Gallery hosted Powditch’s 2005 film-inspired exhibition 'Boo!’ which drew on films such as: To Kill a Mockingbird, Of Mice & Men and Lord of the Flies. The exhibition was to mark the end of Powditch’s long running association with Ray Hughes; he left the Gallery shortly afterwards in 2006. During a relatively quiet year in 2006, Powditch continued to work with cinematic themes supplemented by thoughts on the environment and human civilization, combining these investigations into his 2007 shows. 'It’s the End of the World as We Know it (And I Feel Fine)’ at the Finders Street Gallery, and 'Enjoy Civilization’ (Defiance Gallery at the Seymour Centre, University of Sydney) explored issues of environmental greed, consumerism and trade as well as continuing to acknowledge cinema. 'End of the World’ included the painted assemblage Butterfly Effects, which was to become the winning piece in the 2007 Mosman Art Prize. During the same year Pulp – Show us your Map of Tassie was Highly Commended in the Paddington Art Prize. In 2008 Powditch’s portrait of actor, Aden Young was hung in the Archibald prize, his first inclusion into the show. The following year Powditch was again accepted into the Archibald with a tribute to his father. His work is held in the collections of the Ballarat Regional Art Gallery, Victoria, Mosman Art Gallery, Sydney, New England Regional Art Gallery, Armidale, Tweed River Art Gallery and Murwillumbah.

Ormskirk, Lancashire, England
Biography
Christopher Rimmer (b.1965) is a British born Australian photographer, best known for his emotive images of the African wilderness. Rimmer was born in Ormskirk, Lancashire, UK, before emigrating to South Africa as a child. Here, he would experience many personal challenges including the loss of his parents and brother at an early age; experiences that would later impart a profound impact on his photographic work. The mood of 1970s Apartheid in South Africa would likewise go on to occupy Rimmer’s adult life and become represented through his work. Indeed, Rimmer’s move to Australia in 1981 was perpetuated by avoiding conscription into the South African Army. Rimmer began taking photographs as a teenager while in South Africa, at first using a plastic 35mm Hanimex camera, he sold his first photograph to the angling magazine ‘Tight Lines’ at the age of 15 in 1980. Rimmer began formal training once in Australia, first under Werner Hammerstingl and then at Rusden College, Melbourne under Paul Green, completing a Bachelor of Arts in Media and Photography and Graduate Diploma of Education in 1991. Here, Rimmer attained experience in utilising medium and large format film cameras. Following graduation, he taught darkroom printing at three Melbourne schools and was appointed Victorian editor of Scuba Action Magazine in 1991. Rimmer spent hundreds of hours taking underwater photographs in exotic locations such as the Red Sea and the Great Barrier Reef which also featured in publications. In 2009, Rimmer was diagnosed with cancer and completed a course of chemotherapy in recovery that also saw him lose 25kg. Only five weeks later after the completion of his treatment, Rimmer returned to his artistic endeavors, heading into the African wilderness in the attempt to regain his personal and spiritual well-being through the creation of further work. Rimmer’s best known series of works have drawn from excursions he made in 2009 to his former homeland and other areas of the African wilderness (Etosha Pan, etc.). Christopher Rimmer – In Africa, opened in Melbourne in March 2011, and Spirits Speak opened at Without Pier Gallery, Melbourne in June 2012, both being well received critically and also through popular recognition. In each, Rimmer seeks to make a connection with the landscape of his childhood, drawing strength from the beauty of its culture and wildlife. He employs sepia toning through much of his photographic work which highlights the sense of time passing, and also the fragility of his subject matter- the African wilderness, including species that are under threat of hunting. His most recent exhibition, Signs of Life, highlights the way a period of human activity is inevitably subject to the passing of time. The result, expressed in his photographs of the old mining towns of Kolmanskop and Elizabeth Bay, depicts a once proud moment of human endeavour that becomes eroded by the changing landscape it inhabits. Rimmer states it is this product that he finds both visually beautiful, while also serving as an analogy for the ultimate futility of human endeavor. Today, Rimmer is undertaking work on his latest project, “Amopondo”, which will be exhibited at the New York Art Expo 2015. He is also undertaking a commissioned project with St Kilda, Tourism, that will include a publication incorporating his works, which will also be displayed as large banners suspended from vacant buildings in the area. Rimmer is a member of the Royal Photographic Society. In 2009, he received an Excellence Accreditation from the Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP), Paris, France in 2009, and a Platinum Accreditation in 2010. He was also shortlisted for Black and White Photographer of the Year in 2011 and 2012 by the British B+W Magazine. In 2010, Rimmer drew the media’s attention when sample photographs for an upcoming exhibition he had displayed on Facebook were deleted by the company. The photos displayed bare-breasted and breast-feeding tribal Himba women as the subject of his current series. The photos were deemed unsuitable for viewing (by children) and pornographic, violating Facebook’s terms of use policy. This caused some debate over the ethics of Facebook’s censorship policy regarding not only Rimmer’s work, but other artists’ work and wider art forms. In 2013, he also withdrew a long running association held with Nikon, due to the company’s promotion and production of optics specifically made for trophy hunting, including large animals found in Africa- the very feature of his most emotive work. He is also a supporter of the World Lion Day’s campaign to promote conservation awareness for the species, alongside other organisations and individuals including the National Geographic. Rimmer’s photographs of Africa have been widely published in both traditional and online media. He has exhibited in group and solo shows in Australia, UK, France and US. His work is represented in several public and many private collections. Writers: AngelaTandori Date written: 2014 Last updated: 2014

Biography
Elisa Markes-Young, artist, was born at Gorlice, Poland in January 1965, daughter of Edward Markes, a doctor, and Renate, née Hadaschik. The family migrated to Germany in 1981. Markes-Young is largely self-taught, utilising and expanding on techniques learnt as a child from both her mother and in school. She later studied languages at the University of Cologne. She met the artist Christopher Young in 1995 while on holiday in New Zealand. Shortly after Christopher moved to Germany, they married in 1996. She began exploring various mediums including pottery, illustration and photography. Together the couple moved to Western Australia in 2002. They live and work from Margaret River. Focussing full-time on her practice, Elisa began exploring textiles as a medium. The Strange Quiet of Things Misplaced #24 exemplifies Markes-Young’s ongoing enquiry into identity and the unreliability of our memories: “Memory is a mystery. We imagine it as being some sort of a cupboard where things are stored and pulled out when needed. But sometimes things are misplaced and it’s only then, when our memory fails us that we brood over its nature. We ask ourselves how could we forget…?” (Elisa Markes-Young, 2011) A complex repeating pattern degrades as it moves across the surface of the work. New patterns evolve, highlighting the malleability of memory. Markes-Young has won multiple Western Australian art awards including the inaugural Mid West Art Prize 2011 with her work The Strange Quiet of Things Misplaced #24.

Johnathan Jones (AGNSW) kindly states, 'The detailed study of flora is echoed in the woven imagery of Val Law (West), with her Woven Stories print series. Woven forms, like that seen in the sculptures of Julie Freeman and Phyllis Stewart who both weave with local grasses, vines and bark, often decorated with nuts, shells and feathers, are translated into print media by Law, who brings together the different strands or threads of life to create a whole sense of self. Her work, like that of her peer Regina Pilawuk Wilson (b.1948) from Peppimenarti in the Northern Territory, is a filigree of lines forming and re-forming, referencing her earlier line design work.’ Johnathan Jones – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, Art Gallery of New South Wales AGNSW.

Newcastle, NSW, Australia
Biography
Adrian McGregor is a landscape architect, urban designer and public artist. He was born in 1965 in Newcastle, New South Wales. While in high school he had interests in both flora and design and worked part-time at a local plant nursery. By the end of his schooling McGregor decided to embark on a degree in landscape architecture. From 1984 to 1987 he studied at the University of Canberra and received a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. After graduating, he worked in Sydney before moving to the United Kingdom and North America to work on many environmental projects. Between 1994 and 1995 McGregor decided to further his educational qualifications by studying horticulture at the Gold Coast Institute of TAFE. In 1998 he founded mcgregor+partners, a landscape architecture and urban design firm based in Manly, a northern beach suburb of Sydney. His art practice, whether working alone or collaboratively, shares many attributes with his landscape architecture. Embedded in outdoor spaces, he uses his public art to address themes of environmental awareness and sustainability. When working collaboratively with other artists, each participant contributes his or her knowledge and ideas into a creative process that is more than a sum of its parts. Three such projects include Amoeba (2004) Surrogate Trojan (2008), Lube Ring 101 (2008-09). For Amoeba, McGregor collaborated with colleagues Rupert Carmichael and Christian Borchert in the installation of a temporary project that demonstrated qualities in both public and sustainable art. Displayed for a single day (28 October 2004) in Martin Place, Sydney, the project consisted of 132 amoeba-like cells made of used tyre rings painted white, pink, orange or blue (to attract attention), each filled with Stratum Green, a soil substitute made of used tyres, with the occasional sprinkler placed in the middle. Laid out in a grid on the granite-paved surface, the playful work demonstrated regeneration and expressed a desire to use temporary public art to provoke surprise and debate about excessive waste. In this instance it was a team of landscape architects who demonstrated the recyclability of bald tyres in a temporary symbolic art piece. Surrogate Trojan was an outdoor collaborative project that McGregor worked on alongside architect/artists Russell Lowe and Richard Goodwin. Erected at Lee Wharf, Honeysuckle (Newcastle), Surrogate Trojan was part of Steffen Lehmann’s Back to the City project, in Newcastle, (24 January – 17 February 2008) and was awarded the prize for Best Installation in the Urban Context. In this work, a shipping container was filled with a bed of canola seeds, providing a setting for a short film on genetically modified (GM) foods. Strategically placed near a wharf where once there had been a protest against the importing of GM seeds, the work was designed to raise consciousness about inadequate food labelling as much as it also entertained visitors by raising the perils of GM foods sneaking through our harbours and into supermarket shelves. Les Murray’s enigmatic short poem, Stone statues of ancient waves, tongue like dingoes on shore, announces a new model of collaboration for McGregor in the creation of Lube Ring 101 at Ballast Point, Sydney. Murray’s words, cut out of old oil tanks recycled from the site, are integrated into the skeletal cylindrical structure that also carries eight wind turbines to generate night lighting for the site. This permanent public artwork forms part of the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority collection.Sustainability is the ethos behind McGregor’s public art installations as well as his more substantive landscape architecture and urban planning projects such as Chang Gung hospital (Taiwan, 1998), Parramatta Road (Sydney, 2001 and ongoing) and Green Square town centre (Sydney, 2001 and ongoing) to name a few. His temporary art works aim to make the public aware of the environmental issues such as waste management or genetically modified foods, while his landscape architecture projects focus on long term sustainability.

Narrogin, WA, Australia
Biography
Caroline Narkle, Noongar artist, was born in Narrogin in Western Australia in 1957, the youngest of Bella Kelly and Largy Narkle’s four children. When she was five years old, she was taken away from her parents and brought to Wandering Mission (also known as St Francis Xavier Mission) with her sisters Cheryl and Lorrice and her brother Geoffrey Narkle . Caroline Narkle remained there until 1969, when she returned to be with her mother who was living on the Mt Barker reserve. Narkle remained in Mt Barker, where she married and had seven children. In 2008 she moved to Albany with her family. Narkle began painting in her adult years, following in the footsteps of her mother, Bella, a renowned Noongar landscape artist whose work is admired throughout the Great Southern, South Coast and Southwest regions of Western Australia. Bella taught Narkle painting techniques, and Narkle regards her as her primary artistic influence. Her artistic skills developed further over four years of study in Visual Arts at Great Southern TAFE in Mount Barker and Albany. She feels indebted to TAFE lecturer Dianne Sheehan for her teaching, encouragement and friendship. Narkle’s landscape paintings bear some resemblance to those of her mother, and like Bella, she paints indoors, drawing on a mental image of places she has been or feels strongly attached to, rather than paintings directly from life. Narkle also paints her memories of being at Wandering Mission, such as the bell that would call the kids to meal times and church, or girls making beds and washing clothes.In 2009 Narkle was included in the Brisbane Powerhouse exhibition 'The Legacy of Koorah Coolingah (The Legend of Children Long Ago)’, and the exhibition 'Noongar Koort Boodja – Noongar Heart Land’ at Gadfly Gallery in Perth. She paints in association with Mungart Boodja Art Centre in Katanning. Writers: Fisher, Laura Date written: 2009 Last updated: 2011

Biography
Joanne Dunn (painting as Joanne Reid) is a Wiradjuri woman, born in 1965 at Lake Cargelligo in New South Wales, Australia. In 1980 Dunn moved to Orange, New South Wales. Dunn is a self-taught artist, and during her career developed her own style, often combining Aboriginal and European art forms and also experimenting with abstract pieces. Dunn started “Jemalong Art” (jemalong meaning platypus) in June 2000, prior to which she painted for eight years with various Aboriginal organizations.Dunn has held a number of exhibitions both in Australia and the United States of America (in Nashville, Tennessee). She developed her talents into a commercial enterprise with the assistance of the Parkes Forbes Business Enterprise Centre, a not-for-profit business advisory service.In 2001, Dunn presented the first of a number of major exhibitions of her work in Sydney at the Country Embassy, hosted by Peter Croft, Chief Executive Officer of Parkes Forbes Business Enterprise Centre and the Department of State and Regional Development.The exhibition was opened by The Minister for Small Business, the Hon. Sandra Nori MP, as part of the launch of the Indigenous Small Business Advisory Service and featured 42 artworks by Dunn. In praise of the art, the Minister said: 'The exhibition highlights the talent and drive that Dunn has to translate her creative pursuits into a successful business and a source of financial independence’.Another major exhibition at the State Parliament House in Sydney was opened by the then Premier of New South Wales, Mr. Bob Carr, and hosted by Peter Croft, Chief Executive Officer of Parkes Forbes Business Enterprise Centre. The exhibition consisted of 30 artworks by Dunn and was on display for twelve months.Dunn’s depiction of Australian flora and fauna and her unique use of traditional Aboriginal methods also created interest in Nashville, Tennessee, when her works were exhibited at the Centennial Park Arts & Crafts Centre as part of the Australian Festival in 2003. Dunn will be making her first visit to Nashville in September 2006 where she will be exhibiting her works as part of the Australian Festival.Her works have also become sought after for official and private collections. One of Dunn’s major works was purchased to hang in the Orange Court House. Other works have been purchased by the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales, State and Federal Parliamentarians.Several of her works were purchased by a Sydney based firm for T-shirt and wall hanging designs and manufacture.Dunn’s works extend from fine art to community projects. She designed the new welcoming signs located on the outskirts of Orange at each point of entry to the city. Dunn developed a totemic design in 2003 by adapting it to a land drawing, which will be the basis for construction of a giant platypus to be built in Orange at the Gosling Creek Reserve. The overall theme for the site is “drawn from the land” which indicates that inspiration, ideas and materials are drawn from the site and pays tribute to Indigenous and non-Indigenous occupants of the area. The platypus design is the first component of the project which will become a land or earth art measuring 70 metres in length. The image will be visible from several sections of the park and from the air, connecting the entry signs from the outskirts to the city centre. Although the project has been developed is yet to be constructed whilst awaiting funding advice from Orange City Council. Another of Dunn’s achievements includes use of her art works by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training to illustrate promotional materials for the Elsa Dixon Aboriginal Employment Program. Similarly, her work was selected to adorn materials for the Indigenous Self Employment Program. These arrangements were negotiated by the BEC. Dunn teaches Aboriginal Art and Cultural Practices through the New South Wales Technical and Further Education system.More recently Dunn was invited to participate in the “Water Works” showing held at the Orange Art Gallery in November 2005. The story behind Dunn’s painting is:“Waterworks is a thematic depiction of the history of the Orange waterways as seen through the eyes of a Wiradjuri woman. Its themes include the local river systems, ranging from Mount Canobolas to the Lachlan and including local fauna and flora”. Dunn was also invited to exhibit at the Careflight Exhibition, held in Orange, in December 2005. Her latest project is a reconciliation project at Bowen Public School in Orange, New South Wales, which embraces the coming together of all children, with a particular emphasis on troubled youth.Peter Andren, Independent Federal Member of Parliament (1996-2007) for Calare, is a great supporter of Dunn and has said in the context of Dunn’s Nashville exhibition, “This will be a great opportunity both for Dunn and to raise an awareness and appreciation of Aboriginal art in America. Aboriginal art covers a wide spectrum from Central Australia and Arnhem Land and urban Australia, from ancient to so-called traditional and modern. Dunn’s unique style has received wide acclaim, particularly her interpretation of nature and reconciliation themes”. Writers: Allas, TessCroft, Peter Date written: 2007 Last updated: 2009

Biography
Adam Cullen, painter and Archibald Prize winner, was born in Sydney in 1963. He studied Fine Arts and Professional Art Studies at the City Art Institute in Paddington, initially graduating in 1987. Later he returned as a research student when the former CAE joined the He University of New South Wales, graduating with a Master of Fine Arts in 1999. Despite his apparent conventional academic trajectory, Cullen was initially best known for his confrontational stunts and punkish ploys. In one performance he walked around for a week with a severed pig’s head chained to his ankle, during which time he was banned from public transport. His friend and fellow student, Andrew Frost, saw this as an indication of his long term obsession with decay and death.Cullen’s most challenging performance piece was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in 2005. Home Economics consisted of Cullen and fellow artist Cash Brown, standing at a table with various domestic appliances and easily purchased ingredients. Then as Cullen read from sources found on the internet, Brown drew accompanying diagrams to show how weapons of mass destruction could be made by all.His joy in challenging authority can be seen in his later collaboration with Mark 'Chopper’ Read on a children’s book entitled Hooky the Cripple . Cullen’s work approached difficult social issues with a light touch. Crime, masculinity and cowboy culture, were all exposed through a lens of humour. Formally, his paintings united high and low culture through the combination of bold, gestural brushstrokes and appropriated imagery. Cullen was the recipient of a number of distinguished prizes most famously the Archibald Prize in 2000 for his portrait of the actor David Wenham. Ice was also a regular finalist in the Archibald, the Sulman and the Blake Prize. In 2002 Cullen represented Australia at the 25th Bienal de Sao Paulo.For many years he suffered from ill health, which was exacerbated by a life style characterised by drugs and heavy drinking. At the time of his death he was a diabetic, and had his pancreas removed and was heavily medicated, not for pleasure but for survival. Andrew Frost wrote 'Adam has left us his legacy: the good, the bad and the ugly, the funny, the insightful and glacial glistening of truth, the dancing black line, the splat of curdled enamel on the infinity of a single colour acrylic. It wasn’t conceptual he always said, it was optical. Just look and you will see.’ Writers: Chalk Horse Gallery Joanna Mendelssohn duckydo37 Date written: 2010 Last updated: 2018

Peter Waples-Crowe, mixed media artist, was born in Sydney in 1965. Raised in Wollongong, he completed a Bachelor of Creative Arts at Wollongong University in 1989. A descendent of the Wiradjuri and Ngarigo nations, his works – which combine figurative elements with symbolic motifs – are a means by which he can explore his sense of connectedness with his ancestral lands. They also express his concerns about the contemporary challenges Indigenous people face, and are informed by the knowledge and experience he has gained from working in the area of Indigenous health with communities in New South Wales and Victoria. He has participated in a number of exhibitions, including “Icons” at the Wayward Gallery in Byron Bay (2003), the solo exhibition “Sacred Details” at the Koorie Heritage Trust in Melbourne (2005), and the 22nd and 23rd Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (2005 & 2006). Waples-Crowe was short-listed for the 2005 and 2008 Victorian Indigenous Art Awards. In 2009 he was living in West Melbourne. This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography.

cartoonist, drew obsessively as a schoolboy living in Sydney’s Marrickville West. He began work as a copy boy at News Limited in 1982 then got a cadetship as an artist. He joined Wollongong’s Illawarra Mercury in 1984 after convincing the editor of the need for a cartoonist: “It started off once a week and ended up daily”, Foyle reported (p.94). He replaced Benier as editorial cartoonist on Sydney’s Daily Mirror in 1986, where he continued the Rigb y/Benier style of duo-board cartoons. Vince O’Farrell took over on the Mercury . An original c.1970s cartoon by 'Warren’ is at ML PXD 764. In late 1988 Brown and O’Farrell were working on a comic strip, which the latter claimed would be 'bigger than Mickey Mouse’ (Foyle, 96). Warren has been political cartoonist on the Sydney Daily Telegraph since its merger with the Daily Mirror in 1990 and, according to Ann Turner’s criteria (circulation figures), is one of the two most influential cartoonists in Australia. (The other is Mark Knight , on Melbourne’s Herald Sun .) 'The Telegraph sells over 400,000 copies weekdays; 350,00 copies on Saturdays and 720,000 on Sundays – making the Sunday Telegraph Australia’s largest selling newspaper’, Turner comments, admitting the figures taken from Audit Bureau of Statistics do not reflect actual readershi 'I’ll count to ten’ from the Telegraph of September 1998, and 'Britannia’ of June 1997, were exhibited in Bringing the House Down: 12 Months of Australian Political Humour (Canberra: National Museum of Australia/ Old Parliament House exhibition, 1997), cats 24, 61. Warren exhibited again the following year and spoke about his work at the Old Parliament House Seminar on Australian Political Cartooning on 5 December 1998. He had three originals in the 2001 exhibition: 'Keeping it up’, 'Liberty weeping’ and 'Terrorism’ (according to NMA website). Warren Brown was nominated for a Walkley in 1990 (and possibly later). He later won a Stanley Award for best editorial cartoonist. Warren Brown returned to Marrickville to live in 1992. Under a self-portrait in the Weekend Australian 1-2 April 1999, 6, Brown of the Daily Telegraph comments: 'In every pub, on every train, driving every cab, there is someone itching to tell you what constitutes a great cartoon. Why? Because “it must be great to have a job taking the piss out of politicians.” It is. The tricky part is whether you torture your victims subtly or take them out with an axe.’ The panel says: 'The artist: “Irreverent. Habitually funny and capable of anything. Must be looking forward to a bright future under a new editor.” The politician: “Not bad. Rose to the occasion recently when he had the dove of peace flying out of Kosovo and the Nato hawk flying in.” ' Warren Brown has also appeared on television, as a reporter on the ABC’s history-based Rewind program in 2004 and as one of the initiators of Peking to Paris , a re-enactment of the 1907 car rally, also shown on the ABC, in 2006.

Biography
Alex Zubryn, painter, was born in Melbourne in 1965. He studied at the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne from 1983-1985, during which time he completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts, later returning to the VCA/University of Melbourne and finishing a Masters of Fine Arts in 1998. After completing his undergraduate studies at the VCA, Zubryn was awarded the College’s Travelling Grant, which enabled him to visit Italy in 1986 to study various collections, as well as travel to major museums in Europe. After returning to Melbourne, Zubryn undertook an artist residency at Gertrude Street Gallery, Melbourne (1987-88) and he joined Christine Abrahams Gallery, where he held his first solo exhibition in 1989. In the same year, he once again made a study trip to Italy, followed by Greece and the USA. Zubryn’s extensive travels continued, when in 1998-99 he visited countries such as Russia and France, and later Germany, among others, in 2001, gaining further insight into the history of art across numerous cultures. His travels in 2001 had in fact been prompted by a studio residency at the British School in Rome, awarded to Zubryn by the Australian Arts Council. Zubryn’s paintings often present everyday scenes, such as the works in his series ‘Hard Rubbish’ (2010). This group of paintings depict objects discarded on the nature strip, presenting a juxtaposition between the private realm of the homes from which the objects originated and the public nature of suburban streets. In an early series, around 2004, Zubryn portrayed large, powerful tree trunks, which were inspired by ranks of gums near Melbourne Zoo. Zubryn’s paintings, such as those from ‘Things of an Urban Nature,’ draw upon photographs as visual references, yet they retain a painterly application of the medium. Since 1988, Zubryn’s work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Australia and overseas. His solo exhibitions have included ‘Things of an Urban Nature’ (2003) Esa Jaske Gallery, Sydney (also exhibited at Mass Gallery, Melbourne in 2002), and ‘Other Cities’ (2004) La Trobe Regional Gallery, Morwell Victoria. Turning to group exhibitions, Zubryn’s work appeared in the 1999 Deacons Graham and James Art Prize at the Ian Potter Museum of Art, Melbourne, the Keith and Elizabeth Murdoch Art Prize at The Victorian College of the Arts in 1999 and 2001 and ‘Rome Academici’ at the Monash University Faculty Gallery, Melbourne, and at the British School in Rome in 2005, later travelling to the University of Hobart. In addition to his career as an artist, Zubryn has worked extensively as a teacher. Prior to his position as Associate Lecturer of Media and Communication at RMIT University, Melbourne, he was involved in various community projects and taught at Trinity Grammar School and The School of Early Childhood, La Trobe University. Notable awards in Zubryn’s artistic career have included the previously mentioned Victorian College of the Arts Travelling Grant (1986) and the Rome Studio Residency presented by the Australian Council in 1999. Furthermore, in 2008, Zubryn received a commission from the Director of the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) to create a painting in commemoration of the new stand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), which is on display in the MCC members stand. Zubryn’s work is held in several prominent Australian collections including the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne, and Artbank, as well as overseas collections, such as Foundation Colas, France, and various private collections.

Biography
Lauren Berkowitz studied sculpture at the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne and later received a Masters in Fine Arts (Sculpture) at the School of Visual Arts, New York. Since 1985, she has shown in 20 solo exhibitions and 66 group exhibitions in Australia, Japan and the United States. She is the recipient of numerous awards and grants, including Project Grants from the Visual Arts and Craft Board of the Australia Council and, most recently, an Arts Victoria International Cultural Exchange Grant, which assisted her participation in the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial, Japan (2003). Lauren Berkowitz is an installation artist, working mostly on ephemeral and site-specific works that evoke the passage of time and our place within it. Often inspired by the landscape but troubled by its degradation, her works also references the history of contemporary art, in particular American painting and sculpture of the 1960s and 1970s. Berkowitz’s work is made with an almost obsessive attention to detail after painstaking research and, ultimately, total dedication to the moment of making. Recently she has made use of sands, gravel and salt, as well as plant detritus, to make installations that resonate meaningfully within the landscape, while paying homage to Robert Smithson’s earthworks and Frank Stella’s stripe paintings, among others. Her 2004 exhibitions in Sydney at Artspace (an ephemeral floor-piece) and Sherman Galleries (works designed for domestic and corporate spaces) featured sands and salt, referencing the coastal and built environment of Sydney and Australia’s desert regions. In 2005, her installation, Shadows and Light, at the Lake Macquarie City Gallery, comprised coal and indigenous wood shavings, reflecting the history of the region. Lauren Berkowitz’s work is held in the collections of a range of institutions in Australia and the United States, including the Museum of Modern Art Library, New York.

Birth Place
Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Biography
Yorta Yorta possum skin cloak maker, printmaker, sculptor, weaver, and painter, Treahna Hamm was born on the 16th May 1965 in Melbourne and grew up at Yarrawonga near her ancestral lands on the Murray River, Victoria but disconnected from her mother and culture. Never denying her identity and heritage, Hamm has maintained strong connections to her environment and has since meeting her birth mother in Sydney in 1992, she has begun incorporating Yorta Yorta stories into her work. After establishing herself as an artist of repute in the capital cities of the eastern states of Australia, she returned to live and work in her ancestral homelands of Echuca/Moama/Barmah along the Murray River in 2001 and became involved in art projects with the local Yorta Yorta people of the Murray River (Dhungala). Working with the local community is important for Hamm as she sees herself as helping to reclaim the art and cultural practices of her people. As Hamm stated in an interview conducted for this biography, “As a Yorta Yorta artist I focus on the reclamation, revitalisation and regeneration of South East Australian art (Yorta Yorta in particular) and that of the stories connecting me to my culture and heritage as an expression of who I am within my community. Other influences relate to the environmental stories of the Murray River (Dhungala) and the Barmah Forest not only as artworks but for education as well.” Hamm has been creating and exhibiting art since 1982 when she enrolled in an Art and Design course at Wangaratta TAFE. She continued her education at Charles Sturt University (CSU) Wagga Wagga where between 1984 and 2000 she completed a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts), a Diploma of Education and a Masters of Visual Arts. It was here at CSU that she became influenced by abstract expressionism and aware of the 'urban’ Aboriginal art movement in general and the then newly formed Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Cooperative in particular. In 2004 Hamm completed a Bachelor of Arts (Njernda studies) at Victoria University and at the time of writing (2008) she was a PhD candidate at the Royal Melbourne Institute for Technology (RMIT), Melbourne. Throughout her career Hamm has participated in workshops that challenge and develop her skills as an artist including Theo Tremblay's 1989 Print Workshop at Canberra School of Arts alongside the Melbourne based Indigenous artists, Ellen Jose and Karen Casey. Hamm was also involved in a weaving workshop in Melbourne 2002 that was facilitated by internationally acknowledged weaver Yvonne Koomatrie and local respected weavers “Aunty” Dot Peters and “Aunty” Pat Harrison. Hamm’s works, Brmah nurrtja biganga (Barmah Forest possum-skin cloak) 2005, Yakapna yenbena dunguja bigagga (Family ancestor strong flight possum cloak) 2007 and a woven grass sculpture, Yabby, 2005 were included in Culture Warriors, the first National Indigenous Art Triennial at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra in 2007/2008. In the accompanying catalogue, Stephen Gilchrist (Aboriginal Curator, National Gallery of Victoria) writes of her weaving that, “Hamm’s whimsical woven Yabby, 2005 demonstrates her command of the coiled bundle technique of Indigenous weaving, and despite the exaggerated size of the crustacean, sensitive detailing is not sacrificed and the artist highlights its irresistible tactility.” Hamm has received a good deal of recognition of her work including winning the 1996 Australian Heritage Commissions’ National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Heritage Art Award for her work Remains To Be Seen. She was one of the City of Melbourne’s commissioned artists for the 2006 public art work, Birrarung Wilam (camp by the river of mist), with fellow artists Lee Darroch and Vicki Couzens, as part of the 'Birrarung Marr’ precinct on the eastern banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne. Hamm’s work is held in a number of international, national, state and university collections including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Museum of Australia, Koorie Heritage Trust, Print Council of Australia, National Museum of Ethnology in Japan, and Queensland University of Technology.

Biography
Simeon Nelson BA (The University of Sydney) FRSA is an artist and in 2006 was Senior Lecturer in Spatial Design and Sculpture in the School of Art and Design at the University of Hertfordshire, UK. His work is the embodiment of disparate artistic strands linked by the creative need to set up aesthetic or conceptual oppositions. It oscillates between opposing poles: small, intimate objects and larger installations; private studio practice and public artworks. These explorations, in a politicised sense, mirror what happens in the world at large: the recluse versus the activist. As Nelson says: Beauty for me is conditional and relative. It cannot exist without its close relation and opposite, repulsion. I love exploring ways in which these qualities can be fused into one experience (or object or installation), or can be set up as oppositional poles to be played within. Simeon Nelson has been commissioned for a number of large public projects in Sydney, such as the redesign of Chifley Square (1995-97); and, in association with Hassall Architects, design of the sculptural treatment for Luna Park and artwork for the M4 freeway noise-abatement wall. In 1997, Nelson represented Australia at the IX Triennale-India in Delhi. He was awarded the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in 2000 and, in 2003, was shortlisted for the Jerwood Sculpture Prize, London. Since 2001, Simeon Nelson has been based in London. New directions in his practice reflect critical engagement with a different society and set of relationships with the natural world. An exhibition of new sculpture, 'Mappa Mundi’, organised by University of Hertfordshire Galleries, toured the UK during 2005-06. Passages , a monograph on the artist’s work by Benjamin Genocchio, was published by UNSW Press, Sydney, in 2000. Writers: Murray-Cree, Laura Date written: 2006 Last updated: 2011

Biography
cartoonist, painter and cyclist, is a controversial world champion cyclist born in USA (aged 34 in 1998) who represented Australia in cycling in the 1990s despite retaining her US citizenship. Having completed 'graphic art courses’, she draws cartoons and caricatures signed “Lucy” of competitors and officials with whom she has clashed. She also paints in acrylics; one of her murals covers a wall at the Australian Institute of Sport, Adelaide. She was living in Perth in 1998 but may since have returned to America. An article by Lindy Joubert in Melbourne’s Sunday Herald-Sun , 25 October 1998, p.25, included examples, one of a sheep being chased by three kiwis on bikes and one a self-portrait lying on the ground bound, with a muscly young man with a whip standing on her.

Baghdad, Iraq
Biography
Mazin Ahmad, painter and abstract visual artist, was born in 1964 in Baghdad, Iraq. As early as five, Ahmad showed an interest in art. He recalls enjoying observing his older brother drawing, later trying to emulate the techniques on his own. His family, especially his father, encouraged his early artistic endeavours. Throughout his primary and high school years Ahmad was recognised by his teachers for his artistic talents. Following high school, Ahmad was accepted into the Baghdad Academy of Fine Arts and graduated in 1990. He then established his own studio in the heart of Baghdad creating a number of sculptures, paintings on canvas, and murals using a variety of mediums including sandstone, marble, ceramics and mosaics. In 2002 Ahmad, his wife and two daughters moved to Australia. After arriving in Sydney, Ahmad became an active member of a number of Sydney art societies. Some of these societies include the Liverpool and Fairfield Artists’ Association, Casula Powerhouse Art Centre Network, South West Artists, Auburn Artists Society and BAN (Blacktown Artist Network). Being involved in these organisations enabled Ahmad to familiarise himself with Sydney’s diverse cultural and art scenes. Ahmad’s work investigates what he sees as the intimate relationship that exists between people and the environment. Working from his South West Sydney base, Ahmad builds on his earlier academic training within the arts by using a contrast of organic and geometric forms within his paintings. By doing this the artist attempts to explore the ancient traditions of his new land and its intrinsic connection with humanity. Whilst Ahmad applies symbols from Iraqi artistic traditions to express meaning within his work, he also draws upon the rich historical meanings and stories found within Aboriginal art, especially those addressing continuous and cyclical themes. Ahmad feels that Aboriginal art effectively communicates the importance of humanity’s need for oneness with the land. He states that “As an artist, I attempt to place on canvas a rough texture of human life, illustrating not a smooth journey but rather one that [is] eventful, complete with activity. To describe these relationships, I have adopted symbols from ancient civilisations and traditions, as well as using hot colours associated [with the] land” (Artist’s website). Ahmad’s early works in Australia were primarily paintings using a mixture of oil and acrylic on canvas. Yet with interests in poetry, sculpture, installation, stage design and literature, Ahmad was soon creating installation and public art projects which involved a variety of design techniques. An example of this cross-disciplinary interest is Invisible Map (2009, installation) created in collaboration with a writer Nazrin Mahoutchi, where both artists used found objects, photography, digital media and painting. Ahmad’s work has featured in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Australia, Iraq, Jordan, United States, Austria, Sweden and Germany. In Sydney, Ahmad has exhibited in a number of galleries including Paddington Contemporary Fine Art Gallery, MLC Gallery, Fairfield Museum and Gallery, Blacktown and Campbelltown Art Centres, The Tap Gallery, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, Art Room Gallery, St George Museum of Hurstville and the Pokolbin Gallery in the Hunter Valley, all in New South Wales. His work is also held in a number of private international collections in the United States of America, Austria, Sweden, Germany, Dominican Republic and the Middle East. In Sydney, Ahmad’s work is in the permanent collections of Blacktown City Council and Auburn City Council. Ahmad’s major exhibition titled 'The Human Being, the Land and the Love’, was held in 2007 in the Fairfield Museum and Gallery and later shown at the Paddington Contemporary Art Gallery, Sydney. This exhibition was funded by the NSW Ministry for the Arts. The exhibition expressed Ahmad’s love for the land, both his birth land and his newly adopted Australia, each shaped by millennia of human habitation. The exhibition was a major breakthrough for the artist within the Sydney art scene. Ahmad’s work has been recognised both in Australia and internationally. In 2005 he was chosen as one of eighteen artists to represent Australia in the 'Fifth Annual International Biennial Contemporary Art Exhibition’ in Florence, Italy. The artist was awarded the first prize of the Blacktown Art Prize 2006 and Auburn Mayoral Art Award in August 2009 for his art contributions to the Auburn community. As well as continuing to create public and private works, Ahmad leads art workshops in Sydney local municipalities in an attempt to pass on his artistic knowledge and help develop skills for future generations. His aim is to establish an art school that caters especially to the needs of mentally disabled youths. In 2011 the artist and his family were living in Fairfield, Sydney New South Wales.

Sao Paulo, Brazil
Biography
Cida de Aragon was born in 1964 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She gained her first degree in architecture from the University of Sao Paulo in 1988, but after five years studying architecture, De Aragon found that she was more interested in “the visual aspect, graphics, and installation of arts using digital media”. However, De Aragon feels that her background in architecture is useful to her collaborative art work, such as her involvement with Back to the City, a Newcastle-based project that brings together artists, architects and landscape architects to create public instillations. In 1988 De Aragon moved to London and undertook casual art and design studies at three colleges: typography and graphic design at St. Martins School of Art and at Sir John Cass School of Art, London Guildhall University; and painting and engraving at the Camden Art Centre. During 1990-91, she worked as a graphic designer in a London-based practice, following which, she undertook a Master of Arts in Computing in Design Middlesex University, London (1992-93). During 1992-93, De Aragon received a CAPES Scholarship from the Brazilian Ministry of Education and was then registered as an Architect in Germany. Being more interested in graphics and installation of arts using digital media than in architecture, in 1994 she began working as a Graphic Designer and Media Artist in Berlin. Subsequently, she taught digital image design at the Film Academy of Baden-Wurttemberg in Ludwigsburg, Germany (1997-98). The experience of travelling and living in London and Berlin informs the intellectual materials of her work, as she says: “One of my works – an interactive computer installation – is made in 3 languages (Portuguese, my mother tongue, English, and German) and is auto-biographical; exposing the strong influences of the many cultures and places I’ve lived.” Throughout the years of 1993-2008 De Aragon exhibited individual and group work in Germany, Belgium and Australia. In 2003 De Aragon immigrated to Brisbane, Queensland, where she worked for three years before moving to Newcastle in New South Wales in 2006. De Aragon’s work is inspired by digital culture, music, language and media. Her work is focussed on the public sphere with a view to improving or changing an urban condition, even if only temporarily. She says:“I hope with my work I can contribute to the development of tolerant and diverse societies. I always say that being a Brazilian means, by default, having to carry a plurality of simultaneous identities inside me. I wish to explore this condition to the maximum and to reflect it in my work.” De Aragon lives and works in Newcastle with her husband, architect Steffen Lehmann.

Maryborough, Qld, Australia
Biography
Fiona Foley, printmaker, painter, sculptor and photographer was born in Maryborough, Queensland in 1964 and raised in nearby Hervey Bay. These towns and nearby Fraser Islander are all part of her traditional country. Foley grew up surrounded by the stories of her family, the Wondunna clan of the Badtjala people and was influenced by the book, The Legends of the Moonie Jarl (Jacaranda Press, Brisbane, 1964) that was written by her great uncle Wilf Reeves and illustrated by her great aunt, Olga Miller. In 1983 Foley graduated from East Sydney Technical College with a Certificate in Art. From 1984 to 1986 she studied for her Bachelor of Visual Arts at Sydney College of the Arts. In 1987 Foley completed her formal training with a Diploma of Education from the University of Sydney. Foley, along with nine other artists that included Michael Riley, Bronwyn Bancroft and Tracey Moffatt, was a founding member in 1987 of Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Cooperative in Sydney. Boomalli’s aim was to promote the work of Aboriginal artists who did not live in the remote areas of Australia or were supported through federally funded arts centres. Boomalli went on to become the launching pad for many now successful artists besides the founding members. Foley’s portfolio of etchings, paintings, photography and sculpture have afforded her significant recognition as a contemporary artist. Since winning the commission of the Historic Houses Trust of NSW in 1994 to work on the installation The Edge of Trees with Janet Laurence, situated outside the Museum of Sydney, Foley has become known as a successful public artist. She has since been the commissioned artist for other public art projects including, The Lie of the Land, 1997 at the Melbourne Museum and Witnessing to Silence at the Brisbane Magistrates Court in 2004. Her photographic, printing, painting and public art works often speak of the untold and hidden histories of Australia in terms of the colonial interaction with Aboriginal people. Witnessing to Silence informs its audience of Queensland’s documented history of Aboriginal massacres while Black Opium (2006, State Library of Queensland) speaks of Queensland’s 'Aboriginal Protection and Restriction of the Sale of Opium Act 1897’ in which the supply and sale of opium to Aboriginal people was stringently legislated against alongside the recommendations to establish Reserves in which Queensland Aboriginal people were forcibly removed to. Foley is one of Australia’s successful international artists whose work is often included in important group exhibitions such as “Global Feminism”, 2007 at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City, USA or solo shows such as “Strange Fruit”, 2006 at the October Gallery in London, England. It is not only Foley’s artwork that is in demand. Her thoughts on Australian history and politics are also being sought and in September 2007 Foley presented a keynote address at the 9th Biennial European Association for Studies of Australia at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Other speakers at this conference were Germaine Greer and Mark McKenna from the University of Sydney. Foley works from her home base of Brisbane, Queensland and continues to generate solo exhibitions based on historical, political and social issues of Australian life as well as continuing her career as a public artist.

Biography
Paul Andrew has been a practicing and exhibiting artist since 1984 in diverse media including painting, photography, media, super 8 filmmaking, video art, installation and artist-run culture. The subject keywords for his practice spanning three decades includes: Polyvalence, Queer Theory, Queer Activism, Gender Studies, Post-Colonial Studies, Homophobia, HIV/AIDS, Artist Collaboration, Artist-Run Culture, Self-Publishing, DIY, The Archival Impulse, Walking, Nature, Environmental Activism, Digital Analogues, Documentary. The archival impulse of his work stems largely from his discontent about the significant absence of queer arts and culture histories in Australia while making documentaries, community service announcements and video art in Sydney in 1990 at the height of the HIV AIDS pandemic. Since 1990 he has worked with neglected queer histories across various platforms and extended this archival impulse into other visual arts subjects and platforms. Based in Brisbane until 1989 before leaving Queensland during what he describes as “the oppressive Bjelke Peterson regime” he moved to Sydney for work as a curator at The Australian Centre For Photography. In Brisbane he was an active participant and co-ordinator of Artist-Run Culture in diverse Queensland-based artist-run spaces. These ARIs included That Space, That Annexe, Axis Art Projects, Bureau and Breathing Concrete. During this time his attention was on young people’s agency and he worked passionately as a curator, artist books maker, designer, arts writer, arts administrator, queer activist, filmmaker, community broadcaster, moral rights/infrastructural activist. His enthusiasm for collaboration and community contributions methodologies employed during this period has developed over time and remains a particularly useful model in today’s multiplatform/transmedia, open source, social media environment. In 2012 he began a social media group for researching and developing a public archive, oral history and artist interviews site dedicated to mapping the neglected histories of 1980-2000 Artist-Run Culture in Brisbane and Queensland.

Birth Place
Southern Cross, WA, Australia
Biography
Mitch Dunnett Jnr was a painter, printer and photographer and a descendant of the of Wirangu people of South Australia and the Noongar of Western Australia. He was born in 1964 at Southern Cross in the Western Goldfields of Western Australia and grew up in Ceduna in South Australia. In a telephone conversation with the author in March 2009, his father Mitch Dunnett Snr said that his son left Ceduna in the 1980s and moved to Adelaide to finish his high school studies. He studied for a while before finding himself running foul with the law, ending up in Adelaide Gaol. In 1988, whilst still an inmate he painted his seminal piece Take the Pressure Down which referenced the death in custody of fellow inmate Kingsley Dixon, a 19 year old Aboriginal man who was found dead in his cell at Adelaide Gaol in July 1987. The work was acquired by the South Australian Museum.In the 1988 exhibition, A Changing Relationship: Aboriginal Themes in Australian Art c. 1938 – 1988 , curators Catherine De Lorenzo and Dinah Dysart included a photograph taken by Polly Sumner of Dunnett titled, Mitch Dunnett, Adelaide Jail, 1987 after he witnessed the death of Dixon.In 1988, after release from prison Dunnett was given a residency at the Flinders University Art Museum. He also began working at Co-Media in Adelaide where he produced his offset lithographic posters, two of which, Survival in solidarity and Keeping our culture, telling our stories were acquired by the Art Gallery of South Australia.Dunnett was included in Queensland Art Gallery’s Balance 1990 exhibition with his work Death of the Tasmanian Devil 1988 . This synthetic polymer paint on canvas painting depicts the moon as an aggressor strangling the life out of a Tasmanian Devil. “The moon”, he says, in his artist statement in the accompanying catalogue is “symbolising the White settlers causing the extermination of the Tasmanian Aborigines. After all, the White men have now taken over the moon by landing on it.” When describing the animals depicted in this painting Dunnett says that working at Co-Media taught him to be “polite with animals” and to make them “look polite and kind and not violent”. The story of the 'Death of the Tasmanian Devil’ was a Dreaming story told to Dunnett by his father. In the story the moon and the devil fight spilling blood across the land. This blood becomes the ochres found around the West Coast of South Australia. Yellow ochre from the blood of the moon and red ochre from the blood of the devil. Dunnett worked with Kerry Giles who also had an association with Flinders University Art Museum (where Giles had two residencies). Together they staged a joint photographic exhibition Pages of History at the South Australian Museum in April 1993.In 1996 he enrolled at Tauondi Aboriginal Community College in Port Adelaide studying art under the tutelage of photographer, Nici Cumpston . This college began life in 1973 and was originally known as 'The Aboriginal Community College’. It has been located at many different premises but is now in Port Adelaide.His works are in the collections of the Art Gallery of South Australia, Flinders University Art Museum, and the South Australian Museum.Mitch Dunnett died in Adelaide in 1996 due to complications arising from renal failure.

Birth Place
Kellerberrin, WA, Australia
Biography
Nikki Carabetta was born in Kellerberrin, a small town east of Perth in Western Australia, in 1964. Carabetta’s great-grandfather on her father’s side was a Brinkin man from the Northern Territory who was removed with his sister to Western Australia as a child. He remained in Western Australia and ultimately married a Yammagi woman, and thus Carabetta identifies as both Yummagi and Brinkin, with ancestral country in both the Western Australian wheatbelt and the Darwin region of the Northern Territory. For the first seven years of her life, her family lived between a number of small towns in south-western Western Australia, moving according to where employment was available to Carabetta’s father, who worked as a shunter and then gang leader on the Commonwealth railways. However the family’s transient life was also due to her father’s quest to learn more about his heritage and to find his family. After spending time in Brisbane and Rockhampton in Queensland, Carabetta’s father traced his ancestry to the Brinkin people and the family moved to Darwin in 1974. Carabetta would go on to live between the Kullaluk community in Darwin and the cattle station town of Peppimenarti until she was eighteen. In her early adult years she lived in Brisbane, where she studied nursing; Perth, where she worked in the Aboriginal Unit at Murdoch University; and Sydney, where she studied Law at the University of Sydney, and worked for the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission and the Aboriginal Legal Service. In 1996 she moved to Adelaide. Carabetta’s art practice has been informed by a range of experiences. She began dot painting with elder relatives and community members while she was living in Peppimenarti and Darwin as a child. While living in Sydney in the 1980s her engagement with the urban Aboriginal political movement exposed her to forms of politically expressive Aboriginal art being produced there at the time. However it was only in 1998 that she began to paint regularly. Carabetta’s employment as an Aboriginal cultural awareness officer for Normandy Mining and education officer at the South Australian Museum was cut short when a cycling accident prevented her from working, and led to her discovery that she suffered from fibromyalgia. She took up painting as a form of diversional therapy, and after being encouraged to further her art education by friends and family, enrolled at Taoundi College in 2004. She went on to complete an Advanced Diploma in Visual and Applied Arts in 2007. Carabetta predominantly works with acrylic paint on canvas and wood, and she regards art as a means to maintain and share her culture. Stylistically she has been influenced by the Aboriginal artists that she has observed and been mentored by in the Kullaluk community and in Peppimenarti, as well as Op art which she encountered while studying at Taoundi College. Her works reflect upon her personal journey, Aboriginal identity, and political issues pertinent to Aboriginal people. They are inspired by childhood memories, her sense of attachment to different parts of Australia, and her sense of affiliation with the urban, rural and remote Aboriginal communities with which she has lived over the course of her life.Carabetta has participated in a range of exhibitions since she completed her study, including 'Tappa Tautta’ at the South Australian Museum (2006) and 'Towards Reconciliation’ at Gallery M (2008). She held a solo exhibition at the Elderton winery as part of the South Australian Living Artists Festival (2008) and exhibited her work alongside that of Robert Dodd in 'Coming Together’ at the Town Hall and Library of Norwood for Reconciliation Week, 2008. In 2007 she was awarded the inaugural Indigenous Artist Award at the Campbelltown Art Exhibition in Adelaide, and was commissioned to paint a fibreglass dolphin titled Yerlo Parri for The Port Festival 'Big Splash’ event, which was acquired by the Port Adelaide Information Centre. Carabetta regularly participates in the Art at the Hart Artists & Celtica Festival as a selling artist and also sells her work through the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute Shop. Besides continuing her art practice, she conducts workshops at the Living Kaurna Cultural Centre in Adelaide. Writers: Fisher, Laura Date written: 2011 Last updated: 2011

Biography
Born in North Sydney in 1964, Suzy Evans is a painter and business-woman. She is from the Kamilaroi people of Moree in north-west New South Wales and it is from this connection that she draws her artistic inspiration. Evans describes her works of acrylic paints on wood, paper and canvas as “colour abstract representations of cultural symbols” (2009 pers. comm.). Evans came to the visual arts relatively late in life when, in 2003, she enrolled in the Certificate in Aboriginal Arts and Cultural Practices at the Moree campus of the New England College of TAFE. She showed her work for the first time in 2004 in a TAFE end of year group show. After leaving TAFE, Evans work was shown in a group show of Indigenous students at the University of Technology in Sydney (2006); in 'Harmony – Sydney '07’ shown at Sydney Olympic Park and in Beijing, China (2007); and 'Harmony '08’ at Gallery M16 in Canberra (2008). She exhibited a series of totem poles during a group show at Moree Plains Art Gallery during its 20th anniversary celebrations (2009). Her work has been used by ANTAR (Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation) in brochures promotion Indigenous Health, and in 2007 she was commissioned by NITV (National Indigenous Television) to realise their creative brand. In 2008 her work Bengerang was shortlisted in the 25th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards held at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. In 2005 Evans set up a small business, 'modernmurri – new Aboriginal products’, that sells lino-cut printed greeting cards as well as a range of paper, fabric and wooden products. In 2009 she returned to live in Moree, which is in the heart of her traditional country. Evans has work in the permanent collection of the University of Technology, Sydney.

Biography
Garry Jones, painter, screen printer and sculptor was born at the Sydney Women’s Hospital in 1964 and raised in Green Valley in the western suburbs of Sydney. Some of his earliest experiences of racism were at school where he was constantly told that “his lot” were trouble and that he would “never make anything of himself”. These experiences led Jones to believe that he did not “fit in” with his environment and gave him an early understanding of racism within Australian society. Jones has always been creative and was known at school as “the artist”. His uncle, the well-known artist and cartoonist, Danny Eastwood, guided him from an early age but he did not begin seriously to create work until he was studying for his Bachelor of Science (Architecture) degree at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in the late 1980s. Jones’s work discusses identity, racism, abjection and alienation and it is “honesty and self-exploration and awareness building that motivates and guides my practice.” Jones was hung in the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory in 2000, that same year he won the Works on Paper section of the National Indigenous Heritage Art Award in Canberra with his work Thirroul 1. The judges of this award commented that it is “a highly accomplished charcoal drawing, evocative of length of time and ancestry. The metaphysical layers offer the possibility of intellectual and heartfelt engagement at many levels, yet the work itself is cool and restrained.” Jones’s artist statement for this award winning drawing states that “the work was produced as part of a series of charcoal drawings following the uncovering an Aboriginal burial site close to Thirroul Beach [NSW]. The work was an intuitive response to the coast over a series of nights and reflections on the process of archaeology in interpreting heritage.” His work was included in Wollongong City Gallery’s “Pallingjang (Saltwater) III” in 2002. In 2003 Jones was a recipient of a Fulbright Postgraduate Award that enabled him to travel to the University of New Mexico in the United States where he undertook research into contemporary Native American visual arts that will be explored in more detail in future studies. Jones currently lectures at the University of Wollongong in Creative Arts at the School of Visual Arts and in Aboriginal Studies at the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre. Having achieved more than his early school experiences predicted for him Jones states that highlights in his life include “learning to like and trust people and recognising that I can have moments of great inspiration and enjoy them, even if nothing materialises from them”.

Biography
Peter Sharp (b. 1964, Sydney) completed a Bachelor of Art Education at City Art Institute, Sydney (1987) before graduating with a Masters of Fine Art at the University of New South Wales, College of Fine Arts (1992). Influenced by annual journeys to the Australian desert, and life on Sydney’s coastal fringes, Peter Sharp’s bold abstractions in paint, print, charcoal and sculpture examine the microcosms and macrocosms of the natural environment with an economy of form, motif, line and gesture. Sharp’s work is a physical manifestation of the metaphysical, or what it is like to experience the immersive elements of nature and the environment. From the inky depths of the ocean and its inhabitants, which yielded subject matter for the exhibitions Whale (2004), Sounding (2005) and Close to the Bone (2006) at Liverpool Street Gallery; to the delicate patterns and ephemeral beauty of the spider’s web, seen in Spider (2007) and Web (2008) at Liverpool Street Gallery, Sharp’s work cohesively and seductively explores the sublime and transcendental qualities of nature. Influenced by an Indigenous approach to the landscape (nature is part of you, and you are part of nature), Sharp creates a sensory and immersive experience. His work aims to maintain a dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous abstract artists who explore the diversity of the Australian culture, landscape and nature: the desert, the bush and the ocean. From 1989-1999 Sharp held regular solo exhibitions at Coventry Gallery, Sydney. In 1996, he was awarded the Jacaranda Drawing Prize and in the following year was granted a residency at the Cite’ des Arts Internationale, Paris, where he collaborated with French printmakers to create a series of lithographs and etchings. In 1999, he was invited to exhibit at Kunstraum 34 in Stuttgart, Germany and in 2001, he participated in the award winning television documentary Two-Thirds Sky, which culminated in an exhibition of the same title held at the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Arts Centre. Sharp’s paintings have been exhibited in the Wynne Prize (1996, 2003); the Sulman Prize (1998, 2008); and the Dobell Prize for Drawing (2009, 2010) at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, as well as in numerous regional gallery exhibitions throughout Australia. In 2012, a survey exhibition, Will to Form, was exhibited at Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Arts Centre, which contained two decades of Sharp’s work. In conjunction with the survey exhibition, a hard cover, 120-page colour catalogue was published, titled Peter Sharp: Will to Form, which featured essays by Andrew Frost and Gillian Serisier. Sharp’s work is represented in public institutions and corporate collections, including the National Gallery of Australia, The Holmes à Court Collection, Artbank, The Macquarie Group Collection, Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery, New England Regional Art Museum, Grafton Regional Gallery and the University of Wollongong as well as private collections in Australia and overseas. Peter Sharp lives and works in Sydney. Writers: liverpoolstreetgallery Date written: 2013 Last updated: 2013

Biography
Jane Becker is a Sydney-based painter and sculptor. Jane was born in Sydney at the King George V Hospital, Camperdown in 1964, to German born Jewish parents, Peter Becker (b. 1927 Berlin), who was a highly successful businessman and Katherine Landecker (b.1935 Konigsburg, East Prussia), a medical practitioner. Jane began drawing and cartooning as a teenager and after graduating from North Sydney Girls’ High School in 1981, she studied Bachelor of Arts majoring in Visual Art at the City Art Institute, part of the Sydney College of Advanced Education (later known as the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales) graduating in 1984. She continued her studies at the College of Fine Arts, graduating in Bachelor of Education (Art) in 1986 and then completing a Graduate Diploma in Painting and Drawing in 1991. Her early work was characterised by an interest in small mixed media installation, in matchboxes, cigarboxes and small custom frames. An exhibition most indicative of her work of this period was her early solo exhibition in 1992 at the First Draft West Gallery, Annandale 'Land of the Giants’. During the early 1990s Jane began working as a workshop artist at Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. She worked on floats and scenic design for the Mardi Gras parade and parties. This period also saw her become more active in curating and promoting lesbian and queer art in Sydney. She was a member of steering and visual arts committees, curator, and exhibitor of the 'Word of Mouth’ II, III, IV, (1992- 1994) exhibitions and artist collective established by artist and community worker, Sue Reynolds, which was part of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Art Festival. She was also a founding committee member (1996-1997) of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Art Gallery 'Raw Nerve’, Erskineville. In 1997, Jane became the Workshop and Design Manager of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, and in 2001 became Art Director – a position she held for two years. The decade working at Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras had an impact on Jane’s work. Her work, which had been concerned with scale at the small level, now became large. Indicative of this transition is the work My Queer House , which was shown in its first iteration at the 1997 'Queer Crossing’ group exhibition at the Ivan Dougherty Gallery, Paddington curated by Craig Judd and Liz Ashburn. The original work was a small 30 × 20 × 25 cm installation. This work was later reconceived and remade on a much larger scale and exhibited in 2005 at 'Sculpture by the Sea’, Sydney where it was selected by Art Gallery of New South Wales director Edmund Capon for Art Gallery Society of New South Wales Prize. The first decade of new millennium saw Jane’s work continue in the direction of large public art, such as Future Totems (2007), commissioned by Art and About (City of Sydney Council) and exhibited at the forecourt of Customs House.

Biography
Estelle Asmodelle started painting as a small child and usually won the school art prizes, first exhibiting at the Berrima District Art Show at the age of 10. After leaving school Asmodelle started painting abstract pieces while studying towards a physics and maths degree at Wollongong University. During this period she started creating large canvas work, many paintings of which were displayed at public arts events. Asmodelle’s first solo exhibition was at Wollongong Regional Art Gallery (now called the Wollongong City Gallery) and it was entitled, ‘The 26 Cent Exhibition,‘ for people were required to pay 26 cents to enter, while each work cost a total of 26 cents to create. This eccentric show lead to many group shows in the region and also in Sydney at art departments within various universities, most notably at the Sydney University Art Department. During her varied career Asmodelle continued to paint and exhibit and large canvas work using synthetic polymer became her preferred method. In the early 90s she moved to Japan to live and work and soon afterwards exhibited at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum as part of the ‘UNESCO International Friendship Exhibition’ in 1991. This lead to commissions, usually from Japanese firms, for her work. During this period Asmodelle also started the ‘Tokyo Eki (train station) Exhibition,’ displaying and selling her work in Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and Tokyo train stations as a permanent exhibition, while contributing in group shows within Tokyo’s art galleries in Ginza, Shibuya and Ueno. In 2000 Asmodelle moved to Los Angeles and participated in numerous group shows and sold some larger canvas works. A few years later she returned to Sydney after living abroad for 9 years, and continued to exhibit in Los Angeles, in particular as a regular contributor at the Los Angeles Center For Digital Art (LACDA). From 2008 Asmodelle started showing her work in solo exhibitions in Sydney, most notably at the Global Gallery, Gigi Gallery and several others. She also ran solo exhibitions in regional towns in country NSW, from Berrima to Scone, especially at Artemis Gallery. During this period she started creating digital works in conjunction with her physical canvas works. From 2010 Asmodelle has continued to show and sell work though group exhibitions, including shows with the Redfern Artist Group, of which she is a member. Several abstract canvas works of Asmodelle’s reside in private collections in Japan and Australia. While the larger body of her canvas work has been sold to private individuals, some businesses in Japan and the US have also purchased her work. Her digital designs have been purchased by companies and businesses for online content since 2008, and many of these designs have been the subject of design awards within Australia, some receiving gold and silver medal placements within the web designer awards networks. In 2010 Asmodelle published her first art book, Transience, a collection of her canvas work created over a period of 20 years, which is thematically ordered. In 2014 a second book is planned, entitled, Aesthetic in Abstraction which is a retrospective of her digital works. Writers: belindalee duggim Date written: 2013 Last updated: 2013

Biography
Colin is a proud Kurnai man, the son of William (Jock) Hood and Margaret Hood (Bryant). The family lived on the Lake Tyers Mission before moving to Bruthen. Colin now resides in Bairnsdale. Colin, who was born in the bush at Lake Tyers in 1964 was taught wood burning, spear making, boomerang making and throwing by his father and his Pop Bryant (Keith). In the 1970s, Colin’s maternal grandfather made spears and boomerangs for a museum in Lakes Entrance while Colin’s father was well known in the area for his souvenir or tourist art. Colin continues the family tradition of artefact making. He is a competent wood burner and notes that wood burning was harder in the old days before wood burners. Colin recalls heating wire in the fire to adorn his art work and frequently burning his young hands. In more recent years, Colin has developed skills in painting and produced a range of carved and decorated timber snakes. His carved walking sticks are in constant demand. Colin is currently involved with an artefact making program where he works with a group of young men. He enjoys taking the group out into the bush to find appropriate wood for boomerangs, spears, clap sticks and other artefacts. When asked why he makes his art, Colin says “because I love it and enjoy it “ . He adds that he likes to show his children the culture and commented that his ten-year-old youngest son has just started wood burning “the same age I was when I started with my Dad “ .

Stuttgart, Germany
Biography
Steffen Lehmann, who works at the intersection of art and architecture, was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1963, the son of an artist and engineer. Upon leaving school he trained as an apprentice in a cabinet maker’s workshop and in 1983 held an internship at an architect’s office. That same year he enrolled in a design course at the Fachhochschule Trier and later at the University of Applied Sciences in Mainz, from which he was awarded a Diploma in 1988. During the 1980s he also took various master and special summer classes with leading architects in Salzburg, before completing his undergraduate architectural studies at the Architectural Association, School of Architecture, London (1988-90). Thereafter he worked for three years in Tokyo with Japanese architect Arata Isozaki (1990-92) whose ideas on global citizenship struck a sympathetic chord with Lehmann. When he returned to Germany, Lehmann lived in Berlin where he established his own architectural practice and the Space Laboratory for Architectural Research and Design (s_Lab). Whilst there, he read for his PhD at the Technical University, Berlin (1999-2003). In 2003 he arrived in Australia to take up a chair in architecture at Queensland University of Technology before moving to the Architectural Design School, University of Newcastle, New South Wales. As a practicing architect, public artist, curator and editor, Lehmann is also involved in international research initiatives concerning environmental sustainability and urban renewal. Lehmann’s ideas-based practice reflects a number of influences, one being the vibrant intellectual climate of post-Wall Berlin in the 1990s, which saw a 'positive clash’ emerge between communist and capitalist ideologies, with new synergies developing between people and public spaces. An exploration of the relationship between the citizenry and the city echoes in many of Lehmann’s projects. Travel has been another determining influence on the artist. His witnessing of diverse physical and natural environments of many cities has informed his interdisciplinary approach to public art. Finally, he has been inspired by the work of numerous artists, in particular Gordon Matta-Clark. Lehmann uses site-specific installations to provoke interactions between people and places. He has developed many such projects in collaboration with his wife, the media artist Cida de Aragon. Although much of their work has been temporary, the Brisbane installation, Resilience (2007-08), which commemorates the women’s suffrage movement in Australia, is a permanent work. Lehmann views his role as curator of interdisciplinary collaborations as the most effective means to generate dialogue between artists and architects about urban renewal. His Back to the City (2008) project examined ways in which artists and designers might suggest new possibilities for post-industrial cities such as the port city of Newcastle after the demise of its coal and steel industries. Lehmann’s fairly loose curatorial brief encouraged innovative collaborations around ideas of temporality and locality that would first of all inspire the participants and viewers, and then lead to a richer debate on urban renewal. For one month, parts of the city were energised by unexpected art works, many informed by local experts, and all aspiring to leave lasting impressions on a seemingly-altered city fabric. Lehmann believes shared memories can empower residents to contribute to debates on urban renewal. His ideas are further explored in his 2008 book Back to the City: Strategies for Informal Urban Interventions. In his teaching at Newcastle University, Lehmann has encouraged small scale cross-disciplinary studios between architecture, art and photo media. In 2008 he was appointed the UNESCO Chair in Sustainable Urban Development for Asia and the Pacific.

Biography
Trained as a painter, Dani Marti studied fine art in New York and Sydney, gaining a Master of Arts at the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, in 2000. In 2006 he was undertaking a Master of Fine Arts at Glasgow School of Art, Scotland. Marti’s artistic process is driven by the symbology of everyday industrial materials, craft practices, conceptualism and formalism. He creates dynamic woven constructions and sculptural installations that combine intellect and a sensual, Baroque minimalism. These works have a strong inflection of portraiture and resemble swatches of fabric that capture personalities, moods and intensities. As such, they recall the intimacy of fabric in contact with the body and represent not only states of feelings but also regimes of class and power and the idiosyncrasies that relate to the mental and emotional aspects of sexuality. Many of Marti’s woven constructions are abstract representations of friends or people whom he admires (for instance, Rover Thomas and St Francis of Assisi), and include synthetic fibres, rubber, barbed wire, copper wire and cotton thread. The patterns and textures of these works suggest individual identities similar to the coded signatures of DNA. His installations are characteristically immersive and large-scale, juxtaposing theoretical concerns and articulating the private and social perceptions surrounding the body. Since 1998, Marti has held over 19 solo exhibitions and was a finalist in the Helen Lempriere Sculpture Award (2001, 2002). In 2005, he was selected for the Beijing Biennale. Among his most recent woven commissions are Phillip and Katherine (European Monarchs) (2004), for the AMP Building, Circular Quay, Sydney, and Different Trains (2003) for Melbourne’s Crown Casino. In 2002-03, Marti worked with Dale Jones Evans Architects to conceptualise and design wind-wall installations for Docklands/Mirvac, Melbourne.

Birth Place
Innisfail, QLD, Australia
Biography
Mark Blackman, mixed media artist, sculptor and muralist, was born in 1963 in Innisfail, Queensland. Blackman is a descendent of the Batjala people of Fraser Island, North Queensland. Blackman recalls being unusually creative as a young child, often creating paintings and drawings for church activities and events when he was attending a Catholic school in Innisfail. He left school at 14 to enter the workforce, and after undertaking a carpentry apprenticeship in 1979 while living in Mackay, went on to work as a carpenter for 16 years. Seeking a change of direction, in 1986 he worked for the CYSS (Community Youth Support Scheme) at Innisfail, during which he was involved in art activities. This experience led him to pursue art more seriously. Blackman moved to Adelaide in 1991. He was motivated to make the move because of fond childhood memories of his family’s seasonal fruit-picking trips to the Riverland region of South Australia. His art practice gathered pace in the 1990s, when he began to participate in a number of public art projects. In 1994 he designed and facilitated the creation of a 3 by 6 metre billboard as part of Adelaide’s NAIDOC Week celebrations. Thematically, the mural design was a celebration of the International Year of the Family, and it featured silhouetted figures framed by a distinctive geometric netting effect which would become a motif of Blackman’s other work. The billboard is now located at the Warriappendi school in Marleston, where he was employed as a youth worker for a number of years. In 1997 he was commissioned by Adelaide City Council to design four public sculptures to be situated in the city centre. Numerous public art commissions followed in Adelaide and elsewhere in Australia, including two public sculptures for the Brisbane suburbs of Geebung and Mitchelton (the latter created in collaboration with artist Chetana Andary) made from bronze, stone, steel and timber, which were commissioned by Brisbane City Council in 1996. Other public works include Karra Kundo , a sculpture he created in 2001 that sits at the Holland street entrance of Linear park in Adelaide, To Lose, Leave and Find , a public art work created in 2002 for Holdfast Shores at Glenelg, and World of Knowledge, a public sculpture commissioned for the Mikkawomma Reserve in Port Adelaide in 2003. In 2006 Blackman was the lead artist in the creation of the River of Dreams Mural at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in North Adelaide. Blackman’s commitment to public art projects reflects an inclusive and democratic approach to art, and a desire to create work that engages with people who would not normally visit art galleries. Blackman has also regularly been commissioned to create designs for logos, promotional materials and theatre sets, and has been employed as a facilitator and consultant for numerous art projects, festivals and events. Blackman has also participated in a number of exhibitions. In 1998 he staged two solo shows, Converging Channels BC (before carp) and Sand Shadow Series, at the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute in Adelaide. A number of works for these shows consisted of tree bark, sand and acrylic paint on panels. These works expressed his concerns with Australian waterways, focusing on specific places such as the Coorong, Patawalonga River, and Mannum on the Murray River. The Sand Shadow Series was specifically concerned with Blackman’s connection to the Batjala people of Frazer Island. Group exhibitions have included the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Awards of 1994 and 1996, 16 Songs , which toured to several galleries in America between 1995 and 1997, and the 1995 Sorak Biennale in Korea, at which he was also an artist in residence at the Westin Chosun Hotel in Seoul, Korea. In 1998 he participated in Isintu: Ceremony, Identity and Community , which was shown at the Flinders Art Museum in Adelaide and then toured to the South African National Gallery in Cape Town in 1999, and the following year he exhibited work alongside Darryl Pfitzner Millika and David Pearce in 3SPACE – C21st Indigenous Explorers , a national touring exhibition initiated by the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute for the 2000 Telstra Adelaide Festival. Later exhibitions include Ngapartji Ngapartji which took place at Fringe Hub, Adelaide University during the Adelaide Fringe (2004) and Indigenuity , at Gallery M in Marion (2007. Alongside his art practice, Blackman has been involved in youth care and education for a number of years. He has qualifications in juvenile justice and protective care, was employed as a youth worker for the Department of Family and Community Services for several years, and has played a mentorship role with Indigenous students at a number of schools.

Biography
cartoonist, was born in Sydney on 11 June 1963, the youngest of three children. She has drawn all her life and made caricatures of her classmates at school. While completing her BA in Visual Communications at Sydney College of the Arts, she worked at David Jones and met Jenny Coopes as a customer, who agreed to look at her work. This led to a spot as temporary replacement at the Sydney Morning Herald and her first published cartoons in 1984. She went to Paris for three years in 1985, where she worked as an illustrator and studied. After returning to Sydney in 1987, she began illustrating children’s books and in 2002 had illustrated 17 of them, including her own Enzo the Wonderfish . Wilcox became resident cartoonist for the 'Stay in Touch’ back page in the Sydney Morning Herald from January 1989, following Reg Lynch and Matthew Martin (the latter again an occasional contributor in c.1993-97). Since 1993 she has been employed as the political cartoonist on the Age . Her small cartoons, and occasionally her large editorial cartoons, also appear regularly in its sister Fairfax publication, the Sydney Morning Herald . (Since late 1995 she has from time to time filled in for Alan Moir and provided the main cartoon on the Herald editorial page.) A member of the Australian Black and White Artists’ Club, Wilcox won Stanleys for Best Editorial/Political Cartoonist and Best Single Gag Artist in 1994 (see SMH 31 October 1994, 5). With Kerry Millard she was runner-up for the Single Gag Artist’s Stanley in 1996, won by Glen Le Lievre . Her cartoons, Keep my seat warm published SMH 3 January 1997, Try your luck , Conscience Vote [on euthanasia] and Downer’s Dilemma published Age 15 January 1997, SMH 9 June 1996 & SMH 27 June 1997 were exhibited in Bringing the House Down: 12 Months of Australian Political Humour (Canberra: National Museum of Australia/ Old Parliament House exhibition, 1997), cats 6, 30, 35, 59. She was runner-up to Bruce Petty in the 1998 Bringing the House Down for the best cartoon in the exhibition. In the 1999 show she had 4 cartoons hung and one of Howard, Beazley and Meg Lees building sandcastles used on the cover of the catalogue. She was presumably was also in the 2000 show, while her three originals shown in the 2001 Bringing the House Down were: Your street , Queue jumper (2 lifesavers watching drowning swimmer, with one saying: “Better leave 'em. Could be a queue jumper”, published Age 31 August 2001) and War and Peace (both illustrated NMA website). Several Wilcox cartoons were included in both 1999 b/w art exhibitions curated by Joan Kerr, Craig Judd and Jo Holder at S.H. Ervin Gallery and State Library of New South Wales. “The government will legislate that Australia was uninhabited./ We need that certainty” , published SMH 1 January 1997 (ML PXA 806/2), was in the 'Land’ section of the SLNSW exhibition; “I’m single and the child’s a bastard just like his father” (ML PXA 806/8), published SMH 1997, was in 'Women’; and Australian Police Joke (ML PXA 806/9), published SMH 14 October 1997, was in 'Crime’. Then one day, much to nearly everyone’s surprise, the High Court, by a majority of 4 to 3, ruled that politicians were, as it turned out, unconstitutional , published SMH 12 August 1997, was included in the SHE exhibition (ill. Kerr). 10 originals, including all the above, were purchased from the artist by the SLNSW in January 1999: see PICMAN. Wilcox spoke in a panel discussion on 'the great (neglected) tradition’ at SHE on 21 February 1999 with Joan Kerr and Patrick Cook . She was one of the 9 artists included in the Bunker Gallery’s women cartoonists’ exhibition in 2002-3. Her originals included Dag Pride March ('Men Who Wear Sandals With Socks’, 'Old Ladies With Shopping Trolleys’, 'Boys Without Attitude’, 'Women Who Dress For Comfort’, 'Stamp Collector’, 'Mugaccini Drinkers’, etc) and a gag about executive payouts (both ill. in catalogue).

Biography
Jane Cavanough is a landscape architect who designs site specific art in public places. Born in Sydney in 1963, Cavanough initially studied landscape architecture at the University of Canberra (1982-85) before commencing a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Sydney College of the Arts (SCA), University of Sydney (1991-93). When environmental public art emerged as an important idea in Australia in the early 1990s, Cavanough was well placed to combine her dual skills in landscape design and art. She later established Jane Cavanough Artlandish Art and Design (for public art commissions) in 1997 and Artlandish Incorporated (for community development projects) a decade later. After graduating in landscape architecture, Cavanough worked for Urban Landscape Planners and the Department of Public Works in Sydney, before spending two years in London and Manchester at the Groundwork Trust, a community-based landscape architecture practice. Whilst in Manchester she attended a conference on environmental sculpture and was inspired to become an artist. Thus she returned to Sydney in 1991 to study sculpture at SCA. In her first year as a visual art student she was the recipient of the 1991 SCA Jerome de Costa Award for outstanding work, and in 1992 she received the Art Gallery of New South Wales Basil and Muriel Hooper Scholarship for outstanding emerging artists. Also in 1992 Cavanough exhibited in the Blake Prize and in various artist-run galleries in Sydney and Melbourne. Whilst still an art student Cavanough was engaged as a landscape architect in the Arts Council of New South Wales (later renamed Regional Arts NSW) Creative Village projects in Jerilderie (1992) and Gloucester (1993), with artist Michael Kieghery and architect Rod Simpson. Creative Village was an approach to interdisciplinary, sustainable and community-informed rural town design developed by the Arts Council. For Cavanough it provided an opportunity to work in a cross-disciplinary (art/landscape architect/architect) team. Cavanough began working primarily as an artist in 1993. Shortly after graduating, she initiated and co-organised (with Gillian Smart and Frances Joseph) 'Artful Park 1’ and 'Artful Park 2’, in Centennial Park, Sydney, between 1994 and 1996. These were among the first environmental sculpture projects in Sydney. Her big break as an artist came in 1997 when she was commissioned to create sculpture for the Ponds Interpretation Trail as part of a larger landscape design project for the Centennial Park wetlands. The interpretive project consisted of five public artworks including four hardwood wings attached to pylons that spine like weather vanes, thirty steel and hardwood 'reeds’, eight mosaic seats, and seven sandstone plinths with relief carvings of local water birds. In 1998 the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects awarded Context Landscape Design and Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust the Project Award for Design: Rehabilitation and Infrastructure for their work on The Ponds Interpretation Trail. Cavanough works with a variety of materials including mosaics, sandstone, timber, forged steel, cast iron, laser cut sheet metal, ceramics, fibreglass and mist. This has led her to collaborate with a wide range of designers, artists and fabricators including: Cynthia Turner (mosaics), Marlie Kentish Barnes (stone), Ian Bartholomew (wood carving), Graham Bartholomew (steel work), Glenn Moon (blacksmith), Ian Jackson (playground design), and the firm Ross Engineering (steel fabrication). Cavanough has also worked with designers from established firms such as Hassell, Umbaco, Philips Marler, Context, and Pod Landscape Architecture. In 2003 Cavanough was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study the relationship between sculpture, community and landscape. This provided her with the opportunity to travel to the United Kingdom, France, The Netherlands and Germany to look at public art, sculpture parks, playgrounds, and garden festivals. According to her report, she learnt much about the interrelationships between successful art projects and funding models, project management models, new materials and new kinds of partnerships with artists and designers. In 2008 and 2009 Cavanough developed two memorial works: Mount Kembla Mine Memorial (2008) and the Australian Korean War Memorial (2008-09). The Mount Kembla Mine Memorial commemorates the 1902 disaster when ninety-six miners were killed in the largest peace-time land disaster in Australia. Designed in collaboration with Umbaco Landscape Architects and finished in 2008, the work consists of sandblasted basalt pavers, basalt dry stone walls around hand carved slate monoliths inscribed with poems by Conal Fitzpatrick. The Australian Korean War Memorial in Moore Park, designed in collaboration with Pod Landscape Architects in 2008, explores the significance of commemoration, regeneration and remembrance, using the circular form with yin-yang divisions seen in the Korean flag. The central serpentine pathway, carved with the names of countries comprising the United Nations forces, symbolises commemoration. This pathway, set within a field of cast bronze flowers based on the South Korean national flower, the Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus), symbolises regeneration. At the base of the vertical flower stems are cast concrete blades representing the mountainous and harsh Korean landscape, inscribed with significant battles fought by the United Nations forces. In August 2008 Cavanough completed Wind Vanes at Ryde Wharf Reserve, Sydney. Working with Graham Bartholomew, Cavanough used tallow wood, galvanised steel and copper to create this wind responsive work – three tapered poles, each topped with a carved rowing boat, referencing the marine history of the area. The poles arise out of a decorative mosaic paving with a marine theme developed by collaborating Indigenous artists, Adrina Khobane and Rebecca Jones. 2008 also saw Cavanough complete work for the Ryde Wharf Reserve Public Art Project and Wollongong Botanic Garden Equal access play garden. She continues to design site specific, interactive and public art.

Biography
Born in Sydney in 1963, Mathew Lynn is an artist best known for his portrait paintings. According to the artist, his mother misspelled 'Matthew’ with only one 't’ and so it has remained. At the age of eleven his family moved from Sydney’s Lower North Shore to Queenstown in New Zealand where his parents ran a ski lodge for four years. The family returned to Australia and Mathew completed his final two years of high school at Sydney Grammar School. Upon leaving school in 1981, Lynn began a Bachelor of Visual Communication at Sydney College of the Arts, but found it too restrictive for his artistic needs – the following year he enrolled in a Bachelor of Art at the same institution, but found it not restrictive enough. It was perhaps these experiences that led him to be largely a self-taught artist, eventually developing his own techniques for portraiture. A keen musician, Lynn played in bands for a few years after leaving school and travelled to Ghana in West Africa to learn the traditional drumming of the Dagomba people. On his return from Africa he took various jobs, including making some illustrations for the Sydney Morning Herald , which allowed him to return to his love of drawing and painting. However, it was not until the following year (1989) that he made a serious foray into the art world, when his portrait of artist and friend Albertina Vegas was accepted into the Archibald Prize exhibition. It would be another eight years before he was once again an Archibald finalist. In 1993 he was accepted into the Wynne Prize with a driftwood construction titled Humidity , inspired by his time living and beachcombing on the lower Central Coast of NSW. At around this time Lynn found work at an art shop as well as doing casual teaching and tutoring. He was Artist-in-Residence at Sydney Grammar School in 1994 and completed a Master of Art at the College of Fine Arts, UNSW in 1996. Lynn returned to the Archibald in 1997 with a portrait of television presenter Jeanne Ryckmans. The painting earned him the runner-up prize (the first time it was awarded) and won him the People’s Choice award. His portrait of Guan Wei for the 1998 Archibald gained Lynn another runner-up prize. Lynn’s paintings have featured regularly in the Archibald since 1997; his Heiress entry for the 2009 Archibald was a portrait of fellow artist Joan Ross, wearing her kangaroo fur dress.

Biography
Architect Douglas Blake, born in Wollongong in 1963, began drawing from an early age. His family moved to the Central Coast when Blake was four years old and in his teens Blake exhibited some early drawings in the Central Coast and Toukley Arts societies (1982-85). His interest in drawing and sketching led him into architectural drafting prior to completing a Bachelor of Arts (Architecture) and a Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Technology, Sydney, between 1995 and 2000. With business partner Derek Brooke, Blake established the architectural firm T.A.N.K (Thoughts. Analysis. Notions. Knowledge). Throughout his training Blake continued to draw and paint in oil, acrylic or mixed media. Whether depicting urban or rural landscapes, or portraits, Blake explores a broad array of ideas and modes of representation and covers a range of approaches from realism through to abstraction. Some paintings are clearly inspired by Jackson Pollock’s action painting; others by James Gleeson’s surrealist imagery. Blake even extends his abstraction to a series of self-portraits which attempt a fusion between art and architecture, the two having played an integral role within his life. At times, free forms and curves are juxtaposed with the linear, rigid and angular. His sometimes panoramic landscapes make use of realistic motifs even when referencing much broader issues, such as religion and world events. For Blake, this provides another dimension and sense of depth within works. An image of a cow in a golden pasture may at first glance appear to conform to a tradition of bucolic landscapes until one spots the miniscule cross in the background, transforming the piece into a reverie on distances between religions – the cow is sourced from the Islamic holy book, the Quran, whose second chapter is known as 'The Cow’ (Al-Baqarah) and deals with genesis and creation. Here Blake is commenting specifically on the currently strained relationship between Christianity and Islam, despite their monotheistic traditions sharing similar origins. Blake regards the initial experimental act of applying paint to canvas as akin to what he sees as a 'rawness’ and spareness, qualities that he admires in the elemental and paired back architecture of Tadao Ando, whose works he saw first hand in 2003. In 2008, Blake returned to art precedents for inspiration, in particular addressing a detail in the painting by Roman neo-classicist Vincenzo Camuccini (d. 1844) Mort de Cèsar (1793-1806, Capodimonte, Naples). This was inspired by an image which Blake came across online and is a departure from previous inspirations for his art. In 2005 Blake exhibited in the Mary Place Gallery exhibition 'In the sole of the architect’ with other artist/architects including Dale Jones-Evans, Steffan Lehmann and Julius Bokor.

Biography
Barkindji photographer, Nici Cumpston was born in Adelaide in August 1963. She spent her childhood growing up in Broken Hill (NSW), Alice Springs and Darwin (NT) and in the province of Manitoba in central Canada, returning to live in South Australia in 1979. Her family background is Aboriginal, Afghan, English and Irish. In a lecture given in 2002 at The Kluge Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of the University of Virginia (USA), Alison Holland stated that it was important for Cumpston that people know about this mixed cultural background “in order to set the scene, as she is intent on showing the diversity amongst all. Nicole says, 'I don’t particularly look like any of these nationalities and I want people to know how different we all are.’”Cumpston’s artistic career began when she enrolled in a Diploma of Applied and Visual Art with the North Adelaide School of Art in 1987 (graduating in 1989) and held her first exhibition, 'Doubts’, at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 1988. It was at the art school that Cumpston was taught the technique of hand colouring photographs with transparent oil paints by Kate Breakey who was employed to present a photographic workshop to the students. This is the style of photography that Cumpston would gain recognition for later in her career.For the next eight years Cumpston worked in Photographics for the South Australian Police Department where she processed the slide film used in the new speed and red light cameras that were being introduced across South Australia. She also processed and printed crime scene, accident investigation and forensic autopsy films. This work taught Cumpston to be proficient with colour film processing and printing and the importance of daily equipment maintenance and testing procedures. It also provided her with an understanding of colour printing methods including how to read a print to enable accurate colour correction. In correspondence with the author, Cumpston has said that she is “not sure if it is through seeing the process of documenting crime scenes that I have developed a way of documenting the landscape looking for evidence of past Aboriginal occupation. I feel like I am an investigator when I go out into the bush as I am always photographing everything I see, like I am gathering evidence.”During her time with the South Australian Police Department Cumpston completed her Advanced Diploma of Applied and Visual Art, again at the North Adelaide School of Art (1992-1994) where she furthered her studies in photography and took courses in ceramics and textiles. Upon leaving the Police Department in 1996 Cumpston began lecturing in photography at the Tauondi Aboriginal Community College in Port Adelaide, South Australia – a position she held until 2006. From 1998 to 2004, while working at the College, Cumpston undertook and completed her Bachelor of Visual Art and her Honours degree at the University of South Australia, majoring in photography, where she learnt to experiment with many different photographic techniques including working with a variety of films and papers including digital and infra-red film. Her exhibiting career did not rest during these work and study years. In 1998 Cumpston participated in her first major exhibition, ’3 Views of Kaurna Territory Now’ (curated by Vivonne Thwaites) with fellow photographers Darren Siwes and Agnes Love at the Adelaide Festival Centre.In 1999, when Cumpston was in the second year of her Bachelor degree, her mother passed away. Though struggling with grief, Cumpston continued with her studies. Later that same year she was commissioned by the State Library of South Australia to work in collaboration with Adelaide based photographer Andrew Dunbar. Cumpston and Dunbar’s brief for the State Library was to create a series of portraits of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, which was the launch exhibition of the 2000 Adelaide Festival of Arts. This exhibition, titled 'Nakkondi/Look – Indigenous Australians 1999-2000’, was then invited to tour to Noumea in October 2000 for the 8th Festival of Pacific Arts. In her Kluge Ruhe lecture, Alison Holland described the images taken by Cumpston and Dunbar as “a snapshot of 'real’ lives of indigenous Australians across the spectrum of experience” and said that both the photographers “approached the project with 'open eyes’ and invite their audience to do likewise: to look and see Aboriginal people as they really are, not as they may be conventionally portrayed.” Again, in correspondence with the author, Cumpston stated that working with Dunbar provided a great opportunity for her as he set a very high standard and she had to “work hard and learnt quickly how to create images that pleased everyone involved.”Cumpston was commissioned again in 2000, this time by the Centenary of Federation to work on another collaboration titled Weaving the Murray. Seven Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists were commissioned to literally weave the social and cultural histories of the Murray River. Initially brought into this project as a documentary photographer, Cumpston ended up becoming involved in the weaving practices of the other participants and helped with the creation of the giant woven Murray Cod, Ponde. Whilst working on this project Cumpston learnt that her family was not only connected with the Darling River but also the Murray. Creating more images than was required by the commissioning agents, Cumpston utilised the extra photographs to stage her first solo exhibition, 'Reflections’, at Tandanya in 2002. At the same time as preparing for 'Reflections’, Cumpston was chosen to work as the assistant to her old mentor and now friend, Kate Breakey, who was on a trip home from the United States participating in the Returning Artists Residency, a South Australian School of Art, (University of South Australia) initiated project. Breakey in turn worked with Cumpston on producing the photographs for the “Reflections” exhibition and encouraged her to hand colour the work, a series of mural sized images of the Murray River.After her father’s passing in 2005, Cumpston took time away from work and travelled to Breakey’s home in Tucson, Arizona, (USA) to grieve. During this six-week trip Cumpston worked with Breakey as her studio assistant on Breakey’s forthcoming exhibitions. Upon her return to Australia Cumpston took up a four-week arts residency at the Bundanon Trust on the south coast of New South Wales. Following this residency she began a large commission of pencil and water-coloured hand painted photographs for the Commonwealth Law Court building in Adelaide. During this commission Cumpston had to change her technique of printing as the rolls of photographic paper she always worked with were no longer in production. For this commission she created the images on film. Negatives from the processed film were scanned and printed onto canvas. This new technique came about after experimenting with different papers resembling the type she was accustomed to working with that would allow her to continue using transparent oil paints. Not finding any that satisfied her, she moved to canvas, substituting transparent watercolour for oil paint when she found that oils rubbed the photographic image from the new surface. The end result of this work was installed in foyer of the building along a 12 metre and a 5 metre wall. The works titled Eckerts Creek, Murray River National Park and Flooded Gum, Katarapko Creek are large panormaic images of the waterways and trees of the Murray River. In correspondence with the author, Cumpston has said of this body of work that she hoped that people would “feel as though they are in the country even though they are within a building in the city.”Cumpston began to be nationally noticed as an artistic photographer when she was invited to submit work for consideration for the 2006 Xstrata Coal Emerging Indigenous Art Award at the Queensland Art Gallery which led to her first Sydney solo exhibition at Cooee Aboriginal Art Gallery later that year. In 2007 Cumpston entered the River Murray Art Prize, for which she won the People’s Choice Award. That same year Judith Ryan included her in the Heide Museum of Modern Art exhibition, “Power and Beauty: Indigenous Art Now” from November 2007 to March 2008. Her work sat alongside the works of Fiona Foley, Lin Onus, Gordon Hookey, Vernon Ah Kee, Richard Bell, and Julie Gough, Ray Thomas, Ellen Jose, Philip Gudthaykudthay, Samantha Hobson, Ricardo Idagi, Ellen José, Ricky Maynard, Clinton Nain, Wingu Tingima, Gulumbu Yunupingu and twenty artists from the Kayili Artists and the Warakuna Artists groups, both of the Gibson Desert, Western Australia, including Coiley Campbell Tjakamarra, Dorothy Ward Nangala, Eunice Yunurupa Porter Panaka and Molly Malungka Yates Tjarurru.From 2006 to 2008 Cumpston worked at the University of South Australia where she wrote and delivered a new compulsory course, 'Indigenous Arts, Culture and Design’ for the undergraduate visual art and design students. In 2007 Cumpston, with Nerina Dunt, co-curated 'Indigenous Responses to Colonialism: Another Story’ at Artspace, Adelaide Festival Centre (her first professional curatorial experience). In that same year she worked alongside Julie Gough as the Project Manager for Gough’s South Australian School of Art residency.In 2008 Cumpston began working full time as an assistant curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia, the gallery’s first Indigenous identified curatorial position. Marita Smith’s Gallerysmith also began representing her in Melbourne, this was the first commercial gallery to represent the artist.

Biography
Philip Wolfhagen is, quintessentially, a painter of the Australian landscape, one whose work has been exclusively absorbed into his private obsession with Tasmania, the terrain of his personal origins. His work is physical, dense in its application, sombre in mood and tonality, the result of a deeply experienced, enduring engagement with an ancient, yet eternally living subject. While Philip Wolfhagen’s work only came to the attention of Australian critics and collectors in the early 1990s, he is already regarded as one of Australia’s most outstanding landscape painters. His work was represented in the Moët and Chandon Touring Exhibition (1996-97); Australian Perspecta: 'Between Art and Nature’ (1997); 'The Artist’s Garden’, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra (1995); and 'Windows on Australia 1’, Australian Embassy, Tokyo (1995). His monumental, six-panel painting, Archipelago , 2003, the result of working 'en plein air’ for 12 days on Deal Island in Bass Strait, won critical and popular acclaim. Philip Wolfhagen’s 2004 solo exhibition, 'The Inner Edge’, shown at Sherman Galleries, Sydney, and the Academy Gallery, School of Visual and Performing Arts, University of Tasmania, Launceston, included his most abstracted landscape paintings to date. Writing in the catalogue, art critic Peter Timms said: It is, I think, the real daring of Philip Wolfhagen’s atmospheric essays on the agricultural northern Midlands area, where he lives, that they complicate our emotional and intellectual responses to pastoralism, cutting through the rhetoric of both environmentalists and farmers, while cheerfully snubbing the snow-capped-mountain clichés of the tourist industry . These are paintings not only about the love of nature but the nature of love. Philip Wolfhagen’s work is held in major public and corporate collections in Australia and in private collections nationally and internationally.

Summary
Winner of the 2007 Wynne Prize, Philip Wolfhagen is a contemporary landscape painter whose critically acclaimed works explore his relationship to, and engagement with, the natural surroundings of Tasmania, where he has born and still living in 2008.

Portsmouth, England
Biography
illustrator and cartoonist, was born on 3 July 1962 at Portsmouth, UK. She studied at the University of Western Sydney in 1990-93 and was awarded a BA in Graphic Design, with a major in illustration. She won first prize in the University Christmas Card and Poster Competitions in 1993 and came second in the University Advertising Poster Competition the same year. While a student, she worked at the Chris Cross Art advertising agency. Her first published cartoons appeared in Burn , a gay and lesbian magazine, in March 1993. The series included her colour cartoon 'Fortunately Brenda also had a problem with decision making’, later (1999) published on the Internet. It depicts a woman seated at her kitchen table contemplating a razorblade, knife, pills and pistol laid out in front of her. A noose hangs from the wall and the oven door is open. Bray-Cotton’s treatment of her subject is decidedly good-humoured, although with something of the sardonic tone of Dorothy Parker’s poem, 'Résumé’, published in the author’s first collection Enough Rope , 1927: 'Razors pain you;/ Rivers are damp;/ Acid stains you;/ And drugs cause cramp./ Guns aren’t lawful;/ Nooses give;/ Gas smells awful;/ You might as well live.’ (Also an accidental but interesting parallel with the Bulletin cartoonist Jean Cullen, who suicided by putting her head in a gas oven.) Examples of Bray-Cotton’s black and white work include: Fuck the good ship lollypop (curly-haired moppet [Shirley Temple] wearing leather straps across her bare breasts, fishnet stockings and holding a whip); Annie had a liking for domesticity (seated, naked woman, shown from the neck down, with clothes pegs on her nipples, an extension cord tying her to the chair and a rolling pin between her legs); and Marlene wondered if it was inappropriate to excuse herself for breathing (big, awkward-looking girl). Her work has been reproduced in the Star Observer , Cosmopolitan , Cleo , House & Garden , Campaign (magazine), Sponge (magazine), DIY Feminism (?), Capital Q (newspaper), and the Good Weekend magazine in the Sydney Morning Herald . She has been designing postcards for the Ink Group since 1992. Bray-Cotton illustrated the Travel Box guidebook in 1997 and collaborated with Avantcard and astrologers Bernadette Brady and Darrelyn Gunzburg to produce a series of free postcards profiling the twelve signs of the zodiac. Her three solo exhibitions include one of illustrations at Hester Gallery, Sydney, in 1996. In response to Joan Kerr’s 1999 black and white artists survey Bray-Cotton explained that she draws cartoons as a 'RELEASE OF ANGST USUALLY’ and bemoaned the fact that 'MOST PEOPLE LAUGH BUT WON’T PUBLISH’. In her letter to Kerr she stated 'The magazine [ Burn ] is old and I grabbed the easiest cartoons to send you, being photocopies of some of my stuff… I have 'blocks of cartoons’ through different periods of time so the tone is quite varied.’ Writers: Kerr, Joan Date written: 1996 Last updated: 2007

Rafael Butron’s work focuses on landscape and the simplification of imagery towards a child-like form of representation. Part of the Sydney Printmakers Society, Butron has also worked at the College of Fine Arts (COFA), University of New South Wales (UNSW), as a printmaking technical officer. A well-established artist, he has exhibited around Australia and internationally in locales such as New York and Bangkok; he has exhibited in group exhibitions as well as many solo exhibitions. Born in Manilla, The Philippines, in 1962, Butron escaped the political upheaval at the time and moved with his family to Australia at the age of ten, settling at Randwick in Sydney. After leaving school he took courses in painting and printmaking at Seaforth TAFE in Sydney’s northern beaches from 1982-84. In 1988 Butron graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the City Art Institute (now COFA). He decided to undertake a Diploma of Education at the University of Sydney in 1992 so he could teach at secondary schools. However, while working as a casual teacher he was offered a job at COFA as a technical assistant and soon assumed the role of Technical Assistant Officer in 1993. Whilst teaching at COFA, he enrolled in a Master of Art under Idris Murphy and completed his formal studies in 1997. Butron’s oeuvre began with relatively detailed and realistic works, but has gradually become simpler, reflecting his intent to evoke simplicity through what he calls “monochromatic shapes” (pers. comm.) that serve as basic descriptions of the subject matter, much as a child might see the world. He has said of his art, “I hope that my works could one day be so simple that they will be non-eventful, to the point where the subject matter is unrecognisable” (pers. comm.). In his studies of the landscape around Sydney, Butron has pared back images to the absolute minimum, relying on memory, and the emotional attachment to that memory, in order to manipulate the image. Since 1990, the artist has divided his works into four categories that embrace the figurative, the land, the water, and cricket and to each of these categories he has assigned a quote. His figurative paintings deal with recurring memory where the figure is a symbolic representation of the artist’s own presence in the landscape. Butron has considered these works as reflecting Henri Bergson’s observation, “Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed”. In the Land series, Butron has employed simplified form and colour to record places that elicit an emotional response, again citing Bergson: “There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation”. Similarly, in the Water series, Butron has used pared-down colour and form to suggest water and place as they are dwelt on within the psyche, drawing from Bergson’s expression, “The present contains nothing more than the past and what is found in the effect was really in the cause” Finally, in the Cricket series he has attempted to capture the light in which the game is played as well as his love of the sport, referencing the 3rd Duke of Dorset’s well-known phrase, “What is human life, but a game of cricket?” Butron has regularly contributed to group exhibitions in Sydney from the 1980s and has exhibited works in the Bangkok Triennale International Print and Drawing Exhibition in Thailand (2008); the Sydney Printmakers exhibition, Atelier Skåra, Gressvik, Norway (2003); and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chile (1999). His work is held in various private collections and public institutions, including the Australian National Gallery, Canberra; COFA at UNSW; The Cricketers Association of New South Wales; the University of Western Sydney; and Silpakorn University in Bangkok. His main exhibitions have been held in Wilson Street Gallery, Newtown, and with the Sydney Printmakers annual exhibition since 1998. Butron has been published in Imprint magazine (spring 2008), The Multicultural Art Alliance , The Big Event newsletter and catalogue and The Newtonian (2010). He has worked with colleague and master printmaker Michael Kempson in Cicada Press, and has also worked in a highly collaborative way with other artists, including his mentor, Idris Murphy. Butron’s minimalist aesthetic is in stark contrast to the more figurative and detailed work of his wife, printmaker Anne Starling, but the two have shared exhibition spaces, while residing in the Sydney suburb of Turramurra with their two children.

Biography
Sandra Higgs was born in Coen, in the Cape York region of Queensland, in 1962. A Kantju artist, Higgs learnt weaving techniques from her grandmother. Her weaving practice has been informed by a long period of residence at Nira Nina Bush Place, Spring Beach and Cape Barren Island in Tasmania. During this time she participated in the exhibition 'Crossing the Strait: Tasmania to the South Coast’, which was held at the Wollongong City Gallery in 1999. Higgs has created woven baskets, bags and fish traps using water reed grass, flax, cordyline, jute, dodda vine (snotty wood), rafia, pine needles, feathers and cotton string. As she is quoted as saying in the 'Crossing the Strait’ catalogue, “Aboriginal fibre artists and their craft are essential to provide the link between past cultural practices and present cultural artistic expressions.” (p. 38). Her work is in the collection of the Australian National Maritime Museum. Writers: Fisher, Laura Date written: 2008 Last updated: 2011

Biography
Born on 1 August 1962 at Watiyakurlangu, south of Yuendumu, Rebecca was a Warlpiri/English speaker and grew up at Yuendumu. Her Dreamings were Sandflies (Pama), Ngapa (Water), Warlukurlangu (Fire), Watiya Kurlangu (Mulga Tree) and Yankirri (Emu). She moved to Adelaide in 1986 and began painting in 1987, driven by homesickness for the country she had left behind. She sent messages to her family to find out her Dreamings so she could paint them and ease the pain of separation. She painted from her childhood memories of the women painting their bodies and dancing boards for ceremonies. She sold her work through galleries in Adelaide. She also visited schools in Adelaide showing her paintings and talking about her Dreamings. In 1991 she returned to Yuendumu to obtain the approval of senior Nampijinpas/family members at Yuendumu for her paintings. She subsequently won the Kings Canyon Frontier Lodge NT Art Competition and was resident artist at the Corkwood Gallery. Writers: Johnson, Vivien Date written: 1994 Last updated: 2011

Biography
Dennis Nelson was born in Alice Springs in 1962. He is the son of Johnny Warangkula Tjupurrula, one of the founders of the desert painting movement, and his second wife Gladys (Yawitji) Napanangka, who was among the first group of women at Papunya in the early 1980s to paint for Papunya Tula Artists. Dennis identifies with his mother’s Warlpiri language group rather than Johnny’s (Pintupi). Gladys had four children from her previous marriage, and Johnny had two daughters Narlie and Maggie from his. Together Gladys and Johnny had six more children: Dennis, Mike, and four daughters, Candy, Minnie, Emma and another who passed away. Dennis attended school in Papunya and remembers going “after school or smoko time” to the Old Town Hall building alongside the school classrooms to watch the painters at work. He says his father taught him to paint: “Use brush – cut 'im – he learn me. When I’m a little boy he sat me down in the gallery”. Dennis’ paintings are strongly reminiscent of his famous father’s early works: “I carry on his style. I know.” Johnny also taught him his stories: the Kalipinypa Water Dreaming with “lots of birds playing round after the rain”; the “Death Spirit [that] comes from under ground in the middle of the desert” and Tjikari where the “Men Dreaming [are] still there now”. Dennis said his father took him and his brothers and sisters to these places – to Kalipinypa via the shortcut through Nyirripi and to Tjikari in the middle of the desert. In the school holidays Johnny’s family went hunting for bush tucker, goanna and kangaroo and later “we used to drive round everywhere – Mt Liebig, Kintore, Kiwirrkura – everywhere.” For ten years Dennis worked in the Papunya School and occasionally painted for Papunya Tula Artists in the early 1990s, then for Warumpi Arts before its closure in 2004. He now paints for the Papunya Tjupi Art Centre in Papunya. He lives with his wife Rachel Napaltjarri at Five Mile Outstation. Writers: Papunya Tjupi Arts Date written: 2009 Last updated: 2011

Birth Place
Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia
Biography
painter, printmaker, sculptor and teacher, was born at Coffs Harbour, NSW, on 3 June 1962; 1982-86 Diploma of Art (Printmaking) Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga NSW. In May 1990 Franklin met five Tiwi women artists who were completing a month’s residency at their first printmaking workshop at Studio One in Canberra, where Franklin had worked for several years as a printmaker, illustrator and community artist. None had previously worked with linocuts or lithography, although most had experimented with screenprints and some etching, so she was invited to spend three years with Munupi Arts on Melville Island as Arts Co ordinator at Yikikini to teach printmaking skills to the community. Between 1987 and 1997 Franklin held seven solo exhibitions, mainly with Shade of Ochre Gallery, Darwin, and aGOG, Canberra. Her work has been included in numerous group shows, including the Queanbeyan City Art Award (First Prize 1987), the Mornington Peninsula Print Prize (1988, 1990) and the Fremantle Print Prize (1990); two travelling exhibitions with Tiwi women artists from Melville Island, Munupi Dreaming in 1991 and Ngingingawula Murrakapuni, Ngingingawula Jilamarra in 1992; the 1995 Asialink touring exhibition to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong, Changing Places: Cross Cultural Art from Australia , and the National Women’s Art Exhibition Bias Binding: Women’s Art Register 1975-95 at the National Gallery of Victoria, both in 1995. Our endangered species 1990, colour screenprint, was included in Earthly Delights: a group exhibition about the environment at aGOG from 18 August to 6 September 1990. From July 1996 until c.2000 Franklin lived on a block 120 km south of Darwin in the remnants of prehistoric forest, which she was helping restore. Her exhibition Continuum (aGOG March-April 1997), inspired by Dr Jean Liedloff’s book The Continuum Concept (USA, 1977), consisted brightly-coloured paintings and tiny black-and-white etchings printed by Chris Denton at Studio One, Canberra, including a self-portrait as 'The Sculptor’ (JK copy) working on the third component of the exhibition, a large luxuriant multi-media installation (mainly lush red triffid-like objects with hands reaching out for jewels), The Yearning . Early in 2001 she had a sell-out exhibition of small jewel-like rather Moorish looking paintings at Helen Maxwell Gallery. IMAGE: Yikikini 1991, woodcut (ill. Imprint 27/3, spring 1992, cover), depicts Aboriginal women in the Yikikini Women’s Centre at Pularumpi working at printmaking with their white female teacher, i.e. Franklin. She described the women’s centre as 'a long windowless tin shed which retains the intense heat of the tropical sun, cooled only by three of the six ceiling fans that still work.’ Her teaching influenced various artists, including Fatima Kantilla (see ATSI biographies). Most, however, work with rich colour and decoration, as does Franklin herself in her paintings, screenprints and sculpture. Writers: Staff Writer Date written: 1996 Last updated: 2007

Summary
Not only known for her promotion of the arts, Annie Franklin spent four years living in what remained of a prehistoric forest south of Darwin while she helped with efforts to regenerate it.

Nambucca Heads, NSW, Australia
Biography
Kevin Butler, painter, was born on the 14th May, 1962 at Nambucca Heads, NSW. As a child, Butler was always drawing but did not begin to paint until 1988. A member of the Stolen Generations, Butler found that painting was his way of getting in touch with his Aboriginal heritage. Removed from his birth mother at the age of two weeks and then raised by a non-Aboriginal family in Sydney, at the age of 16 he left home and moved to Menangle, a rural community on the outskirts of Sydney. Butler stayed in Menangle for five years before returning to Sydney to seek employment. He worked for Telstra for a short time and it was whilst working for Telstra that he began painting. In 1990 Butler moved to Wollongong and began his career as an artist and his first exhibition was later that same year, when he participated in a group show, 'Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow’ at the Sydney Opera House. Between 1990 and 2007 Butler participated in 25 group exhibitions including the 2006 Parliament of NSW Indigenous Art Prize, in which he was a finalist. It was from the exhibition “Unjustified” at the Project Centre for Contemporary Art in Wollongong in 1995 that Butler sold his first work to an art institution, when Wollongong City Gallery purchased Assimilation. This work shows a grey maze with dead-ends of drugs, abuse and alcoholism among other disparate topics. A small figure attempts to find his way through the maze to the welcoming arms of home and mother that are painted above the maze in bright and happy colours. Assimilation was Butler’s comment on being one of the Stolen Children and Butler gave Lorena Allam, the Media Officer for the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission’s 'National Inquiry into the Forced Removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from their Families’ permission to use the Assimilation image as the Inquiry’s poster. The Australian Museum, also impressed by the work, created a three-dimensional walk through version of it for the 'Indigenous Australians’ exhibition in 1997. In 1996 Butler was granted 'Artist In Residency’ at Wollongong City Art Gallery. The Gallery gave him 24 hour access to a studio within its building and a solo show at the end of the year. This exhibition, ’50,208 From Dreams to Screams’ is Butler’s only solo exhibition (as at 2007) and the exhibition featured works that commented on the Stolen Generations and environmental and political concerns that affected Aboriginal people at that time. Butler’s commitment to his community is very strong. Between 1993 and 2007 he produced 27 murals at local libraries, primary schools including five for Bass Hill Primary School and one for the Wollongong Youth Centre in December 1993, where he worked alongside children of the delegates from the 1993 World Indigenous Peoples Conference: Education. In 1996 he painted the hood of a car that was used in the Variety Club of Australia’s 'Bondi to Batchelor Bash’ car rally and in 1997 he donated a painting for the Cancer Foundation of NSW to auction. Butler has received many art awards and awards in recognition to his services to his community including winning the 1993 Mil-Pra AECG 'Dream for the Future, Working in Unity’ art competition and the 1994 Illawarra Sexual Health Unit’s 'Aids and the Koori Family’ art competition. In 2004 he was the recipient of Wollongong City Council’s NAIDOC Award presented for recognition of his contribution to public arts within the local government area. In 2007 Butler was still working in the area of community arts and group shows and says that “like many other indigenous artists, the work that I produce comes from the heart. My artworks contain personal issues such as the Stolen Generations and are created with a lot of my own emotions that I transfer onto canvas.” Writers: Allas, Tess Note: Date written: 2007 Last updated: 2011 Status: peer-reviewed

Summary
Butler is a self-taught painter, muralist and community artist. His highly coloured paintings of synthetic polymer on canvas discuss personal issues relating to his experiences as a member of the Stolen Generations.

Biography
Abstract Expressionist painter David Kirk was born in Sydney in 1962. He was first drawn to painting while studying art at Sydney Boys’ High School, and his first notable artworks date from the late 1970s. After leaving school he worked from a studio behind a butchers shop in Maroubra, Sydney, while working full-time as a clerk with the NSW Department of Motor Transport. Bored with clerking, he enrolled into a BA course in Visual Art at the City Art Institute, Sydney (now College of Fine Arts UNSW). He studied at the City Art Institute from 1982-1984 and Majored in painting and drawing. His teachers included Kate Briscoe, Anne Thompson, Michael Esson and Susan Archer. In 1983 he exhibited his work for the first time at a selected students group show at the Ivan Dougherty Gallery, Sydney. Through the late 1980s Kirk exhibited in several group exhibitions, and had his first solo show at the Julie Green Gallery, Sydney in 1991. The following year the artist’s work was singled out for praise at a group drawing show at the Julie Green Gallery by the respected art critic Elwyn Lynn. Since the early 1990s Kirk has regularly exhibited in solo and group shows in Sydney and occasionally interstate. In recent years he has exhibited at the Washhouse Gallery, Rozelle, Sydney. Kirk works mainly with oil or acrylic on stretched canvas, although he uses other media with his work on paper. Artists Ian Fairweather, Colin McCahon and early Mark Rothko are acknowledged influences on the artist, although Kirk’s painting and drawing expresses a dynamic, highly individual style. The mid-career artist has lived for many years in the Sydney suburb of Leichhardt, where he lives with his wife Jane Palfreyman. His studio at the back of his home is a converted old millinery workshop which dates from 1908. Devoid of any artistic pretention, David Kirk’s gentle humour can often disarm viewers who are startled by his powerful images. Coastal views, often inspired by the landscape at Merimbula on the South Coast of NSW, seem to be the overriding theme during his career. In recent times he has also produced semi-abstract images based on plant growth, the plight of nature, as well as views of the Tasmanian coast.

Biography
Leann Jean Edwards, artist and designer, was born on Manatunga Mission, Robinvale, Victoria in 1962. She is a descendant of the Wiradjuri and Yitha Yitha Nations of New South Wales, and the Mara clan of the Yolgnu people of the Northern Territory. Edwards undertook a Koori art and design course at the East Gippsland College of TAFE between 1991 and 1995 and achieved a Visual Diploma of the Arts at Monash University in 1996, however her art practice preceded this training. One of her first exhibitions was 'Manatunga Memories’ at the Nicholson Gallery, Bairnsdale, in 1993, which consisted of paintings that recalled her early childhood life on the Manatunga Mission. Edwards’ art practice is inspired by her sense of the injustice Indigenous people suffer, and her commitment to presenting the perspective of the “under dog”. She creates bold, vibrantly coloured paintings that are dense with lively community activity. Drawn from her own experiences and memories, as well as the stories shared by her relatives (which she writes down), they explore urban Indigenous experience and capture the humour and pathos of family life.Edwards’ art practice is often connected to her involvement in Indigenous community projects, to which she also brings her strengths as a dancer and educator. In 1992, she was invited by the Krowathunkooloong Keeping Place, a Museum of East Gippsland Aboriginal culture in Bairnsdale, to produce wall designs based on the artefacts that were on display inside the museum. In 1997 she was commissioned by the City of Melbourne to produce a design for a hot air balloon that was part of the Melbourne Moomba Festival 'River Spectacular’. In that year Edwards was among a group of Koori artists who founded the East Gippsland Aboriginal Arts Corporation, and she has participated in a number of the Corporation’s exhibitions. Edwards was also involved in the Mallacoota Arts Festival over a number of years, at which she performed as a dancer and contributed artistic designs. Edwards has painted a number of school murals, one of which was designed for the Bairnsdale Primary School (known locally as '754’) and dedicated to Fred Bull. Fred Bull, brother of renowned Gurnai painter Ronald Bull, had been a friend of the artist’s grandfather Edward William Rogers and an important member of the Bairnsdale Primary School community. Edwards was assisted by a number of Bairnsdale Primary School children in her creation of the mural. In 2001, Edwards participated in an artist exchange program at the Ashiwi elementary school in Zuni, New Mexico, and in the same year she held a solo exhibition titled 'The Kirby Women’ at the Dreamtime Gallery in Sante Fe, New Mexico. The exhibition was a tribute to Edward’s grandmother Sylvia Kirby, and to her ten sisters. As she described in conversation with the author, each painting in the exhibition contained a narrative based on Edward’s memories of how each of the Kirby women had touched her life. In 1999 Edwards was able to explore a new artistic medium when she participated in an Australian Print Workshop in Fitzroy, Melbourne. Two etchings she produced at the workshop were acquired by the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, and included in the Gallery’s 2004 exhibition 'Place Made: Australian Print Workshop’. At the time of writing, Edwards worked as an Aboriginal culture and language teacher at a number of schools in the East Gippsland region, and ran a business as a freelance designer. She was living in Lakes Entrance and had three children and three grandchildren. Writers: Fisher, Laura Note: Date written: 2008 Last updated: 2011 Status: peer-reviewed

Birth Place
Swan Hill, Victoria, Australia
Biography
Waradgerie artist, Lorraine Connelly-Northey drifted away from her former government job to embrace and reconnect with the country of her mother and an Indigenous lifestyle. This meant exploring the Mallee and Riverina environments around her birthplace and coming face to face with the remnants of white domesticity and the displacement of her culture. Since beginning her artistic career in 1990, Connelly-Northey has brought weaving into a contemporary art practice and embraced the techniques and styles of her Indigenous heritage. As the artist has stated; “I want to be more than just a traditional weaver. I want to be a distinguished weaver with an instantly recognisable style and voice”. Combining the crafts of her Indigenous mother (Lucy Williams-Connelly) and the collecting nature of her Irish father, Connelly-Northey re-interprets the traditions of Aboriginal weaving. Her mixed cultural heritage has informed much of her work, which questions the social and political environments within Australia. Instead of using traditional grasses and natural fibres in her works, the artist uses rusted wire, iron and the leftover scraps of the Australian environment. Connelly-Northey thus recreates and recycles the detritus of white settlement and colonial enterprises. These works are reminiscent of traditional Aboriginal cultures. She takes her knowledge of coil weaving and transforms it into a contemporary discipline, which embraces both her Irish and Aboriginal roots. Connelly-Northey’s narbong (string bags) and kooliman (bowls) are taken directly from the Australian landscape and its forgotten fencing wire, rusted iron, rabbit proof fences, bedsprings and fly screens. The strength and rigidity of these materials are countered by the soft colours and textures of more traditional elements like galah and pelican feathers or echidna quills. The delicate nature of these materials compliments the bare history, brutality and humanity of the abandoned wire and metal. The works become post-colonial expressions and it has been said they “verge on abstraction” (Helen Bongiorno, November 2005) with their hard lines and reduced forms. The scale of her works is larger than tradition merits, but this serves to highlight the gestures of creation and true nature of the materials. Connelly-Northey’s sculptural pieces have been collected by many art galleries and spaces throughout Australia, including the National Gallery of Victoria and the Art Gallery of NSW. In the decade since 2000, she has participated in many solo and group shows, including the 2010 'Sydney Biennale’ and the 2008 'Adelaide Festival’. Connelly-Northey’s success as an artist belies her lack of formal training, but highlights her intuitive and beautiful response to creating. Connelly-Northey’s more recent works have explored the strong history of the possum skin cloak in Aboriginal society. These larger works still utilise the discarded metals that have become synonymous with Connelly-Northey’s practice, but in this instance they evoke the lost art of making possum skin cloaks which was an integral part of the lives of South-Eastern Indigenous Australians. Her cloaks reference this history, the many years of Aboriginal domesticity prior to white settlement, and the damage done since then. The thin forms, sparse holes and harsh materials used, are a reminder of the erosion of Aboriginal culture and the hard circumstances faced by Aboriginal peoples. They are a form of protection, now made sinister. One of Connelly-Northey’s cloaks was exhibited at the 10th Adelaide Biennale, ‘Handle with Care’ exhibition (2008). By recreating these items and various dilly-bags and vessels throughout her career, Connelly-Northey is continuing a tradition and reaffirming the longevity of Aboriginal culture. She comes from a strong and vibrant history of weaving and there is a strong sense of recycling and reclaiming culture in everything that the artist creates. Connelly-Northey’s self-exploration and inherent skill allows her to select abandoned, useless and abused materials, giving them new lives, through workmanship and exhibition.

Summary
Connelly Northey is a contemporary weaver who uses abandoned materials to create her artworks and explore post-colonial realities. She has been practising since 1990 and her works speak of a discourse between her Indigenous and Irish roots.

Biography
Silversmith Robert Foster set up F!NK and Co in 1994, joined by partner Gretel Harrison in 1997. Foster wanted a business that would support his one-off handmade works, starting with production of his now well-known aluminium F!NK water jug. From the outset, F!NK was envisaged as a company of designers and many acknowledge Foster’s generosity and enthusiasm in providing them with a start. He insists on a close connection to the tooling part of the process to ‘maintain the sensitivity and integrity of the design’. F!NK objects are now sold extensively in Australia and overseas. Increased demand for the F!NK water jug led Foster to explore offshore manufacturing, and he proceeded to have jug forms made in China, mostly for assembly in Australia. Foster’s work is in the collection of the Powerhouse Museum, and was included in the Museum’s 2007 exhibition 'Smart works: design and the handmade’. FROM THE DESIGN INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA’S HALL OF FAME AWARD 2019: Robert Foster was born in Kyneton, Victoria to art teacher parents who also painted and made pottery. He studied gold and silversmithing at the Canberra School of Art, now ANU School of Art, under renown silversmiths Ragnar Hansen and Johannes Kuhnen. He graduated in 1985 with a Bachelor of Arts (Visual) and a Post Graduate Diploma of Arts (Visual) in 1986. He went on to establish a studio, Fink & Co in 1993 and rapidly became a major figure in the ACT and national design industry. Best known for designing tableware, lighting, furniture and other objects, he also had a number of major sculpture commissions including Ossolites in the foyer of the ActewAGL building in Canberra. Each piece he made is imbued with a distinctive personality and movement; objects ‘that might, Nutcracker-suite style, come to life as the owner sleeps.’ Foster’s iconic Fink jug epitomises his design ethos and technical prowess and is a landmark achievement in Australian design. When commissioned to create the jug by Canberra restaurant The Republic, Robert took aluminium tubing, an everyday yet sustainable material, and fashioned it into a sleek, economically-viable product. The original tooling involved old pieces of steel from his father’s tractor and wood from a fence post. The Fink jug now features in collections both nationally and internationally including New York’s Museum of Modern Art, London’s Victoria and Albert Museum and major Australian institutions including the National Gallery of Australia. He won numerous awards including the ANU Alumnus of the Year award in 2015. He regularly lectured, gave specialised workshops and was a key-note speaker at international conferences. Following his untimely death in 2016, two grants were set up in Robert’s name to ensure his dedication to helping others continues. One is the ANU Robert Foster Gold & Silversmithing Honours Scholarship and the second is the Capital Arts Patron’s Organisation’s Robert Foster Memorial Award.

Summary

Biography
Artist Deborah Kelly was born in Melbourne in 1962. She began making socially engaged artwork in 1983 and has exhibited across Australia and internationally. Earlier in her career Kelly worked as a cartoonist; in 1985 she was represented in ‘The Heidelberg School Picnic’, the State Library of Victoria exhibition of the work of contemporary Australian cartoonists. In 1991 she participated in ‘Out of Line’ with Jane Cafarella, Trudy Clutterbok, Kaz Cooke , Bronwyn Halls, Judy Horacek , Kathleen McCann, Nicole McKinnon, Joan Rosser and Jo Waite . Her cartooning work was primarily made for print media rather than exhibition and was published extensively around Australia from 1981 to 1988. The media through which she worked became increasingly varied after 1989. Her photomedia project Hey, hetero! (2001), created in collaboration with Tina Fiveash , has been displayed on bus shelters, billboards, screens, magazines, newspapers, and text books in Sydney, Melbourne, Wellington, Glasgow, Berlin, Minneapolis and Claremont.  Her 2009 work Tank Man Tango: a Tiananmen Memorial was a distributed dancing memorial for the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre and was performed in over 20 cities and towns around the world. At the 2008 Singapore Biennale, her work involved projections onto clouds over the city; this was a reiteration of her Museum of Contemporary Art commissioned work, Beware of the God , first shown in 2005. Her work for the Sydney Biennale in 2014 was a large collaborative collage work 'No Human being is Illegal’. Kelly is a founding member of boat-people.org, a group of Sydney-based art and media workers who collaborate on public work about issues of race, history and borders. Kelly also began creating gallery-based artworks in 1988 and continued this practice in parallel to her public work.  Her solo shows since 2007 have featured collage, video and installation work. Deborah Kelly sometimes curates in collaboration with people and institutions. Major curatorial projects include BORDERPANIC with Zina Kaye at Performance Space, Sydney, in 2002; Terra Nullius at Galerie ACC in Weimar and Halle 14 in Leipzig with Frank Motz in 2009; and SEXES at Carriageworks Sydney with Bec Dean and Jeff Khan in 2012.

Jennifer Dunne, painter and mixed media artist, was born in Melbourne in 1962. A descendent of the Kirrae Wurrung and Gunditjmara peoples, Dunne’s acrylic and ochre works often depict the designs that were traditionally incised on the interior surface of possum-skin cloaks owned by members of Victorian Aboriginal tribes. The 19th century cloak that is housed in the Melbourne Museum has been a source of inspiration for Dunne: the cloak was discovered at Lake Condah, which is in Gunditjmara country (her Great-Grandmother’s country) in southwestern Victoria. Dunne was short-listed for the 2005 and 2008 Victorian Indigenous Art Awards. This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography.

Biography
cartoonist and writer, was born, she states, at 5.17 a.m. in Melbourne on 17 December 1962 and has 'lived variously in Darwin, Alice Springs (briefly as anything) and Sydney [she was at Bondi Beach in 1994]. Now I’m back in Melbourne [1996].’ Rather than going to art school, she began her career in 1981 as a cadet reporter with Fairfax on the Melbourne Age and worked on general news as well as the women’s pages and the Entertainment Guide. Her 1988 Acrid Rain [falling from the bicentennial logo onto a cross woman] was reproduced in Bridges & Heimann (p.82). She is a member of the Black and White Artists Club (at least from 1994 & probably earlier). In c.1996-97 she wrote a weekly column in the Sydney Morning Herald’s 'Good Weekend’ magazine illustrated only with bizarrely incongrous photographic vignettes of famous people such as Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana as joke self-portraits but in 1999 was again illustrating her weekly articles in the Australian with her own cartoons. In 1984 Cooke created the cartoon character 'Hermoine the modern girl’. She appeared in The Eye for years then as a weekly feature in the Sunday Age and Sydney Morning Herald (late 1980s) as well as in several books including The Modern Girl’s Guide to Everything , The Modern Girl’s Guide to Safe Sex and The Modern Girl’s Diary . After The Modern Girl’s Guide to Safe Sex had been on sale for a year, it was seized by the NZ Customs who, she claims, said they were 'alerted to the likely content of the book by the word sex on the cover’. Cooke’s commentary and cartoon collection Real Gorgeous (featuring 'Hermoine the Modern Girl’) was published as a CD-ROM by Film Australia in 1995; it received the 1995 AFI Award for Best Short Film. She stated in a geekgirl interview in 1996: “I’m learning to get a whole lot better at making stuff happen on computer, but I still really love drawing in old-fashioned pen and a bottle of the blacker-than-black waterproof ink – delicious”. In 1997 she did a calendar printed on “paper” made from sugar cane pulp. Her novel, published 1997, was about [the city of] Darwin. She wrote and illustrated a book of advice on etiquette problems, Keep Yourself Nice (Allen & Unwin, 1990); its illustrations include cover of (a leering male) “Hi there, cupcake!” and (female with chainsaw) “Should I use a fish knife?” Living with Crazy Buttocks (Penguin 2001), a collection of essays mainly published in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age with others based on radio pieces, is relatively lavishly illustrated with her own spiky cartoons. Her first children’s book, The Terrible Underpants (Puffin, Ringwood: Vic., 2000) – written when she was 'a mum’ – consists of 15 full-page colour cartoons and a brief narrative.

Birth Place
Box Hill, VIC, Australia
Biography
Karen Atkins was born at Box Hill, Victoria, in 1962 and grew up on the outskirts of Melbourne where her time was devoted to painting and riding horses. School holidays spent on her uncle’s wheat and sheep farm at Boundary Bend on the Murray River fostered her love of the land and the solitude of its wide spaces. Having completed her Bachelor of Arts degree at Monash University and her Diploma of Education at the Hawthorn Institute of Education in Melbourne, she moved to north-western Victoria in 1986. There she married a farmer and shared the regular calendar chores associated with life on a sheep and wheat farm including droving, fencing and working as a shearer’s 'rouseabout’. During the ten years spent on the land she learned to appreciate Australia’s interior: the huge skies, flat landscape and elegant sparseness. Nonetheless, following the death of her husband in a farming accident, she moved to Sydney in 1996 and began painting full-time. The undulating topography awakened a new interest in vistas, the extensive harbour and its many inlets. Atkins’ Sydney home, a stone and brick cottage in Crows Nest built for quarrymen in 1890, with its views from the studio to the garden and harbour beyond, provided an inspiring space for her work. Upon arriving in Sydney, Atkins accepted a number of commissions for community art murals – at McMahon’s Point Community Centre, Chatswood Mall in Victoria Street, and Northbridge Public School – all of which were completed between 1996 and 2006. In 2007 she received her most significant public art commission, Bears Party (Grasmere Reserve, Cremorne), Atkins’ only mosaic-based public art piece to date. She has also participated in temporary events designed to bring art to a wider public, such as 'Art on the Boardwalk’, an annual event sponsored by North Sydney Council. In March 1997 Atkins joined the Royal Art Society (RAS) as an exhibiting member. The RAS, established in 1880, offers an active program for members, including approximately eight annual group exhibitions. Atkins was elevated to an Associate (ARAS) in 1999 and has received many awards from the Society. In 2000 she received a Special Commendation at Crows Nest Club Art Prize. In 2005 she was employed by St Lucy’s, Wahroonga, a school for children with special needs, to assist with the development of St Lucy’s at Play , a book on the children’s art. In 2006 the school invited her back as artist-in-residence, a position designed to encourage children to explore the world through play and creative expression, and that energised as an artist. She maintained an association with St Lucy’s via engagement with the children’s creative activities, leading to annual exhibitions of the children’s art which serve as fundraisers for the school’s Creative Arts Centre. It is as a textile designer that Atkins has also forged an association with fashion designer Sophia Nguyen and her company SARISSA. Atkins has an additional role as media agent for the company – she wears SARISSA clothes at public events. Atkins believes “people respond to the spirit of my paintings” which are informed by her cultural upbringing and travels. She states: “My paintings are a meandering through personal experience and recollections. They celebrate beauty and wonder of everyday events. I use texture and a colour-drenched palette to tell stories and convey heartfelt emotions that I hope engage viewers and connect them to universal themes and feelings” (Atkins pers. comm. 2008). Such ideas also informed her December 2008 exhibition, 'Souvenirs’, in which she explored the links between collectable items, relocation, memory and globalisation through still life, interior and figure compositions. By 2008, Atkins had participated in over one-hundred group and seventeen solo exhibitions – many at Salmon Galleries in McMahon’s Point, Sydney. Her work is held in private collections in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the USA. Writers: Biancardi, DominicDe Lorenzo, Dr Catherine Date written: 2008 Last updated: 2009

Birth Place
Gordon Downs, WA, Australia
Biography
Although one of the younger Balgo artists in the early days of painting at the community – she was born near Gordon Downs Station c.1961 – Patricia Lee was more active than most in the activities of the older women in the Balgo community, including painting and ceremonial life. A Warlpiri speaker, she worked closely with her mother, Margaret Anjule, and grandmother, Dora Napaltjarri, both good artists in their own right. Her traditional country was in the Tanami Desert at Mongrel Downs, and her paintings often depict Wanayarra (Rainbow Snake) and Bush Tomato Dreamings from this area. Her work has a strong narrative element and she may be credited with 'introducing’ the technique of paint flicking into Balgo art. She began painting in 1984, and her work is included in the National Gallery of Australia collection. She usually sells her work through Warlayirti Artists. It was also featured on the cover of the Balance exhibition catalogue (Queensland Art Gallery, 1990) and included in Flash Pictures at the National Gallery of Australia in 1991-2.

Naiyarindji country, Northern Territory, Australia
Biography
Edward (Eddie) Taita Blitner is a Mara/Alawa man from Naiyarindji country in the Northern Territory. He lived for many years at the Ngukurr community (now called Yugul Mangi) on the Roper River, 70 km inland from the Gulf of Carpentaria in south-east Arnhem Land. He attended Concordia College in Adelaide until he was 16 years old and as a young man worked as a stockman and farmhand. He learned to paint from the age of seven – his grandfathers taught him to blend ochre, carve, and passed on to him the stories of the work they were doing. According to his artist statement on the website for Darwin’s Aboriginal Fine Arts Gallery, “My grandfathers, Fred, Gerry and Donald would be painting or carving and we kids would sit around them and watch them grind the ochres and mix the colours, after a while he would tell us the story for that particular painting and also teach us the songs and dance for that story. When he was in a very good mood, he let us paint the sides of the bark painting, that was my start”. Eddie’s father, Walter Blitner, is also a well-known carver and painter. Eddie Blitner paints with natural ochre effects on canvas in his own unique style. He is also a wood carver. His art is sold through galleries in Alice Springs, Katherine and Darwin.

Birth Place
Cloncurry, Qld, Australia
Biography
Waanyi artist, Gordon Hookey was born on the 2nd February 1961 in Cloncurry, Queensland. Hookey says he began painting in Grade One and has remained an artist ever since. Hookey worked as a labourer before moving to Sydney in the late 1980s to enrol in a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the College of Fine Arts, University of NSW. Whilst at COFA Hookey became an artist member of Boomalli Aboriginal Artist Cooperative, then located in the inner city suburb of Redfern. He completed his degree in 1992. Hookey’s early paintings addressed many of the past injustices inflicted upon Aboriginal people. According to Dr Joseph Pugliese who wrote about Hookey for the 2004 Sydney Biennale catalogue, 'Reason and Emotion’, his style “cuts across generic boundaries and aesthetic styles – where the conventions of history painting, protest art, cartoons, pop art, graffiti, surrealism and mural art converge on a single canvas.” Hookey began exhibiting immediately upon graduation and in 1993 he exhibited his work in 'Dante in Australia’ at the Centro Deantesco in Ravenna, Italy. In 1995 he exhibited in 'Native Title’, at Tandanya Aboriginal Cultural Centre in Adelaide. Hookey’s reputation as a political artist began to grow from 1996 and the increasing appreciation and respect within the Aboriginal arts community for his work was confirmed in 1997 when festival producer Rhoda Roberts invited Hookey to participate in 'Off-Shore, On-Site’ for the 'Festival of the Dreaming’ – the first Cultural Olympiad for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. 'Off-Shore, On-Site’ was a group residency and exhibition of international Indigenous artists hosted by Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre in South Western Sydney. Casula Powerhouse subsequently commissioned him, along with New Zealand based Samoan artist Andy Leilei, to participate in a 1998 residency and exhibition titled 'Furious’ which was part of the 2nd Pacific Wave Festival. Hookey’s works King Hit (for Queen and Country); Brick Shithouse and Ten Point Scam were included in the 2000 Adelaide Biennale exhibition 'Beyond the Pale’, which was curated by Brenda L Croft included and it was at this time that Hookey’s practice began to gain notoriety and the attention of the print media. Bruce James, art critic for the Sydney Morning Herald declared of Hookey’s work in 'Beyond the Pale’ on the11th March 2000, that he “wanted the Queen of Australia just as I want John Howard, her Prime Minister, to see Hookey’s scalding canvases and constructions, the sting in the tail of the show.” Hookey’s 2003 work Sacred Nation, scared nation, indoctrination was included in the National Gallery of Victoria’s exhibition, 'Colour Power’, that opened at the Ian Potter Centre in Federation Square in November, 2004. This large three-panel piece speaks, among other things, of the wanton destruction of pristine environments by the government of the United States of America in its search for oil and of the Australian government’s complicity in such behaviour. This work, when first acquired and displayed in 2004 by the NGV, was the subject of much discussion in the local Melbourne tabloid press, which led to the then Victorian Liberal Opposition Arts Spokesman, Mr Andrew Olexander calling for its removal from display. 2004 Sydney Biennale curator Isabel Carlos included Hookey’s 2004 work, Paranoia Annoy Ya in this international event. A large installation piece, it was shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art and participating in the biennale afforded Hookey an audience he never had before. In 2005 Hookey showcased his new exhibition, 'www.gordonhoo.com’ at the gallery of his new dealer, Nellie Castan in Melbourne and in 2007 Brisbane gallery Bellas Milani Gallery began to represent him also. In 2006 Hookey had three arts residencies – one for the Otago University, Dunedin, New Zealand, one at Melbourne’s Gertrude Street Contemporary Art Space and the third at the Banff Centre in Canada. The Canadian residency was partly funded through the Australia Council for the Arts. 2007 saw Hookey participate in the National Gallery of Australia’s 1st National Indigenous Art Triennal, 'Culture Warriors’ curated by Brenda Croft. Hookey continues to create work that responds to the national events and policies that affect Aboriginal people and since 2001 his work has begun to comment increasingly on international events such as 'The War on Terror’ and global warming. Even though Hookey returned to live in Queensland in 2002, he remains a member of Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Cooperative and in 2006 he became an active member of the Brisbane-based Aboriginal arts group, ProppaNOW. Other Brisbane artists involved with ProppaNOW include, Richard Bell, Laurie Nilson, Jennifer Herd, Bianca Beetson and Vernon Ah Kee.

Queensland
Biography
Performance artist, was born and raised in Queensland then lived in Sydney until she married the sculptor and installation artist Neil Roberts in the late 1990s and moved to Queanbeyan. (He died early 2002). Her Cloche (1999) – seen only as a video, the medium by which her performances are recorded – shows her chopping off her hair in order to remove a flapper-style close-fitting cap glued to her head (see JK 'Wombat Manifesto’ lecture, published in Republics of Ideas ed. Brad Buckley and John Conomos). In 199(7?) Campbell did a memorable performance at Old Parliamen House, Canberra that used research carried out for her Sydney College of the Arts MA on images of Truganini (kissing a plate while smothered in thick red lipstick to bring up the signature of the white maker of a Truganini image to the sounds and sights of a session of Federal Parliament on TV in the background.) In November 1999 Campbell did Inflorescent as the final performance for her residency program at the University of Sydney’s Centre for Performance Studies – a 'part-cycad, part-homosapien specimen’ visible for an hour. Her body was inscribed with cycad-frond patterns and other decorative motifs using special ink that showed up only under ultra-violet light concealed within a woven palm-leaf fan she swept across her body. Initially a counter-point to the Macleay Museum exhibition Adorned , she repeated it in the small room at Canberra Contemporary Artspace’s Gorman House on 14-15 April 2000. Viewed only through the external window of the Gorman House small cube room (shades of Duchamp’s Etant Donnés at Philadelphia), she lay naked in the dark on a chaise longue (shades of Manet and Titian) slowly fanning herself to reveal the tattoo-like inscriptions on her body. She organised two performances as part of 'LIKENESS: Portraiture and Biography symposium’ at 5.30 pm. on Saturday, 5 May 2001 at Sydney University’s College of the Arts, Balmain Rd, Rozelle: 'SECATEUR, A life of pruning; pruning a life. Vera Violet Isabel Campbell performs the art of flower arranging’ and at 6.00pm 'REMANENCE: Hugh McKenzie Campbell demonstrates the act of water-dowsing’ (the latter performance was cancelled because of rain). Both drew from video recordings of the artist’s paternal grandparents gathered over a six-year period to April 2001 (between Hugh’s 101st birthday and Vera’s 99th). REMANENCE was developed and premiered at the Department of Performance Studies, Sydney University in May 2000. SECATEUR was developed at Sydney College of the Arts in April 2001. The LIKENESS symposium was jointly presented by the National Portrait Gallery, SU’s Research Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences and SU College of the Arts. In 2001 Campbell’s clever and caustic art-historical performance about international modern art and its teaching in Australia, specifically Sydney University, titled The Machine, Oiled Again , was held under the stair bridge to the Power Department of Fine Arts (see JK article 2002). The five performances connected with SU (including Sydney College of the Arts) were to be recreated in a retrospective in May 2002 with a catalogue/book funded with SU sesqui-centenary funds, but the event was postponed until the end of the year after Neil’s death.

Summary
Performance artist. For the final work of her residency at the University of Sydney's Centre for Performance Studies, Campbell inscribed her body with motifs that were only visible under ultra-violet light. She revealed them by sweeping a palm-leaf fan with a concealed UV light across her body. It was designed as a counter-work to the the university's Macleay Museum's exhibition 'Adorned.'

Papunya, NT, Australia
Biography
Annette Ellis Napangarti was born in 1961 at Papunya, not long after the settlement’s official opening. Her grandfather Tom Onion Tjapangarti was Honey Ant Boss for the Papunya area. With Mick Wallankarri Tjakamarra, he was a key figure in authorising a team of painters led by Kaapa Tjampitjinpa and including Annette’s father Don Ellis to paint the now famous Honey Ant mural on the Papunya School wall in 1971 at the beginning of the desert painting movement. Annette’s mother was Rosie (Purula) Ikunka Napurrula. Don and Rosie had a son, Tony, and three daughters, Barbara, Sarah and Annette (the youngest). The family lived in the Papunya area before the settlement was established. Annette later went to school in Papunya and remembered doing pottery with Geoffrey Bardon as a school girl. Later she attended Yirara College in Alice Springs. Annette’s first husband was Fraser Daniels from Yuendumu, younger brother of Kaapa Tjampitjinpa and himself an occasional painter for Papunya Tula. Annette and Fraser had three daughters, Jessie, Evalun and Tarmina. After Fraser’s death Annette married David Dixon, son of Mick Wallankarri and Topsy Napaltjarri. They have a daughter, Clarinda. Annette has lived in Papunya all her life. She identifies as Luritja: her grandfather was one of the last speakers of Kukatja in these parts. She paints the Honey Ant Dreaming story for Papunya, which she learnt from her grandfather. She began painting for Papunya Tjupi in 2007 and often works in the art centre alongside her sister Sarah. Asked why she paints, Annette said: “I want to paint the Honey Ant Dreaming for my grandfather and father. It makes me happy when I paint.” Writers: Papunya Tjupi Arts Date written: 2009 Last updated: 2011

Alice Springs, NT, Australia
Biography
Walangari Karntawarra Jakamarra, also known as Colin McCormack was born in Alice Springs in 1961. He is of the Arrernte, Luritja, Walpiri, Yankuntjatjarra, Pintubi, Anmatjerre and Alyawarre peoples of the Central and Western Desert. Walangari has held many executive positions and been the director of various Aboriginal councils. He chaired CAAMA (the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association), the first Aboriginal owned radio station and was a director of the first Aboriginal television station, Imparja. He is committed to improving the lot of his people and helping ensure that the voice of Aboriginal Australia is heard. He has Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees and an Associate Diploma of Aboriginal Education. Walangari has designed and conducted his own very successful cross-cultural course at the Institute of Aboriginal Development in Alice Springs. The course was attended by many overseas and local professionals and students. Like the course, Walangari sees his paintings as a form of communication between cultures. Walangari is multi talented. He is a gifted musician and dancer, with a wonderful stage presence but it was the legacy of his famous 'great-grandfather’, Albert Namatjira and the inspiration of his 'grandfather’ Clifford Possum that encouraged him to paint. While his paintings tell the traditional stories of his people and feature the iconography of the 'Western Desert’, Walangari uses a fuller colour spectrum and unique effects to forge a striking path within modern Aboriginal Art.

Birth Place
Menindee, NSW, Australia
Biography
Nuddij (also known as Richard John Bennett) was born in 1961 of a Ngalakan (a tribal estate located north of Roper River and east of Wilton River, Northern Territory) father and Barkinji (Pooncarrie, New South Wales) mother. His mother, Isabelle, was removed from her family in Menindee when 14 years old (c.1940) and was raised at Garden Point Mission, Melville Island. Similarly his father was removed from his Arnhem Land family and raised on the same mission, where they both married, had children and lived for a further 10 years before leaving in 1957 to work on a NT plantation. Richard’s father passed away a few years later and after living a few years in Darwin, Isabelle returned to New South Wales to re-unite with her mother and raise her family in Menindee. Richard visited his Northern Territory family as a young adult (c.1980s) and states that he was given the name Nuddij. The meaning of Nuddij is unknown to the author, but Dr Brett Baker, University of New England, who is an expert in Ngalakan linguistics believes it is the tribal skin name 'ngarritj’. Richard has been making art most of his life, with carved emu eggs only one of his specialties. His training and associates in Menindee are not known. In 2006, Ah Chung’s Bakehouse Gallery in Menindee (director: Howard Setton) held Nuddij works from the early 1990s but few other indigenous artists were evident there, suggesting Nuddij was largely self-taught. In both subject matter and style his work reveals both western New South Wales and Northern Territory influences. In one example held in the collection of the Australian Museum in Sydney, the image of a crocodile dominates the work but it is carved in Barkinji style. He was painting in this style in 1990, however by 2006 he was painting realistic pictures of bush animals (kookaburra, kangaroo) and figurative Barkinji tribesmen for sale in Broken Hill (Art on Argent Gallery, Argent St) and Adelaide. In May 2008, Nuddij won First Prize (Open) for Tribesman with Dijaridoo in the inaugural Far West Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Prize at Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery.

Summary
Richard Bennett paints and (to a limited extent)carves emu eggs and in both subject matter and style his work reveals the influences of his parents' heritage countries in western New South Wales and eastern Arnhem Land.

Biography
Brad Miller is an artist and academic at the College of Fine Arts; he lives and works in Sydney. His artistic practice bridges the fields of media arts, experimental design studio, participatory urban media architecture, software development and expanded photography. Typically, his large-scale responsive installations explore identity and memory with a focus on the relationship of things and the inevitability of change—while grappling for permanence in the construction of identity. Structured by code, the content of his installations comprise original photographic images and sound: augment_me (2009) and data_shadow (2011) and—separately—crowd-sourced images and audio that explore a specific city or natural world: mediated_moments (2012), #capillary (2013) and le_temps (2013). The random and conscious associations created by the works, Miller believes are the subject because it is these that have a complex and subtle effect on self in an age of social media and photography as a real-time communication tool. His recent works: plasma_flow (2012) and starry_night (2014) use algorithms to simulate natural phenomena and so called natural interfaces where our assumed uniqueness is confronted and our mediated relations made more apparent. Miller has written on the nature of self in the age of ubiquitous networks and the mediation of memories. He has presented his research at: ‘Somatic Embodiment, Agency & Mediation in Digital Mediated Environments’ Sydney (2010) and International Symposium of Electronic Arts Istanbul (2011). While working with collaborators, Miller has presented his contributions at: ICDHS San Paulo (2012), ISEA Sydney (2013), Media-Arts History Conference Riga (2013) and Digital Arts Forum, Copenhagen (2013). As part of his hybrid Media Arts/Design practice Miller has also established himself as a researcher with a multi-disciplinary group (UNSW FBE/QUT/USYD) examining urban informatics, data visualisations and participatory engagement.

Biography
cartoonist, print-maker and writer, was born on 12 November 1961 at Mooroopna, Victoria. She mostly lived in Melbourne until the late 1990s then moved to Canberra where she still lives with her partner, Francesca Rendle-Short. After passing the HSC in 1979, Horacek completed a BA (Hons) in Fine Arts and English Literature at MU. Initially she wanted to be a writer; her first cartoon, was done in the mid-1980s to illustrate a story written as a member of a community writing group. It made her decide to be a cartoonist instead. Her earliest, very didactic, feminist cartoons were intended for Judy’s Punch , an annual published by Melbourne University, but only one was published before it expired. Horacek completed a Graduate Diploma in Museum Studies at Victoria College of the Arts with the aim of becoming a print curator, drawing cartoons for community journals like Legal Aid (see WAR) until the perfect print curator job was advertised at the AGSA. 'It was Jan. 20th 1988, when I heard that I didn’t get the job, that I officially became a cartoonist’ (interview with Bridget Cole-Adams, WAR Bulletin March 1999. The position went to Sarah Thomas, later Curator of Australian Art AGSA.) Horacek’s cartoons have been included in numerous black and white art, political, environmental and women’s exhibitions and publications (see Joan Kerr Archive). The 'Mabo and Moral Community’ issue of Meanjin 2/1993 (Winter) contained three of her postmodernism cartoons: Miss Marple and The Case of Contemporary Theory showing children in a car speaking 'theory’ (“First the death of God… then the death of the author… my goodness – who’ll be next?”), p.228; The Waiting Room of Meaning (“It’s been deferred again.”/ “Damn that Derrida”), p.383; and one of Captain Cook saying 'cogito ergum sum’ and an Aboriginal man replying 'Ahem… sum’ illustrating Tim Rowse’s article, 'Mabo and Moral Anxiety’. A gag on sheep was published in Overland no. 135 (winter 1994), 10. Horacek has held solo exhibitions of her cartoons since 1992 and more recently of her editioned prints, many at aGOG Canberra and its successor Helen Maxwell Gallery where she continues to exhibit. Her 'Premenstrual in a postmodern age’ series was shown at aGOG on 11-29 November 1995 (see handlist). The Art of Thinking , an editioned print series, was exhibited there in 1997 (p.c). A Horacek retrospective, Laughter, the Universe and Everything , was held at the NGV on 6 March-11 April 1999 and toured Victoria and South Australia in 1999-2000. In 2002 an exhibition of her feminist cartoons at the NMA, I Am Woman, Hear Me Draw , celebrated the centenary of Australian women getting the vote. An original untitled pen and ink drawing was included in Earthly Delights: a group exhibition about the environment at aGOG (18 August-6 September 1990) with 10% of the sales to Greenpeace. She participated in a community arts and environment project in North Carlton (c.1991) funded by the Australia Council and the Melbourne City Council, which took place over five months and involved students and adult community groups. She was employed for two days a week as cartoonist in residence to talk to community members and to produce cartoons based on their environmental concerns. She also ran cartooning workshops. The resulting cartoons were published in a variety of community arts and environmental magazines and shown in a number of exhibitions including a touring exhibition (see Joan Kerr Archive for interview and cartoons in Scratch! 1991). She has since run lots more cartooning workshops. Although her early cartoons were obviously influenced by Glen Baxter, they were given a very individual, feminist stance, e.g. The difficulty was trying to conceive of an art outside patriarchy (a woman artist in a smock facing a blank canvas), published Scratch! A scrapbook of radical cartooning in Australia , no.2 (Winter-Spring, 1991), as a postcard and in Past Present (1999). They knew that it was only a matter a time before someone demanded a definition of postmodernism (a Red Indian woman looking towards a wide-eyed cowgirl anxiously biting her nails) also appeared as a postcard and in Past Present 1999 (both cartoons illustrated an article by Catriona Moore). She rapidly evolved her own style of simpler, linear and rather more naive drawing and she never went in for historical parody as Baxter does. Her historical and mythical figures are just like us, e.g. Mrs Mulicuddy(?) cleaning up after God (see postcard in Joan Kerr Archive). Responding to a survey published in Scratch! (1991) in which contributors were asked questions about their practice, Horacek wrote: Materials: Pencil, rotring isographs – most often 0.35 for lines, 0.5 for borders and lettering, 1.0 for colouring in, 0.25 for fine detail – eraser, set square, scrap paper, photocopy paper. For mistakes, either start again or use liquid paper or cut and paste with glue stick or double-sided sticky tape. Am currently mucking around a bit with dipping pens as well. Attraction: The blackness and smoothness of line, the different textures possible when cross-hatching, the precision of line, its evenness (on the other hand, what I like about dipping pens is the unevenness of their line), the ready availability of photocopy paper, its bleedproofness. Drawbacks: Isographs tend to block up and have to be shaken very vigorously, sometimes for several days, before they will work again. But this is less of a problem now because my pens are used such a lot. Process: Drawing in pencil then ink over the lines. Depending on how this turns out it’s either the final version so I add pattern and stuff required or it’s a rough version which I trace in pencil then go over in ink, making adjustments at both stages. On bad days I may have to trace through several (100s) versions. Advantages: Very reproducible – very clear and can be shrunk and stay legible. Can do detail and lots of pattern. I like the effects of different size nibs. Disadvantages: The line is fairly rigid rather than free-flowing. You can’t sketch with isographs. Would like sometimes to use ink washes as tone but this requires bromiding for reproduction which is beyond the means of a lot of people (don’t know if I would be able to control inkwashes – this is just an idle thought as sometimes crosshatching doesn’t seem to come out right). Horacek has published five cartoon anthologies: Life on the Edge (1992), Unrequited Love, Nos 1-100 (1994), Women with Altitude (1997, republished by Hodder in 1998), Lost in Space (1998) – essays as well as pictures – and If the Fruit Fits (1999). She appeared in the SMH from time to time in the early 1990s then regularly in the Australian . A 'Women with Altitude’ cartoon appeared weekly, then more or less fortnightly in the weekend Australian Magazine in the late 1990s (odd ones not in the series appeared more irregularly in 2000 and new ones from time to time in 2001 until mid-year when her contract expired and was not renewed). In January 2000 & April 2001 she drew [coloured] editorial cartoons in the Weekend Australian while Nicholson was on holidays. From 1999 Horacek cartoons appeared in the monthly Australian Review of Books until publication ceased in 2001. In 2002 she began appearing weekly in the 'Relax’ section of the Sunday Canberra Times as well as having small (single column) cartoons irregularly on the editorial pages of the Australian (both still happening 2003). She has always been hung in the NMA’s annual Bringing the House Down exhibitions (at OPH, Canberra to 2002 then NMA); in 2001 she had two cartoons, Your concern about global warning and 2001: A Federation Odyssey (NMA website). In an interview published in the Canberra Times to coincide with the launch of If the Fruit Fits , Horacek explained: I am surprised that my themes have stayed generally the same. I am interested in looking at the way in which we live in the Western world in the 20th century. I ask what do we do? Many of these things stay the same. I think I have become more subtle and concerned with the art form of the cartoon… The fundamental non-negotiable issues for me are feminism, social justice and common decency. These things inform my work. I want to be positive to people… My cartoons do not alienate men. Feminism to me is not about that… I do want to say things and be political but above all, I have a really strong desire to communicate and have people laugh. Awards include the Fringe Festival Cartooning Award from the National Cartooning Exhibition, Melbourne, in October 1988. She won awards at both Hysterical Women cartooning exhibitions sponsored by WEL WA (Perth) in 1993 and 1996 (see Rona Chadwick and catalogues). Rainbow included her cartoon dated 2/1/01, The Unjolly Swagman (“I just don’t feel like doing anything.”/ [sheep] “Pull yourself together man – there’s a lot of national identity riding on this”), in her Federation anthology, where she was listed as 'freelance ACT’, with no citations of major awards, unlike the other well-known cartoonists. In her October 1999 newsletter Judy announced the launch of her website www.horacek.com.au. Designed by Fiona Edge, it contains biographical information, excellent cartoons – including an animated version of Woman with Altitude – and information on Horacek products. It comes out monthly. As well as promoting her books, she sells fridge magnets, cards and brooches, mostly of female figures. For the past few years, Judy Horacek has been producing etchings and linocuts at Megalo Kingston, formerly Studio One, with the expert assistance of master printers, Barb McConchie and Deborah Perrow. In 2002 she produced her first screenprint, a four colour version of Woman with Altitude . Writers: Kerr, Joan Date written: 1996 Last updated: 2007

Feeling deeply connected to matters of Black and White Australia since becoming educated in the issues in the mid 1990s, Karen says that identity, justice, equality and diversity are strong themes. So too questions about humanity’s place on the planet and our environmental footprints are strongly evidenced in Karen’s work “I am interested in culture, identity and a more genuine positive and respectful relationship with Indigenous Australia. My artwork goes across digital and darkroom photography, intaglio and photopolymer print making and sculpture from found materials, thus mirroring the ideas of a diverse dialogue.“   Writers: karenVsandon Date written: 2013 Last updated: 2013

Biography
cartoonist and illustrator, spent his childhood in New Guinea and on the north coast of NSW. After gaining an Associate Diploma in Media Studies from Mitchell College, Bathurst, he spent three years on the dole then began to earn a living as an illustrator. 'This work included drawing maps and wildlife for the Australian Geographic , drawing criminals for Channel Nine, the odd day’s work as an illustrator at the Sydney Morning Herald and the occasional children’s book.’ The last includes Edward the Emu (with Sheena Knowles), Snail Mail (with Hazel Edwards), Counting on Frank , Just Another Ordinary Day , Edwina the Emu (with Sheena Knowles) and Grandad’s Teeth . “He took over as the caricaturist at the Australian Financial Review after the previous incumbent overdosed on balding bankers and big-nosed execs. Clement then proceeded to overdose himself a couple of years after that, and by the time he had recovered another caricaturist had been installed. Then, in what was for him a fortunate twist, the AFR’s cartoonist went AWOL, and while the editors searched desperately for a worthy replacement, Clement filled in. He has been filling in ever since.” When he wrote this preface 'About the Author’ for The Economic Rationalist’s Guide to Sex (Harper Collins: Pymble, 1997), Clement was aged 36 and the father of three girls. He signs his work 'Clement’. In 2001 he was still 'a pocket cartoonist’ for the Australian Financial Review . In 2002 he also filled in as SMH political cartoonist while Moir was away. Cartoons in The Economic Rationalist’s Guide to Sex, all previously published in AFR or SMH , include one of a tattoo shop with 2 men, “I want something that sets me apart from the common herd, something that expresses the uniqueness and wildness of my personality.”/ “I only do tigers…”/ “Oh… That’ll do.” (n.p.), and small girl to shop assistant on 'Happy Mothers’ Day’ counter (back of book): “I want to get something for my mother that expresses my growing sense of alientation and resentment”. Clement exhibited 'Pauline’s Instrument’ and 'Dumb Redhead’ (both on Pauline Hanson), published in the Australian Financial Review on 10 April and 12 June 1997, in the National Museum of Australia/ Old Parliament House exhibition Bringing the House Down: 12 Months of Australian Political Humour (Canberra, 1997), cats 54, 55. He won the 1998 Walkley Award for best illustration for his cartoon 'Scab’ (original included in NMA 'Bringing the House Down’ exhibition, 1998). He also exhibited cartoons in the NMA’s 1999-2001 Bringing the House Down annual exhibitions. Writers: Kerr, Joan Date written: 1996 Last updated: 2007

Biography
For reasons too complex to explain here, Joe Green had two skin names. He was born at Lajamanu, but he moved around a lot, including to Alicurang. Born c.1960 of the Warlpiri tribe/language, his country was Jila, and he painted Yankirrijarra (Two Emus), Warna (Snake), Watijarra (Two Men) and also Warnanarra (Rainbow Serpent) Dreamings. Joe Green and his wife Robyn Green were a formidable husband and wife team, one of several from Lajamanu. They both started painting in 1986. The two nearly always worked together, helping each other with background dotting. They also painted works separately. Joe Green was a strong individualist, whose extraordinary use of colour usually fleshed out the basic design on their paintings. Writers: Johnson, Vivien Date written: 1994 Last updated: 2011

Birth Place
Balgo Hill, WA, Australia
Biography
Matthew Gill’s work has received much attention from non-Aboriginal people, in part because of his fascination, to a far greater degree than anyone else in the Balgo community, with non-traditional designs and techniques. For example, he combined the X-ray technique of Arnhem Land with his own desert motifs. Born at the old Balgo Mission in about 1960, he began painting in 1982. He usually painted Snake, Emu and Water Dreaming stories from the area surrounding Lake Lazlett. A Kukatja speaker, he lived either at Balgo or in the Nyirrpi community. He was the son of Mick Gill . In 1989 the artist spent three months living and painting in Japan. Former Warlayirti Artists coordinator Michael Rae once described Matthew Gill as 'the most original and talented of all the younger artists at Balgo’. Writers: Johnson, Vivien Date written: 1994 Last updated: 2011
Born
b. c.1960
Summary
A Kukatja artist, and resident of both Balgo (WA) and Nyirrpi (NT), Gill's experimentation with different painting techniques produced a unique style. His work is in major collections in Australia and overseas.

Born at Anningie in 1960, Janet Long is a Warlpiri speaker whose traditional country is Wantapari. Her aunts May and Molly Napurrula showed her the body paint designs for Wantapari Dreaming. She began painting on small boards in 1989 when the Willowra store first began stocking paint and canvas to supply local artists. Her half brother, Malcolm Jagamara , showed her how to paint in the new medium. On canvas, she paints Frog, Snake, Orphan Child and Witchetty Grub Dreamings. Janet Long was the Literacy Worker at Willowra School, producing bi-lingual literature for use in the teaching program. To that point, she had lived all her life in Willowra, but her bi-lingualism and skill in dealing with western systems were increasingly drawing her into wider contacts, including research assistance in the gathering of biographical data on the Willowra artists for this dictionary.

According to those who know her, this is done in a quite conscious sense of pan-Aboriginal pride. She works in the pre-school at Lajamanu.

Biography
Perth-based artist Valda Kickett-Taylor is of the Noongar Balladong people of the central wheat-belt region of Western Australia. She was born in 1960 in Kellerberrin, which is approximately 200 kilometres east of Perth. Kickett-Taylor’s elder siblings were removed from the family home and placed into state care and it is this story and the story of her parents’ suffering as a result that informs some of her work. Other influences include stories of Aboriginal survival in the 20th century. She first began painting when she enrolled in a three-year art course at Midland College of TAFE, which she followed with a Diploma in Aboriginal Visual Arts at the TAFE and an Associate Degree in Aboriginal Art at Curtin University of Technology. In 2009 Kickett-Taylor enrolled in the Certificate III course in Visual Art and Contemporary Craft at the Kidogo Institute in Fremantle, which was run by Joanna Robertson. This course provides the students with the necessary technical skills required to further their visual art practice, and in June 2009 the students of this course held a group exhibition, 'Moorditj Mob’, at the Kidogo Arthouse. Kickett-Taylor is also a member of Mungart Boodja Art Centre based in Katanning, Western Australia. In 2006, 2007 and 2008 Kickett-Taylor was included in the Moorditch Mar-Daa Art Award and in 2000 was Highly Commended at the inaugural Kellerberrin Shire Keela Dreaming Cultural Festival, a bi-annual event celebrating Aboriginal culture. In April/May 2009 Kickett-Taylor’s work was included in the exhibition 'The Legacy of Koorah Coolingah (The Legend of Children Long Ago)’ held at the Brisbane Powerhouse. This exhibition showed twenty-five paintings by the original Carrolup children artists plus around twenty-five new works of artists from Mungart Boodja Art Centre who follow the Carrolup tradition.Kickett-Taylor has work in the permanent collections of the Berndt Museum of Anthropology (University of Western Australia) and the Centre for Aboriginal Studies at Curtin University of Technology.

Birth Place
Dubbo, NSW, Australia
Biography
Michael Riley, Wiradjuri/Kamilaroi photographer and film maker, was born in Dubbo in 1960 and spent his early childhood on the Talbragar Reserve. Riley was the second of Allen Riley and Dorothy Wright’s four children, the others being his older brother David and his two younger sisters, Carol and Wendy. Talbragar Reserve had been established just east of the town of Dubbo in 1898 on Wiradjuri land, land with which Riley’s father’s family had been affiliated for many generations. The Rileys were one of the last families to leave Talbragar Reserve, and Michael was seven or eight when his family moved into Dubbo. His mother was of Kamilaroi descent, and her parents, Bengalla and Maude Wright, were caretakers at the Moree Aboriginal Reserve. Riley’s childhood in Dubbo was interspersed with regular visits to Moree to spend time with his mother’s extended family.When Riley was sixteen he moved to Sydney to begin a carpentry course and he was to remain there for the rest of his life. As Brenda L Croft writes: “In Sydney, Michael initially lived in Granville, meeting people who became not only lifelong friends, but his surrogate family: Linda Burney, brother and sister John and Raelene Delany, Dallas Clayton and David Prosser. Here, too, he created enduring bonds with true family, including cousins Lynette Riley-Mundine, Cathy Craigie, Maria (Polly) Cutmore, Ian 'Yurry’ Craigie, Craig Jamieson and others” (2006 Croft, p26). In 1987 Riley moved in with Burney and his cousins Lynette and Craig in Leichhardt.In 1982 Riley enrolled in a photography course with Bruce Hart at Tin Sheds Gallery at the University of Sydney. Hart provided vital guidance and encouragement at this early stage, and subsequently employed Riley as a darkroom and studio technician at the Sydney College of the Arts. Riley’s photographic practice preceded this training however: in his early teens he had bought a 'Box Brownie’ camera and a home-developing kit and had developed his own photographs – of family, friends and landscapes – in his bedroom wardrobe. Riley initially pursued a humanist style of documentary photography, producing stills of Aboriginal people from the Redfern community, playing and watching the local football and participating in street marches. He also took a number of chic black and white portraits of Aboriginal women in the style of fashion photography. In a 2003 conversation with Hetti Perkins, Riley said of his early photographic works: “At that time I was interested in representing Aboriginal people in a different way to the negative images of Aboriginal people in the media. I’d decided to do portraits of young urban Aboriginal people in the 1980s who were doing their own thing, mixing into society, trying to break the stereotype of who Aboriginal people are.” (in 2008 Jones, p111).One of Riley’s first group exhibitions was the seminal 'Koori Art '84’, coordinated by Tim and Vivien Johnson at Artspace in Sydney. Two years later he participated in the 'NADOC ’86 group exhibition of Aboriginal and Islander Photographers’ at the Aboriginal Artists Gallery, Sydney. The first to be wholly dedicated to Aboriginal photography, this exhibition was co-curated by Tracey Moffatt and Anthony (Ace) Bourke, the latter of whom would later represent Riley at Hogarth Galleries. The work Maria (1986), an image of Michael’s cousin Maria (Polly) Cutmore, was bought by the Australian photographer Max Dupain at the NADOC ’86 exhibition.In 1987 Riley co-founded the Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Cooperative in Chippendale with nine other Sydney-based Indigenous artists. A training position at Film Australia in that year made it possible for him to write and direct the film Boomalli: Five Artists, which documented the emerging practice of five of the Boomalli founders: Bronwyn Bancroft, Fiona Foley, Jeffrey Samuels, Arone Raymond Meeks and Tracey Moffatt. The following year Riley directed another documentary: Dreamings, the art of Aboriginal Australia, which accompanied the landmark Aboriginal art exhibition of the same name which was shown at the Asia Society Galleries in New York in 1988.The spirit and subject of Riley’s projects of the 1980s and early 1990s are a reflection of his involvement in the vibrant Indigenous activist movements of the time. In the years immediately prior to Australia’s bicentenary in 1988 Riley was one of several Indigenous and non-Indigenous photographers who worked to create a wide ranging photo-essay documenting Indigenous Australian life across the country. The project, coordinated by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies, culminated in the publication After 200 years: photographs of Aboriginal and Islander Australia today (1988). A number of works that Riley had created among communities in Leeton, New South Wales, and Robinvale, Victoria – communities he visited with fellow Indigenous photographer Alana Harris – were included in the publication. In their affirmation of the resilience of Indigenous Australians, these works contributed a counter-narrative to the national celebration of 200 years of white settlement. Closely connected to the Indigenous political movements of the 1980s was the emergence of a dynamic and ambitious artistic fraternity of urban-based Indigenous artists, playwrights, actors, dancers, poets and curators. The Boomalli Aboriginal Artist’s Cooperative was one manifestation of the networks and collectives that came into being at this time, and another was the Black Playwrights Conference. In 1989 the Aboriginal National Theatre Trust commissioned Riley to document the conference; for this he was assisted by fellow Boomalli founder Brenda L. Croft. The footage created became part of the collection of the Aboriginal National Theatre Trust, and later the collection of the State Library of NSW. His 1990 series Portraits by a window, which was his first solo exhibition at Hogarth Galleries, included portraits of established political figures Charles Perkins and Joseph Croft, and captured in the early stages of the careers of Indigenous artists and curators such as Tracey Moffatt, Brenda L. Croft (daughter of Joseph Croft), Hetti Perkins (daughter of Charlie Perkins) and Djon Mundine. Mundine had just conceived the Aboriginal Memorial installation of hollow log coffins made by artists from Ramingining in Arnhem Land, a response to the Bicentennary celebrations of 1988 (collection of the National Gallery of Australia). Riley’s sensitivity to the disadvantage and social justice issues that marked the lives of members of the Redfern Aboriginal community informed the creation of the experimental film Poison in 1991. According to Croft, Riley had read a Rolling Stone magazine article titled 'Seven little Australians’ which told the story of a cluster of heroin overdoses amongst teenage Aboriginal girls in Redfern, many of whom Riley knew (2006 National Gallery of Australia website). Among the actors in the film were Lydia Miller, Rhoda Roberts, Lillian Crombie and the late Russell Page, all of who went on to establish careers in the arts.From the early 1990s Riley’s work became preoccupied with revisiting and reappraising the spaces of his early childhood; the landscapes of rural New South Wales, the family body of which he was a part, and the way both had been shaped by the forces of colonisation. A common place: portraits of Moree Murries (1991) was the first of a series of projects in which Riley reflected upon his family’s experiences on missions and reserves. This series consisted of understated, subtly emotive black and white shots of family members set against a worn cloth backdrop. It was exhibited at Hogarth Galleries in 1991, the Rebecca Hossack Gallery in London in 1993, and some works from the series were included in the landmark 'Aratjara: Art of the First Australians’ exhibition which toured to galleries in Europe in 1993 and 1994. In 1998 Riley created portraits of members of the Dubbo community in the sister series Yarns from Talbragar Reserve (1998), which was exhibited at Dubbo Regional Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1999. Both series evoke the pathos of rural mission and reserve life by honouring the hardiness, humour and familial solidarity of the subjects, portraying as worthy of empathy and recognition people whose stories have been marginal to those conventionally celebrated as characteristic of the national ethos and character. Other projects from the 1990s were similarly reflective, with Riley using images and scenes that were evocative of childhood memories as a backdrop for the exploration of themes of loss, ruin and death. At this stage, Riley sought to bring an enigmatic quality to his works by using abstract symbolism, creating strange atmospheres and generating emotional resonances that were often ambivalent. The 1993 autobiographical film Quest for country, made in the year that he established Blackfella Films with Rachel Perkins (daughter of Charles Perkins and sister of Hetti Perkins), narrated his return to his ancestral country in the regions of Dubbo and Moree and his impressions of how that country has been marked by the massacres of Aboriginal people and the ruinous environmental impact of farming. The photographic series Sacrifice (1992) consisted of a constellation of metaphorical and allegorical images that expressed a critical and interrogative engagement with the impact of mission life and questioned the nature of the sacrifice Aboriginal people had made in order to be accepted into colonial society. Stylistically, Sacrifice marked a departure from studio-style or real life settings and a movement towards a more conceptual approach to the form. As he says of the series in an interview with David Burnett, it reflects “on that period of time when people did sort of start to lose things, you know, because of the assimilation process and … the government [was] trying to put people on reserves to be good Christian Aboriginal people” (2002 National Gallery of Australia website). Sacrifice was his third solo exhibition at Hogarth Galleries in Sydney; it was acquired by the National Gallery of Australia. The 1997 film Empire, which was commissioned by Rhoda Roberts for the Festival of the Dreaming, and the photographic series flyblown (1998) drew on landscape and Christian imagery to further explore the degradation of Aboriginal land and society by white settlement and the Christian faith, but also to affirm the endurance of Aboriginal spirituality. flyblown was toured to the 1999 Venice Biennale by Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi as part of an al latere exhibition at the Palazzo Papadopoli of Indigenous photomedia artists titled 'Beyond Myth – Oltre Il Mito’. The other artists in this exhibition were Brook Andrew, Brenda L. Croft, Destiny Deacon and Leah King-Smith. The 1990s also saw Riley make a number of documentary films for the ABC. Among these were Blacktracker (1996), a biographical film about his grandfather, Alexander Riley, who had been a highly regarded tracker in the NSW Police Force between 1911 and 1950. Alexander Riley was the first Aboriginal person in NSW to be made a Sergeant and in 1943 he was awarded the King’s Medal. Tent Boxers (1998) was another documentary made for the ABC. This film related the experiences of Indigenous men who had toured with country fairs and circuses as amateur boxers in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. In 1995 Riley was commissioned to create a permanent video installation, Eora, for the Museum of Sydney, which was dedicated to the original owners of the Sydney region. In 1998, Riley was diagnosed with renal failure: his immune system had never quite recovered from a case of rheumatic fever he’d suffered as a child. He continued to produce work, however his art practice was often interrupted by periods of time spent in hospital. In 1999 the Art Gallery of NSW commissioned the film I don’t wanna be a bludger for the 'Living here now: Art and Politics’ Australian Perspecta. The film, which Riley made with fellow Indigenous photographer and film-maker Destiny Deacon, was a satirical take on prevailing stereotypes of Aboriginal people. Riley’s last series of works, Cloud (2000), was the first in which he made use of digital manipulation. The recurring preoccupations with Christianity and Aboriginal spirituality, childhood memory, the spaces and animals of rural New South Wales, and the resilience of Indigenous Australia found expression in these minimalist images of lone, symbolic figures – including a boomerang, feather, locust and bible – suspended in an expansive blue sky feathered with cloud. This series marked a turning point for Riley’s international reputation: it was shown at the 2002 Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art at the Queensland Art Gallery and was awarded the grand prize in the 11th Asian Art Biennial in Bangladesh. In 2003 Cloud was also selected for 'Poetic Justice: 8th International Istanbul Biennale’ along with the film Empire. In 2004 Riley was one of eight Indigenous Australian artists selected to be part of the Australian Indigenous Art Commission, which coordinated the permanent installation of their artworks and designs within the interior and exterior architectural spaces of the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, opened in 2006. Besides Riley, the other artists included in the commission were Judy Watson, Paddy Bedford, John Mawurndjul, Ningura Naparrula, Lena Nyadbi, Tommy Watson and Gulumbu Yunupingu. These artist’s works were all enlarged and adapted to different media appropriate for the space. In Riley’s case, scaled up, laminated glass images from the Cloud series are now situated behind windows in one of the Museum’s buildings at street level. Riley passed away in 2004. The National Gallery of Australia’s retrospective Michael Riley: sights unseen toured nationally between 2006 and 2008.

Birth Place
Manly, New South Wales, Australia
Biography
EARLY YEARSJane Ann Cooper Bennett was born at Manly on Sydney’s northern beaches in 1960. She was named after her great-grandmother who had been born ninety nine years earlier in Premnay, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. William and Jane Cooper, Bennett’s great-grandparents, had emigrated to Australia in the first decade of the twentieth century. After World War I the family income was primarily derived from its commercial activities in Manly. In 1919 William opened a small kiosk selling umbrellas and he gradually expanded this business until it was a significant department store which traded as William Cooper and Sons. By the 1930s 'Coopers of the Corso’ was an icon of the Sydney retail shopping scene. William died in 1939 but the business continued to flourish under the management of Bennett’s grandfather, Douglas. After 46 years of trading, however, it was sold in 1965, a victim of the new retail trend characterised by American-style shopping malls. Bennett’s parents married in 1959 but divorced prior to her birth and her father played no further role in her life. She was raised by her mother and grandparents in the family home at Seaforth which was situated on a steep hill known as The Bluff. The house commanded sweeping views of Middle Harbour and possessed terraced gardens carved into the landscape. A particular feature of the house was its large library crowded from floor to ceiling and on all four walls with books on subjects as diverse as art, astronomy, mythology, humour, poetry and ancient history as well as detective stories and classic fiction. As a member of a family of insatiable readers, Bennett approached adulthood with the clear knowledge that art did not exist in isolation but was inextricably intertwined with all other topics of study and fields of endeavour. STUDYBennett has always possessed a deep love of art and her creative passion was evident from a very early age. There was never any doubt that she would become an artist. She attended Mackellar Girls High School at Manly Vale from 1973 to 1976. Despite the certainty of her future as an artist she did not study art as a subject. Bennett dismissed the curriculum at Mackellar as useless and typified by plaster of Paris and masonite works daubed with bold 1970s colour. She decided to study History instead, which at least provided context to some of the information she would subsequently need to know. Her final two years of secondary education were at Ku-ring-gai High School at North Turramurra. In 1996 permission was sought, and later granted, for it to become a selective school for students of the creative arts but even when Bennett attended from 1977 to 1978 it had a reputation for encouraging creativity in its students. Unfortunately the brand of creativity at that time was mostly confined to ceramics and weaving, both of which Jane loathed intensely. She battled with the art teachers for permission to submit a painting as her Higher School Certificate major work as there was then a commonly held belief that paintings were too common to achieve the best possible marks. In 1979 she enrolled at the Alexander Mackie College of Advanced Education attaining a Diploma of Fine Arts in 1982 followed by a Graduate Diploma in Art Studies the following year. The School of Art at Alexander Mackie was renamed City Art Institute in 1983, and was eventually reborn as College of Fine Arts (COFA) in 1990. EMPLOYMENTInitially Bennett accepted teaching positions in community centres and colleges such as Waverley Art Centre and Hornsby Evening College. Throughout the 1980s she also taught art classes at Macquarie University and briefly at Seaforth TAFE . Teaching encouraged her to become more analytical in respect of her own art, rather than merely drawing and painting instinctively. Whilst not wishing to diminish the importance of instinct and spontaneity Bennett appreciated that professional artists also needed to experiment, develop technique and gain mastery of colour, perspective and composition. Her penchant for plein air painting often resulted in much time and energy being devoted to talking to the public. Teaching classes after painting began to be too exhausting so by 1992 she ceased teaching to concentrate on full-time art creation. PLEIN AIR PAINTING'Plein air’ is a French term meaning 'open air’. Its usage in the art world refers to the practise of painting outdoors. Although artists have always painted outdoors, in 1824 John Constable, an English landscape painter, exhibited a series of works at the Salon in Paris. These paintings depicted rural scenes in natural light; nature as the focus not merely the background. Such plein air works are generally credited as influencing the Barbizon school painters of the mid nineteenth century in France who in turn were influential in the development of Impressionism. In Australia the Heidelberg School art movement of the late nineteenth century was to influence much of the Australian art that followed. The artists associated with the movement painted plein air in the impressionist tradition and were inspired by the beauty and light of the bush landscapes in Melbourne’s north-eastern suburbs and the Yarra River which flowed through them. Bennett does not paint in a studio from sketches and photographs but has always preferred painting from life. Her ability to glimpse the underlying spirit of a subject and to convey senses beyond just sight, require her to experience these first hand before they can be captured on paper or canvas. In a career spanning more than 30 years she has become artistically adaptive and learned to conquer the logistical challenges of painting in wet, windy or dangerous environments. Such challenges still motivate and stimulate Bennett today. INDUSTRIAL AND MARITIME HERITAGEBennett is best known for her work recording Sydney’s disappearing industrial and maritime heritage. She has built a significant body of work portraying iconic sites, structures and vessels. The scale and bulk of her subjects are impressive and are frequently combined with a majestic but melancholy stillness. When Bennett does paint movement it is generally slow, even and measured. She really nails the sad solitude of disuse whether it’s a brewery, hotel, rail yard, silo, power station, wharf or ship and whether it’s at dawn or dusk or under a vibrant blue sky.

Biography
Narelle Jubelin first studied Art Education at the Alexander Mackie College of Advanced Education in Paddington, Sydney. In 1985, noticing the difficulties young artists has in finding somewhere to exhibit their work she(along with Roger Crawford, Tess Horwitz and Paul Saint)founded the artists’ cooperative, First Draft. This is now the longest continual artist run initiative in Australia, as it continues to transfer responsibilities to successive generations of young artists. Her meticulous miniature images in petit point soon attracted critical attention and in 1990 she was selected for the Aperto section of the Venice Biennale, curated by Giovanni Carandente. In 1996 she relocated to Madrid, where she lives with the architect, Marcos Corrales Lantero, who has often collaborated with her on display structures. In 2001 the Powerhouse Museum (Ann Stephen) commissioned a new work entitled Legacies in transit as a companion piece to Jubelin’s earlier Legacies of Travel and Trade 1990 in which she explored European perceptions of China through petit-point renditions of four photographs in the Powerhouse Museum taken by the professional photographer Hedda Hammer Morrison, who had worked in China in the 1930s and 1940s (later she came to Australia). This work rendered three family snaps from the Rosenzweig Shanghai albums in petit-point, framed them in found bone and wood frames and set them amongst a Shanghai version of Monopoly ('Shanghai Millionaire’) in which, for example, prestigious Mayfair is renamed 'The Bund’. The board belonged to Herta Imhof, née Rosenzweig, who in 1939, aged three, escaped Nazi-occupied Vienna with her Jewish family and settled in Shangai China where an open-door immigration policy provided a haven for successive generations of refugees. In 2020 she participated in the Taking Care Project at the Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món Writers: Staff Writer Joanna Mendelssohn Date written: 1999 Last updated: 2020

Biography
Artist and architect Peter Poulet was born in May 1960 in Sydney, NSW, to Russian immigrant parents Eugene and Natalie Poulet. His interest in painting and drawing since childhood led Poulet to study architecture at the University of Sydney between 1979 and 1984, where he gained a Bachelor of Science (Architecture) and a Bachelor of Architecture. It was during these years that Poulet became interested in sustainability, ultimately leading to his serving on the Royal Australian Institute of Architects NSW Chapter Council’s 'Sustainability and Education Committee’. Remarkably, Poulet’s final thesis for his degree at university was comprised of a group of paintings. These paintings would later be recommended by Marr Grounds, senior lecturer of architecture, to Frank Watters of Watters Gallery in East Sydney. In 1986, the Watters Gallery hosted Poulet’s first exhibition of works which explored themes of the urban/built environment and its imposition on the natural world. After finishing study in 1984 and graduating in 1985, Poulet worked for some private architectural firms before taking an architect post in the NSW Government Architect’s Office. He remained there from 1985 until 1987. In 1988, having been awarded the prestigious Monobusho Japanese Government Fellowship with a focus on the study of Japanese art and architecture, Poulet travelled to Japan to undertake postgraduate study in architecture at the University of Tokyo. He was enrolled there for two years before working with Japanese architect Toyo Ito. Poulet’s time in Japan and working with Ito encouraged him to engage with architecture as an art form. In 1989, having returned to Sydney to be with his partner Elizabeth Hogan, who was pregnant with their first child, Poulet resumed his position at the Government Architect’s Office and was later appointed Assistant Government Architect. Since his first exhibition, Poulet has been a well-received and prolific artist. He has shown his work regularly at the Watters Gallery and since his 2007 show at Christine Abrahams Gallery has been represented in Melbourne too. He was also honoured as Artist in Residence at Bundanon in 1999 and at the New England Regional Art Museum in 2002. His work is held in the collections of the major law firms Allen Arthur Robinson and Baker & McKenzie, and also in the University of New South Wales, Artbank, the Manly Hydraulics Laboratory, and the Bundanon Trust. Poulet’s abstract paintings use colour, fluidity of line, and the juxtaposition of forms to create new environments. His work is influenced by nature and natural phenomenon – light, air, the feeling of space, enclosure and human interaction with nature – giving his art an organic sentiment. His body of work has evolved to explore more complex relationships between objects and forms as he brings in more from the outside world into his pieces. Introduced elements reflect his ideas about the world and include thoughts that were present from the earliest works, thus maintaining continuity of influence and motivation – nature and expression of his feelings and emotions. This awareness of nature is also crucial to his architecture and his interest in sustainability. Throughout his life, there has been a constant sense of exchange between his architectural and art practices. He credits his architectural training with giving him the discipline to work to a deadline and still be inventive and creative. Similarly, his art contributes greatly to his practice of architecture giving him inspiration and a more painterly approach to his design. Although historically his art and architecture have occupied very different places there appears to be a convergence occurring. This was exemplified by the Concrete House for the 'Houses of the Future’ exhibition for sustainable design in 2005, where he used his painting to bring out the free form of the design. Poulet lives in Sydney, NSW, with his wife Elizabeth and their five children.

Biography
Ruark Lewis is a Sydney-based visual artist and writer. He works in a wide range of media such as painting, drawing, installation, artists-books, performance, public art, theatre and audio-video works. Lewis was born in Sydney in 1960 and attended Sydney Boys High School. While there he became interested in pottery. When he was eighteen Lewis suffered permanent spinal injury as a result of a motor-vehicle accident. Lewis’s formal art studies were in ceramics at the Sydney College of the Arts. During this period he came under the influence of avant-garde composer, David Ahern, and became interested in an experimental realm that explored the relation between language, sound and art. Under Ahern’s encouragement, Lewis moved away from ceramics and began to pursue painting and drawing. Lewis also met and befriended the influential modernist Sydney architect, Bill Lucas. He was attracted as much by Lucas’s minimalist use of structural design as by Lucas’s utopian belief of the architect as a maker of prototypes, from which society could adopt and evolve. Lewis’s newfound interest in language, art and design found a significant outlet for expression in his first professional position, that of a Curator of poetry readings at the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) which he held between 1984 and 1988. During this period the repertoire for readings quickly expanded into a forum that combined traditional poetic text with music, film, dance and radio. In addition to the forum providing an outlet to explore interdisciplinary connections, it brought Lewis into the orbit of young artists, composers, poets and filmmakers such as Martin Harrison, Chris Mann, John Gillies and Ania Walwicz. The curatorial role also fostered in the artist an awareness of the possible intersections between radical modes of creative experimentation, a regionally attuned avant-garde culture and a genuinely broad public audience. Between 1987 and 1989, Lewis produced his first solo exhibitions in Sydney – entitled 'Transcription Drawings’. The works at these exhibitions are abstractionist in form and present transcriptions of sound and music. The drawings trace not simply the sound itself, but the artist’s embodied translation of that experience. This process, and the performative history it records, is central to understanding Lewis’s art. At the end of the 1980s and during the early 1990s, Lewis spent much of his time in Melbourne where he again became immersed in a rich creative milieu of writers, artists and composers. These included Rainer Linz, Warren Burt, Alex Selenitsch and Paul Carter. Evidence of the dialogues and exchanges of this world can be found in the publication, New Music Articles(NMA), the ABC Radio program, The Listening Room and the Age Monthly Review. During this period Lewis developed the sound transcription principles of his Sydney exhibitions but on a larger scale, this time using the work of the composer, Robert Douglas. He also examined setting Paul Carter’s radiophonic piece, Mirror States. Although the project remains unrealised, it did enable Lewis to collaborate with Bill Lucas on design, sound and installation techniques which he would carry over into his later work. Alongside sound and performance, the growing influence of literary text found expression in a series of transcriptions based on the French newspaper, Le Monde. Lewis worked in Paris as Artist in Residence at the Cite Internationale des Arts in 1991 where he began work with the documentarian, Kaye Mortley on a translation of Natalie Sarraute’s play, Pour en Oui Pour en Non. The Douglas and Le Monde Transcription Drawings were exhibited as a solo show as well as part of the Melbourne Festival in 1992. The collaboration with Mortley and Sarraute eventually led to the publication of Lewis’s artist-book Just For Nothing in 1997, a work notable for the use of colour-coding as its design principle. Lewis’s most significant collaboration during this decade was with the writer, artist and thinker, Paul Carter. Lewis had long been attracted to Carter’s idea of “spatial history”, first proposed in Carter’s highly influential book, The Road to Botany Bay(1987), which sought to give voice to the multidimensional histories Carter saw as integral to the act of place-making in a post-colonial migrant Australia. An opportunity to work with Carter came in an extended multilayered translation on the work of the Central Australian Lutheran Missionary, Carl Strehlow and his son, T. G. H. (Ted) Strehlow, a poet and linguist. EntitledRaft, Lewis and Carter meditated through installation, drawing, text and sound the multilingual, bicultural and migrant legacy of the lives of father and son. Lewis designed a lattice-like structure comprised of wooden beams upon which are stenciled 24, 696 characters in the 6 languages familiar to the Strehlows (Greek, Latin, German, English, Arrernte and Diyari). The raft is also a reference to Carl Strehlow’s harrowing death in Central Australia in 1922, which his son memorialised in the autobiographical narrative, Journey to Horseshoe Bend (1969), a pivotal work for Lewis personally, who has found in Strehlow’s tragic allegory a structural density faithful to the fractured, layered histories of postcolonial Australia. In addition to what Carter has described as the “craft of translation”, Lewis produced a series of Water Drawings which disguise the Strehlows’ translated versions of Western Arrernte Rain Songs eventually compiled in Ted Strehlow’s landmark Songs of Central Australia(1978). Raft has been exhibited in Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, the United Kingdom and Germany. Carter and Lewis produced a book, Depth of Translation (1999), which reflects on their collaboration and its significance in the wider context of Australian cross-cultural history. A second project with Carter, Relay (1999), was one of a number of public artworks commissioned by the Olympic Coordination Authority to commemorate the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. The project provided Lewis with a new opportunity to explore the intersection of poetic text, public design and history. For this work he developed the colour-coding design principle first expressed in Just For Nothing. Relay is a prose poem engraved into the granite steps at Fig Grove and refers to four points in Olympic history: the 1986 games at Athens, Melbourne in 1956, Sydney in 2000 and a future games. Each point is colour-coded as a tier and the poem is accompanied by thirty graffiti clusters derived from the handwriting of renowned Australian Olympians. During the 1990s Lewis developed his transcription drawing practice into a distinctive mode of concrete poetry with civic applications. This has been achieved through a range of collaborative and solo exhibitions, books, essays and public installations. A particularly important collaboration has been with the composer, Rainer Linz. In Banalities for the Perfect House(2005) Lewis and Linz created a series of performance texts which Lewis gathered from everyday sources such as newspapers, overheard conversation and cookery books. The origins of Banalities can be found in Lewis’s 1998 work, Untitled, created for the SBS TV program, Eat Carpet. The concept was later developed as a theatre piece, Banalities/Banalitäten,performed at the Berlin Poetry Festival in 2003. Here Lewis collaborated with the dancer, Jutta Hell and choreographer, Dieter Baumann to explore the intersection of Lewis’s spoken text and Hall’s dance. In the hands of Lewis and Linz Banalities moved in another direction, extending the polyvocal text designs of Raft and Just For Nothing into the realm of architecture and sound. The texts were inscribed on a variety of surfaces and then installed in wooden frames to create transitional house-like structures one might encounter on a construction-site. The spaces were then further rendered through the performance of Lewis’s readings from the transcribed texts and Linz’s sound work which was processed in real time through multiple computers and loudspeakers systems. Banalities for the Perfect House was installed at various sites including the Performance Space. In 2008 Lewis and Linz were commissioned to create a public art installation in Canada for the Toronto Nuit Blanche Festival. Lewis devised a sound poem in the form of 550 coloured oil drums. Letters were inscribed onto the drums which were then stacked to form an industrial wall across a street. A sound composition was designed to accompany the poetic text which would unfold during the 12-hour period ('wake’) between dusk and dawn. Named Euphemisms for the Intimate Enemy, Lewis and Linz drew on the theoretical writings of the Indian postcolonial writer, Ashis Nandy. Since 2001 Lewis has formed a collaborative relationship with the Sydney Indigenous artist, Jonathan Jones. The two became friends when initially commissioned to create a group installation, Reckonings, which explored Aboriginal-European ideas about reconciliation. Lewis and Jones have since worked on a number of large-scale projects that have fused the materials – text, environmental surfaces and lights – which now characterise their respectively distinctive creative signatures. In Homeland Illuminations (2007), Lewis fashioned a series of rectangular boards upon which were stenciled a transcribed text of Jones’s grandfather’s trade as a wool classer. These boards were then illuminated with Jones’ fluorescent lights. In the same year Lewis and Jones worked on a site-specific show alongside the poet, Amanda Stewart and composer, Rik Rue at Singapore’s Post-Museum, 'Index of Kindness’, in which they hung flags with superimposed fragmentary text drawn from the work of Sarraute and Nandy respectively and positioned throughout the gallery painted objects, often based on discovered pieces of garbage in streets and beaches. In these collaborations Lewis tabulated the interstices of everyday exchange, while revealing the ingrained relation between silence and conversation, orality and print, movement and stillness. The inscrutable richness of such mundane yet richly elusive zones has provided Lewis with a plethora of forums to explore in his own writings. Following the transcriptions of Natalie Sarraute in 1997, he turned to the poetry of the Austrian post-war poet, Ingeborg Bachmann, illustrating a newly translated volume of her poems, Days in White (2003). The volume was translated by Angelika Fremd who had also worked as translator on Raft and Banalitaten. In his sound-poetry book False Narratives (2006), in which he again collaborated with Rainer Linz, Lewis engaged with the conventions of everyday language and speech to create a set of printed cards and lithographs that assemble stories into a concrete poem that can be rearranged by audiences. False Narratives was exhibited in Milan, Adelaide and Auckland. As with the artist’s earlier transcriptions, False Narratives negotiates the landscape of text, history, sound and performance and in so doing produces a new understanding of the original source. Like so much of that corpus of work, the final result is a densely patterned narrative that escapes the representational while balancing the linear and non-linear. Lewis has more recently explored two interrelated areas. The first concerns his interest in creating environmentally integrated works. This is evident in the 2007 installation, Banalities for the Perfect House, which was created for the artist-run-initiative named SLOT in Redfern. For this project Lewis created a 7-metre high facade on the front of a building, upon which was stenciled the reassembled everyday stories of the community. The SLOT project points to the second of his current concerns: the relationship between transcription and local history. In 2009 Lewis created what he described as an “ephemeral public art installation” called Housing the Seafaring Nation. Three installation sites using billboards and stenciled text were created at Millers Point and attached to the facades of public buildings, including the National Trust Building at Observatory Hill. The texts are storyboards that originate from interviews and conversations with local people. Taken together, these sites re-inscribe Millers Point as the oldest continuing urban community in European-Australian history, one in danger of losing its public housing history to the interests of private development. In this and other contemporary projects Lewis’s longstanding engagement with the intersections between regional creative experimentation and a genuinely broad public interface can be said to have assumed a heightened level of urgency. In addition to his own publications, Lewis has attracted the attention of various commentators. Most recently, an essay on the making of Relay has appeared in Paul Carter’s book, Dark Writing (2009). Lewis’s work is held in numerous national and international collections including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris, the Kunstbibliothek, Berlin, The British Library, the State Library of New South Wales, the National Library of Australia and Wollongong City Gallery. Lewis has lectured at the Sydney College of the Arts and is currently Convenor of Visual Arts and Performance at the Institute of Postcolonial Studies in Melbourne.

Biography
Athol Farmer was born in Gnowangerup, in the Great Southern region in Western Australia, in 1960. Farmer spent most of his early life in Gnowangerup, finishing school there and working on farms in the area. He was inspired by the Noongar children artists who created paintings and drawings while living at the Carrolup Native Settlement in the late 1940s and early 1950s. As a child, Farmer had observed Bella Kelly and Revel Cooper – both artists associated with the Carrolup settlement – make their work, and Farmer’s own work has been greatly influenced by the Carrolup 'style’. In the book Koorah Coolingah (Children Long Ago) , Farmer states: “The Carrolup style is to me a way of looking back. It’s important because it is part of our history. It is a way of capturing the essence of the Noongar people, their way of life, a visual means of expressing our connection with the land” (2006, pg 79).In 1990, Farmer undertook an art course at TAFE in Katanning and he held his first solo exhibition in Katanning in 1992. The following year he was artist in residence at Hay Street Gallery, Perth. In 2006 he held the solo show 'Carrolup Connections’ at the Mungart Boodja Art Centre in Katanning, and in the same year he, along with his nephew Peter Farmer and Leonard (Jack) Williams, was commissioned by Curtin University to create a ceremonial wooden 'doak’ (a traditional Noongar hunting and digging tool that was used across several generations of a Noongar family) for use on formal occasions at the University. In 2007 Farmer travelled to Colgate University in New York to view a large collection of Carrolup paintings that had been unearthed at the University’s Picker Art Gallery in 2004, works that had entered the collection decades before. During Farmer’s visit, his own works were included in an exhibition staged at the Picker Art Gallery titled 'Palimpsest: Noongar Art Past and Present’ (2007). The following year he exhibited alongside Troy Bennell and Graham Taylor in 'Noongar Boodja: Contemporary Aboriginal Art, Ecology and Culture’ at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art in New York. In 2009 Farmer participated in the 'Noongar Country’ exhibition at Bunbury Regional Art Galleries. Writers: Fisher, Laura Date written: 2009 Last updated: 2011

Biography
Robert Bleyerveen; AKA @Robsuite majored in Painting and studied Printmaking at the Canberra School of Art, graduating in 1982. He held his first solo show at the Artist Collective, Bitumen River Gallery, Manuka ACT in 1983, followed by many solo and group exhibitions. His works have been installed into public spaces and reviewed in published critiques. Bleyerveen engages with historical and contemporary conversations on cultural identity, exploring an intimate engagement through changing perspectives and attitudes. Drawing on his ancestral connections and with our growing Indigenous understandings, he’s sustained a close relationship with Canberra. Showing his art in alternative arts venues, ‘On Lonsdale St’ 2001-07 engaged with the revitalisation of Braddon. His exhibition ‘Both Sides of The Fence’ 2017 explored Aboriginal, convict and settler history of Belconnen. ‘Neither Here nor There’ focused on our shared Indigenous pathways to the coast. Since 2005 he’s developed his well- known Winyu Sun series based on our local native grasslands. Although continuing to battle nerve injuries in both arms, his exhibition ‘Treading Lightly in One Place’ (M16 artspace 2019) turned these physical constraints into a positive opportunity for deeper awareness and sense of discovery within his arts practice. His works merge our stories and histories together, resonating with our unique natural environment, to celebrate our connections to place, and relationship with each other.

Biography
Vicki Couzens, born in 1960, is a member of the Kirrae Wurrong and Gunditjmara clans of western Victoria. Couzens’ work encompasses a range of media, including painting, installation, mixed media, sculpture, printmaking, public art and possum skin cloak making. All of her art practice is a means to connect with aspects of her Indigenous heritage and to explore her sense of belonging to family, ancestors and country. Materials are selected for their potential to be interpreted as repositories of Indigenous experience so as to honour aspects of Indigenous history that have been suppressed by colonial paradigms, and affirm the continuity of Indigenous identity. In the catalogue for the “? Lost & Found” exhibition, Couzens states that 'the retrieval, revival and re-use of our language is an important part of our cultural regeneration as a People’, and her exhibition and artwork titles are often in the Kirrae Wurrong language.’ (2001, p.11).Her work has often been informed by sustained periods of research with clan elders and within museum archives. A defining moment in Couzens’ artistic career took place in 1999 when she and fellow Indigenous artist Lee Darroch participated in a printmaking workshop in Melbourne. During a visit to Museum Victoria, the artists were shown two possum skin cloaks that had been acquired from Lake Condah and Maiden’s Punt (Echuca) in the 19th Century. Lake Condah is part of the artist’s country, and Couzens said of the experience '...to see the cloak so close up – it was really awesome, it was really tangible. It was just like a loop to your ancestors and you could almost hear them whispering…’ (Reynolds, 2005:4). Traditionally possum skin cloaks were highly individualised, and as Amanda Reynolds writes in Wrapped in a Possum Skin Cloak (2005), the designs that were incised upon the insides of the cloaks 'symbolised country, geographical features and the wearer’s clan and tribal affiliations’ (2005, p. 13). Used for warmth, as baby carriers and as drums during ceremony (where they would be stretched across the knees of seated women), they were considered so much a part of a person’s life that when people died they were buried wrapped in their cloaks. After seeing the 19th century cloaks, Couzens and Darroch, along with Vicki’s sister Debra Couzens and fellow Victorian Indigenous artist Treanha Hamm , decided to revive the making of possum skin cloaks, and set out to create reproductions of the old cloaks, as well as a body of work (including prints, drawings and an 'old’ and 'new’ cloak making toolkit) that was inspired by the experience of reclaiming this knowledge. Completed in 2002, the Tooloyn Koorrtakay – Squaring Skins for Rugs project is now on display in the First Australians gallery of the National Museum of Australia. Couzens went on to participate with Hamm, Darroch and Maree Clark in a research and reclamation project, which involved consulting with and conducting workshops with members of each of the Victorian Indigenous language groups, to facilitate the creation of their own possum skin cloak. The project brought about a great sharing of cultural knowledge between groups and between generations, and culminated in 35 out of the 37 Victorian Indigenous communities having their own cloak. Elders from each of these groups performed during the opening ceremony of the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games, wearing their community’s cloak.In 2003 Couzens was awarded the inaugural Deadly Art Award (later the main award of the annual Victorian Indigenous Art Awards). She has participated in a number of exhibitions, including “ ? Lost & Found” (2001), at the Koorie Heritage Trust and Immigration Museum, Melbourne, “Mission Voices “ (2007), also at the Koori Heritage Trust, and “Ng woka, woka nganin: I am the land and the land is me”(2008) at the Bunjilaka gallery at the Melbourne Museum. In 2005, Couzens, Hamm and Darroch were commissioned by the City of Melbourne, and Aboriginal Affairs Victoria to create the 'Birrarung Wilam’ Aboriginal Park, which is located behind Federation Square in the Yarra River Precinct. In late 2008 she was living in Warrnambool in Victoria and was a mother of 5 and grandmother of 4. Writers: Fisher, Laura Date written: 2008 Last updated: 2011

Morrinsville, New Zealand
Biography
Sydney based artist, Allan Giddy was born in 1960 in Morrinsville, New Zealand. He describes his practice as 'active public art’. He has photographic work in New Zealand’s national collection, but is better known for his sculpture, installation, video and digital media works. On leaving school Giddy completed an electrical trade apprenticeship, working in hospitals and heavy industry. Although he soon changed direction, this early trajectory later facilitated his use of light and energy technologies in his art, and seeded a lasting fascination with decaying industrial sites in need of reinvigoration. Giddy moved to Sydney, Australia, in 1989, and completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Sculpture) at the College of Fine Arts (COFA), University of New South Wales (UNSW) in 1992. He was joint winner of the Sherman Gallery Sculptural Prize in 1992 and won the Helen Lemprière Travelling Art Scholarship in 1993. As a result, Giddy enrolled as a guest student at HBK Art Academy in Saarbrücken, Germany, where he researched the use of sensing systems in media art. He was then invited to become a guest fellow at the Centre for Advanced Investigation in the Interactive Arts (CAIIA) at the University of Wales in the United Kindom, where he studied interactivity and the (then fledgling) internet in art making from 1994 to 1995. During this time he attended the 1994 Symposium for Interactive Marketing Communication in Heidelberg, Germany, and exhibited his first solar powered work, Hours Remaining in the Life of Allan Giddy, in the associated Wandlung exhibition. This work is a solar powered digital backwards-counting 'clock’ that counts down how many hours Giddy has left to live, based on statistical predictions for the average New Zealand male born in the 1960s. Returning to Australia in 1996, Giddy exhibited frequently both in Sydney and overseas, including in the Netherlands, Germany and Finland. In 1999 he also conceived and co-curated his first exhibition, “Lumen”, at UNSW’s Solarch Solar Research Centre. Featuring works by COFA staff and students, “Lumen” examined renewable energy and light from multiple perspectives. At this time Giddy was studying for his Master of Fine Art (Sculpture) at COFA. In his investigations into light and time, culminating in 2001 with a solo exhibition, “Intersection” (Ivan Dougherty Gallery, Sydney), audience participation often played a key role. A prominent work to emerge from this period was Pissoir, an 'interactive urinal’ that facilitated on-screen drawing through urination. During 2002 Giddy co-curated his second exhibition at Solarch, “Appliance”, featuring technology-inspired installations and artworks using renewable energy. He was subsequently awarded the Ecological Prize at Sculpture by the Sea, Sydney, for his work Minor Attractor. This work collects solar energy daily, using it at night to attract insects, which then become part of an artificial ecosystem lit by the same UV light that attracts them. In 2006 Giddy’s Weather Cranes, a permanent public installation at The Armory, Sydney Olympic Park, reinvigorated a pair of heritage-listed cranes by rendering them humidity and temperature sensitive. Each crane holds a string of weather-responsive, coloured indicator lights that register climatic conditions. In many of his digital media works Giddy generates music from visual footage, creating his own conversion formulas to transpose colour, movement or other factors into sound. In both 2005 and 2008 he was a finalist in the Blake Prize and his 2008 work Stations of the Cross was amongst works selected to tour interstate (2008-09). In 2008 he was also selected for inclusion in “Figuring Landscapes”. This collection of moving image works, curated by Catherine Elwes, featured United Kingdom and Australia based artists who addressed issues of representation, nation and identity through landscape. The exhibition toured the United Kingdom, including the Tate Modern in London, before ending at Brisbane’s Queensland Gallery of Modern Art and Dell Gallery. In Sonic Wells (2008) Giddy’s pioneering use of technology in public art combined with his interest in reinvigorating post-industrial areas. This international installation, developed for the Cork Harbour Project (2008), linked Sydney’s Irish diaspora with its origins. In this work he built two 'wells’, one outside the Mercantile Hotel in Sydney and the other on Casement Square, Cobh, County Cork, Ireland. Each well collected ambient sounds that, transmitted live via the internet, were emitted from its 'sister’ well. People gathered around one well listened to live audio as it was incident at the other, and vice versa; it seemed that Giddy had created a virtual hole through the earth connecting these two harbour sites. In 2008, as Founding Director of the Environmental Research Initiative for Art (ERIA), Giddy was working on developing a research centre to trial the use of sustainable energy systems in art. ERIA’s goal is to develop and explore the use of sustainable technology both in the fabrication of public artworks (in a solar/wind powered workshop) and in powering the works themselves once installed. The intent being for the energy systems developed to be trialed for other purposes, including remote fieldwork, exhibitions and screenings. At the time of writing Giddy was engaged in a major public project, Earth v Sky, centred on two iconic Moreton Bay fig trees in Bicentennial Park, Glebe (on Sydney Harbour’s foreshore). He was designing a colour-sensitive lighting control system to illuminate the trees’ canopies in an inversion of the colours of the evening sky, responding in real time to the changing colours of the twilight, with the work to be powered by a silent wind turbine.

Birth Place
Melbourne, Vic., Australia
Biography
Photographer, was born in Melbourne where she lives and works. Papapetrou originally trained as a lawyer, graduating with a BA/LLB, University of Melbourne in 1984. In 1997, she graduated with a Master of Arts, (Media Arts), RMIT University and in 2007 with a PhD, Monash University. Papapetrou practiced as a lawyer between 1986-2001 but she began making photographs in 1987. From the outset of her practice, the themes of dress-ups, performance and the representation of identity have been a common thread in her work. Her first series, Elvis Immortal, made between 1987 and 2002, portrays Elvis Presley fans paying homage to Elvis on the anniversary of his death. Elvis Immortal was exhibited at the State Library of Victoria (1991), Bendigo Art Gallery, Victoria (1997), Old Treasury, Melbourne (1998), Nellie Castan Gallery, Melbourne (2006) and RMIT Gallery Melbourne (2007). A few years later Papapetrou turned to the figure of Marilyn Monroe in her series Seaching for Marilyn (2002). Papapetrou was drawn to the figures of Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe because their image is so powerfully emblematic and instantly identifiable in contemporary culture. In Searching for Marilyn , Papapetrou visually explores a classic female icon that was as influential as Elvis Presley. Marilyn Monroe is probably the most well-known female of the 20th century but differed from Elvis in that she was the great female fantasy of an era and symbolized the way that society views specific gender roles – she was not only adored for her acting abilities, but also for her physicality and appearance. Rather than photograph fans and devotees as in the Elvis Immortal series, she decided to explore ideas about Marilyn Monroe as a Hollywood creation, existing only as a constructed identity and someone whose identity was constantly changing depending on what was expected of her. To portray this idea she photographed a female impersonator to show how he could become 'Marilyn’. Marilyn’s sexual identity was based on dress, theatre and performance rivalling that of a drag queen. The image of Marilyn was positioned in a triptych juxtaposed with images from art history to explore different facets of Marilyn’s identity such as in the work, Muse, where Papapetrou used Jean Marc Nattier’s painting of Thalia, the muse of comedy, to evoke the idea of the filmic Marilyn archetype as the muse or inspiration for post-war American values, with all their reality and sexual fantasy. Searching for Marilyn was first shown at Monash Gallery of Art (2002) and Nellie Castan Gallery (2006). Between 1995 to 2002, Papapetrou examined various constructions of identity based on body and dress. In Curated Bodies (1996), Papapetrou explored the biological and social constructions of gender in a suite of photographs of drag queens and female body builders. Curated Bodies was shown at the Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne (1996). Papapetrou continued her exploration of the body by photographing body builders in depth in her series Body/Building (1997-2002). She was interested in looking at how body builders were able to transform their body through diet and exercise. Papapetrou placed images of body builders against images of neo-classical architecture found in Melbourne such as Parliament House and Treasury to make the connection between Classical Greek notions of the ideal body and architecture. According to Papapetrou, the Hellenic ideal of beauty, which identified perfection with a virile muscular body, well suited to sports, still dominates in our culture. The works were run together to form a frieze that assumed the rhythms of an ancient Greek architectural frieze. Body/Building was first exhibited at Australian Centre for Photography, Sydney (1997) and the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne (2003). In Authority (2001) Papapetrou looked at how identity isexpressed through the fashion brand logo. For this series, Papapetrou photographed friends wearing T-shirts with designer logos printed on them and compared them to well-known images from the art history of royalty and the aristocracy to make the point that 'fashion’ is the new royalty. Papapetrou explored the idea of brand as a metaphor for worship in contemporary society and made connections between how popular culture informs personal identity. Authority was first shown at the Australian Centre for Photography, Sydney (2001) Since 2002, Papapetrou has turned her focus to the subject matter of childhood. Whether she is drawing upon ideas about the representation of childhood from 19th century photography, such as in Dreamchild (2003) and Wonderland (2004), exploring the power of dress ups as in Phantomwise (2002), revisiting the experience of childhood in colonial Australia as in Haunted Country ( 2006 ) or reflecting upon a lost freedom and the regulated lives of children growing up in the world today as in Games of Consequence (2008), she is reflecting upon the different facets of childhood and presenting a picture of a more knowing child. The main protagonists in her work have been her two children Olympia (born 1997) and Solomon (born 1999). Papapetrou started making pictures about childhood because she wanted to communicate ideas about our culture that are best expressed through the symbol of the child, but more importantly, she is fascinated by the world of childhood. Her first body of work made with her daughter was Phantomwise in 2002. Olympia was four years old when they embarked upon the project. In Phantomwise , Olympia wore a series of masks that concealed her face from above the nose, but allowed her mouth and ears to be revealed. The eyes, eyebrows, and forehead are fully drawn in the mask and there was a small eyehole in place of the pupil that enabled Olympia to see. Papapetrou was interested in the performative nature of the mask and how it could be used as a device to move Olympia and the photograph from the 'real’ to the 'imaginary’ – both body and photograph were transformed by the mask. Phantomwise was first exhibited as Olympia Masked Ballarat Fine Art Gallery (2002) and curated in Photographica Australis , Sala De Exposiciones Del Canal De Isabel II, Madrid, Spain (2002), National Gallery of Thailand, Bangkok (2003) and Singapore Art Museum, Singapore (2003). It was also exhibited at Stills Gallery, Sydney (2003) and Monash University Gallery of Art, Melbourne, (2004). Following Phantomwise , Papapetrou made Dreamchild (2003), a series based on the 19th century photographs of Charles Dodgson, more commonly known as Lewis Carroll, the genial author of Alice in Wonderland . She was drawn to re-staging Dodgson’s photographs because his portrayal of dress up games – the games that children play in everyday life and have often performed for the camera – typified the boundary-crossing experience that occurs in photography. She photographed her daughter Olympia in a variety of dress – Oriental, Middle Eastern, Victorian and other exotic costumes. The works raise questions about how Olympia presents herself as a female child and how she and the mother/artist explore the boundaries of her identity, through her dress-up performances before the camera. Dreamchild was exhibited at Kalli Rolfe Contemporary Art, Melbourne (2003), Bendigo Art Gallery, Victoria (2003) and photographic, New York (2003), Stills Gallery, Sydney (2004), Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne (2004), Nexus Gallery, Adelaide (2004), Johnson Gallery, Perth (2005), Australian Centre for Photography, Sydney (2005) and 'Le Mois de la Photo’, 9th Montreal Photography Biennale, Montréal (2005). Following Dreamchild , Papapetrou looked at how Lewis Carroll portrayed the girl figure in the character of Alice from Alice in Wonderland . In her series Wonderland (2004), Papapetrou explores the psychological and physical presence in the fictive role that her daughter steps into. While Olympia remains distinctively child-like – acting the part of a child – her girl’s presence latches onto a famous hallowed story, assuming a larger-than-life stature, and through the performance, Olympia’s self is challenged as much as it is celebrated. In staging the photographs for Wonderland , Papapetrou created a fantasy world to mirror Lewis Carroll’s dream where imagination and reality are almost mystically equated. She borrowed from the tradition of theatre and used scenic backdrops (as she had in some of the images in Dreamchild ) . The backdrops set the scene and dramatized the movement from reality to imagination as in theatre. The scenic backdrops were based on the illustrations that appeared in the original publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland made by Sir John Tenniel. The large canvases measuring 3m x 3m were painted by Olympia’s father, Robert Nelson. Wonderland was at shown at Stills Gallery, Sydney (2004), Kalli Rolfe Contemporary Art, Melbourne (2004), 'Le Mois de la Photo’, 9th Montreal Photography Biennale, Montréal (2005), Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, New South Wales (2005), Monash University Gallery (2006) , Horsham Regional Art Gallery, Victoria (2006), Te Tuhi Gallery, Manukau City, New Zealand (2007), Roger Williams Contemporary, Auckland (2007) and Warnambool Art Gallery (2008). In 2006, Papapetrou moved her work from the realm of fantasy into the natural world. This seemed an appropriate move as the children were growing older and their experience of the world was shifting from the imaginative interior world of dress-ups and make-believe into a more pragmatic experience with the world beyond the home. Her series Haunted Country, (2006) was inspired by nineteenth century real and fictional accounts of children who went missing in the Australian bush. To make these photographs, Papapetrou went to the sites of the most notorious disappearances including the Wimmera, Daylesford and Hanging Rock, where she staged scenes proposing what the physical and psychological circumstances may have been like for these lost and wandering children. Haunted Country captures feelings about the Australian landscape and our history to it, but also about children and their eternal vulnerability in both the natural and social orders. The landscape seems to act metaphorically, almost a resonant backdrop for a social 'distancing’ that can occur with children lost in other senses. Haunted Country was exhibited at Foley Gallery, New York (2006), Johnston Gallery, Perth (2006), Williams Contemporary, Auckland (2007), Nellie Castan Gallery, Melbourne (2007), National Arts Center, Tokyo (2008) and included in many curated exhibitions in Australia and internationally including the Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego (2007) and Aperture Foundation, New York (2007), De Cordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, Massachusetts (2008) and the McClleland Gallery and Sculpture Park, Victoria (2008). Making Haunted Country caused Papapetrou to think about the type of childhood she experienced compared to that of her children. Sensing that that the process of growing up in the modern world had changed and that her children – the subjects of much of her work – were growing up, the exploration of personal individuality seemed a natural next step. Games of Consequence (2008) is based on Papapetrou’s childhood memories of play, incidents that happened to her and feelings that she experienced growing up. By exploring her memories of play that occurred in places beyond the home, she wanted to reflect on the freedom that children of her generation enjoyed in these arcane spaces. To tell this story, Papapetrou ventured back into the landscape, but stepped outside the idea that the Australian bush equates with mortality (as in Haunted Country ) to consider the landscape as a medium in which she could explore ideas about the changed social landscape of childhood. The landscape is not portrayed as menacing as in Haunted Country, but some of the works hint at an undercurrent of danger in the air, which may be psychological rather than physical. In this series, Papapetrou uses the depth and complexity of the natural world as a backdrop in which she explores some of the idyllic and darker aspects of growing up. The land is represented as a space without constraints and a place where children can attempt to define their individuality through their surroundings. The series was first shown at the National Arts Center, Tokyo (2008), then Johnson Gallery, Perth (2008), Foley Gallery, New York (2008) and Nellie Castan Gallery Melbourne (2008).

Biography
Ray Thomas, born 1960, is a Gunnai painter of the Brabralung clan. Thomas began painting in the 1980s when he contributed to a number of Aborigines’ Advancement League murals in Melbourne. In 2002 he was commissioned to create a kangaroo design for a silver dollar produced by the Royal Australian Mint. His paintings are inspired by Gunnai stories and designs, his sense of affinity with Gippsland country (in eastern Victoria), and also respond to contemporary political issues of relevance to Aboriginal people. Exhibitions have included “Power of the Land: Masterpieces of Aboriginal Art” at the National Gallery of Victoria (1994), “Native Title Business”, which was toured nationally by the Regional Galleries Association of Queensland (2002-2005), and the solo exhibition “Secret-Sacred Country” (2002) at the Alcaston Gallery in Melbourne.

Biography
Vicki West is a Tasmanian Aboriginal installation artist who works with kelp, textiles, vines and seeds to create sculptural installations that speak of the impact of invasion, government policies, land rights and social justice issues. West is a descendant of the Trawlwoolway people of north-east Tasmania and her heritage inspires much of her artwork. She works with kelp, dodder vines and seeds that connects her to her ancestors, in particular the women and their kelp and weaving traditions.In West’s hands the kelp and the dodder vines take on a more contemporary form. With an understanding of the traditional knowledge of how to collect, dry and manipulate these materials, she brings to life objects that at first viewing appear 'ancient’ but on closer inspection have meanings and subtexts that are relevant to a modern audience. For example her kelp vests are armour-like costumes sewn to form a physically fragile vest that has the appearance of wearability. The dodder vine woven objects comprise rows of interconnected woven circles that hang suspended, evoking a fantasy world where light and shadow suggest the whispers and movements of ancestral spirits. Yet these same suspended objects have a contemporary sculptural appearance that today’s art audiences can relate to.West began making art in the early 1990s but did not exhibit until 1996 in the group show 'Buddhabungan’ at the Australian National University. She spent the next ten years exhibiting in group shows including 'Spinifex Runner’ curated by Diane Moon at Campbelltown Arts Centre, NSW (1998); 'Knotted Up’ at Gallery B, University of Tasmania (2000); 'Journeys’ at Bond Store, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (2001); 'Native Title Business’ at Queensland Museum (2002) and 'We’re Here’ at the National Museum of Australia (2004).'A Nasty Piece of Work’ was shown at the Arts Alive Artspace in Launceston in 2005 and marked West’s first solo exhibition, her second solo, 'Shadow: A Nasty Piece of Work No 2’ also in 2005 was exhibited at the Poimena Gallery in Launceston and in 2008 'Re-earthing’ at the Koorie Heritage Trust in Melbourne was her third. West continues to show her work in group exhibitions such as the 'Premaydena’ with Lola Greeno as part of the 2007 Ten Days on the Island Arts Festival and 'Nguurramban: Where We Are’ at the Linden Centre for Contemporary Arts in St Kilda, Melbourne in July and August of 2007.In 2000 West was a finalist in the 17th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory with her untitled stitched kelp vessel. In 2003 she received her first arts grant from Arts Tasmania to develop a new body of work Journey to Other, which was the pre-cursor to 'A Nasty Piece of Work’. The grant also enabled West the opportunity to experiment with kelp and other fibres and dyes. In 2004 she won an Arts Tasmania residency at Lake St Clair (Residency Leeawulenna), which she undertook in early 2005. The intended result of this residency is a site specific installation (scheduled for completion in 2009), Living Culture, designed to be a functional protective structure made from materials found on site for its Aboriginal Weaving Garden – a garden that consists of local Indigenous plants utilised by Tasmanian Aboriginal people in Launceston. West is not only an exhibiting artist but also a curator and a workshop and conference presenter. In 2001 she curated the exhibition 'Taking Our Place’ at Gallery A, University of Tasmania (Launceston campus) and in 2004 she conducted a weaving workshop with fellow weaver Yvonne Koolmatrie at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston and a kelp workshop at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra. In 2006 she presented a conference paper at the Selling Yarns conference in Darwin and for the touring exhibition 'Woven Forms: Contemporary basket making in Australia’ at Object Gallery in Sydney. In 2007 she was invited to sit as a member of the Aboriginal Advisory Committee for Arts Tasmania.In 2008 West completed her Masters of Fine Arts at the University of Tasmania’s School of Visual and Performing Arts, Launceston. This completed a period of study that began more than a decade earlier when she enrolled in a Bachelor of Fine Arts (awarded in 1999) and then a Bachelor of Fine Arts with First Class Honours (awarded in 2001) from the University of Tasmania.West is represented in the City of Port Phillip Council art collection, St Kilda, Victoria; the Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney; the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, Launceston; the National Museum of Australia, Canberra; and the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.

Townsville, QLD, Australia
Biography
Paul Fairweather, architect, designer, painter, installation artist and Director of Fairweather Proberts Architects Pty Ltd, was born in 1959 in Townsville, Queensland. There he spent most of his childhood until the age of twelve when the family moved to Brisbane. Fairweather and his four siblings were brought up in an artistic environment where his mother enjoyed needlework and other crafts and his father, upon retirement from engineering, enthusiastically embraced oil painting. Fairweather’s architectural projects and artworks both epitomise his strong interest in the arts. Indeed the artist feels the making and expressive features of art came to inform his approach to architecture. In 1979 Fairweather began working in various architectural offices – ETS consultants, Griffith University Building and Grounds, John Dimitriou Architects, John Grauf Builder, and Department of Works – while studying part-time at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). He graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture in 1987, and established Paul Fairweather Architects in 1991. In 1996, he merged with Liam Proberts Architects to form Fairweather Proberts Architects (FPA). The practice has produced an extensive range of architectural, interior, residential, commercial and memorial projects. FPA has won numerous industry awards and architecture design competitions including sixteen Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA) national and state awards, and 1st Prize in the National Police Memorial Design Competition (2005). Indeed the National Police Memorial (2006, Canberra) also won the RAIA Urban Design Award (2007) and Art and Architecture Award (2007) and the Design Institute of Australia Gold Award for Built Environment (2008). Fairweather began painting in 1990 and, with annual solo exhibitions since that time, is an active artist. His early interest in painting, often making use of an isolated object to explore colour, fluidity, light and shade, evolved to more complex investigations of emotion and meaning. This shift occurred with his 2001 Archibald Prize entry, Exhibitors of Exuberance, when he had to grapple with the demands of portraiture as well as material and surface. With a newfound interest in the present time and what he refers to as 'momentums of society’, Fairweather seeks to capture his own feelings as well as those of his subject. Fairweather’s command of space in public art projects shows the extent to which his practice straddles architecture and art. Light Installation (2006) uses oversized bright orange witches hats in a star formation to bring new vigour to an industrial warehouse adjacent to the rapidly gentrifying river front of West End, Brisbane. So too, his design is indebted to his art; Fairweather’s whimsical chair designs, especially the playful Mr Curley, and the intricate WWW (Web We Weave) chair (manufactured by Paul Hickey), reveal a degree of experimentation and fun which can be associated with much of his painting. The Fairweather Proberts Prize for Art, awarded annually to children in Catholic primary schools in the Brisbane archdiocese, seeks to award individuals or groups for excellence in art and design application.

Biography
Josie Petyarre was born at Ahalkere in Utopia. Some biographies give the year 1954. (The Australian Census lists a Josie Pitjara b.1959 to father Alec Ngwarai, Aranda, b.1925, mother Polly Ngale, Aranda b.1936. Siblings: Maisie, Sammy, Audrey, David.) Petyarre was living at Alhalpere Store, Utopia, in 1987 when she was a batik artist contributing to the Utopia batik project and book (Utopia – A Picture Story). In 2008 she was living at the Utopia outstation of Pungalindum with her husband Dinni Kemarre and her adult children. Josie has painted and exhibited since the late 1980s after the CAAMA’s Summer Project Exhibition. Her past painting subjects were typically 'Women’s Ceremonial Body Paint’ but she also painted 'Yam Dreaming’ and 'Alhalkre Country’ (Leonard Joel, Oct. 2004, lot 396). In 2005, Josie began making sculptures of animals, figures in ceremonial dress, cars and daily objects from Utopia, and was soon joined by Dinni, formerly a stockman. Dinni and Petyarre then worked collaboratively to produce wildly coloured painted wood sculptures of quirky objects incorporating contemporary themes. In 2006 they produced painted sculptures of Australian Rules footballers from each team and these were exhibited in 2007 at AFL World, Melbourne. Josie and Dinni attended the AFL World exhibition and the football grand final, leading Josie to produce realist paintings of Melbourne. In 2008, Josie and Dinni were joint finalists in the Xstrata Coal Emerging Indigenous Art Award at the Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, with brightly painted sculptures of everyday objects such as tables and chairs and a police wagon.

Biography
John 'Johnno’ Johnson is a Canberra based Warramunga man who was born in 1959 in the Northern Territory. He is an installation artist and printmaker working in lithography. His 1994 installation Freedom, consisting of handcoloured lithograph and mixed media, was purchased in 1995 by the Art Gallery of NSW. The National Musuem of Australia also purchased the mixed media installation Barb Wire and Bad Dreams that same year. In 1995 Johnson worked alongside printmaker Theo Tremblay at Studio One Inc and produced a series of lithographs ( Changes, The Gathering and Beginnings & Endings ) which were acquired by the National Gallery of Australia. He submitted these same prints into the 1996 3rd Heritage Art Award, 'The Art of Place’. The heritage statement in the accompanying catalogue explains that these works “relate to Namadgi National Park in the ACT where the artist worked as a fencer in the 1980s. They also relate to sites of occupation found by the artist, which were undiscovered until that time. The works also relate to the shrinking population of Dingoes that live in the Park” (1996, pg 17). This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography.

Mundubbera, Qld, Australia
Biography
Waanyi artist Judy Watson was born in Mundubbera, Queensland in 1959, and raised in Brisbane. Her fine arts education began in 1977, when she began a two year Diploma of Creative Arts at the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education in Toowoomba. She moved to Hobart the following year to undertake a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Tasmania, which she completed in 1982. In 1986 she completed a Graduate Diploma of Visual Arts at Monash University in Gippsland, Victoria.While Watson had shown her work in a number of galleries during her student days, it wasn’t until the late 1980s and early 1990s that she came to be involved in significant exhibitions. Among her first solo shows were 'a sacred place for these bones’ at Griffith University in Brisbane (following a three-month residency there) in 1989 and 'groundwork’ at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane in 1990. Early group shows included the seminal exhibition 'A Koori Perspective’ at Artspace, Sydney in 1989, the First Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, Queensland Art Gallery, 1993 and the 1993 Australian Perspecta at the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) – which focused on the work of a range of indigenous Australian artists in recognition of the UN International Year of the Worlds Indigenous People. Watson specialised in printmaking during her fine art studies, and thus initially favoured works on paper, however she soon diversified her practice to include painting, installation and sculpture. An important early print in which Watson explored her Indigenous heritage was the 1988 etching touching my mother’s blood (National Gallery of Australia). the guardians (1986/87) was one of Watson’s first sculptural works, consisting of large figure-shaped panels adorned with mixed media and powdered pigment, representing the artist’s matrilineal Indigenous ancestors including her great-grandmother, grandmother and mother. This work was purchased for the AGNSW’s collection, and featured in the 'Aratjara: Art of the first Australians’ touring exhibition initiated by the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Dusseldorf, in 1993. The theme of women’s connectedness that was explored in the guardians is highly significant for the artist, and the family members, sites and ancestral stories of Watson’s family history have been a foundation of her artistic practice since the early days of her career. A critical turning point came in 1990 when she and her family visited Riversleigh Station in north western Queensland, where her maternal grandmother Grace Isaacson was born. Victoria Lynn, writing for the catalogue of the 1995 'Antipodean Currents’ exhibition held at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, notes that during the visit Watson “researched the history of Aboriginal people and the pastoral industry in the region. Her family showed her bush foods, Spinifex resin, native-bee’s honey (“sugarbag” as it is called colloquially) and rock paintings” (p.106). The creative and emotional resources Watson drew from this visit allowed her to consolidate her artistic language and, as she stated in a 2002 interview with curator Hetti Perkins, published in the book One Sun, One Moon, her practice has remained devoted to an “archeology of memory, history and site” (2007, p. 306). Watson has said that the stories her grandmother shared with her as a child allowed her to “learn from the ground up – to feel the power of the land under your feet that resonates through your body connecting you to country – but also to feel and acknowledge the pride and empowerment of cultural reclamation” (Watson quoted in T. Mia & S. Morgan’s article “Going home to Country”). As this statement conveys, Watson is often concerned with memorialising the human imprint upon the natural world and reanimating sites by honouring those presences. This was achieved on a grand scale in 1994, when Watson was commissioned to create a permanent installation for the floor of the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre in Casula, NSW. Formerly a power station, the Art Centre conversion was in the last stages of completion at the time of the commission. Watson consulted with local community groups, conducted research in local land councils, museums and libraries, visited significant sites in the region, and workshopped ideas with Indigenous children and elders from the area to develop a design for the site. The Indigenous artists Cheryl Robinson, Gordon Hookey, Vivian Scott and Brook Andrew assisted Watson in the production of the Casula floor. Watson undertook a similar research and consultation process to produce another commission in 1999: an etched zinc wall encountered when one enters Bunjilaka, the Aboriginal Cultural Centre at the Melbourne Museum. The work was entitled Wurreka, which means “to speak” in the Wemba Wemba language of north-west Victoria, and consists of 74 individually etched panels of zinc, which each contain an image drawn from the Indigenous cultural heritage of south eastern Australia. Watson adopts a contemplative and experimental approach to the traditional artists’ resources of ink, paint, charcoal, pastels and dry pigment, an approach that reflects her sensibilities as a printmaker. She attends to the way these materials react to each other, and the way different mediums and binders can be employed to achieve distinctive surfaces. Unpredicted effects that result, for instance, from the textures of the earth upon which she often works, the scrubbing away of layers of pigment, or the dried splashes and bubbles of ink, are allowed to dictate the progress of an image. Such processes, and her exploitation of the qualities of canvas as a cloth rather than a mere support for an image, reflect a fidelity to natural processes: the effects are evocative of the unpredictability of environmental and historical forces, and the way the earth retains the memory of layers of events. This approach is evident in the body of work Watson produced for 'Fluent’, the Australian exhibition co-curated by Brenda Croft, Hetti Perkins and Victoria Lynn for the Venice Biennale in 1997 in which Watson’s work was exhibited alongside those of fellow Indigenous women artists Yvonne Koolmatrie and Emily Kame Kngwarreye. Watson has also integrated found materials such as shells, natural oxides and stringy bark into her works. The artist’s style is also marked by a tendency to extrapolate the symbolic and metaphorical resonances of the materials she uses in light of aspects of her own biography, and of the history of human occupation in Australia. As she writes of the work driftnet (1998), included in the 2000 Adelaide Biennial 'Beyond the Pale’, curated by Brenda Croft, it “references the destructive nature of those nets that entrap turtles and dolphins indiscriminately. It also alludes to my practice as an artist, travelling, collecting information, materials and meaning from places other than my own country. It holds the weave, the threads of cultural knowledge, a catcher of thoughts like a spirit net” (quoted in 'Beyond the Pale’ catalogue, p.88). The fact that Waanyi people are known as 'running water people’ is of great importance to the artist, and she evokes the qualities of water in many of her works. Watson has been a committed environmentalist since she shared a home with conservationists as a student in Hobart. When she moved to Townsville after her studies were complete she became a member of the North Queensland Conservation Council, and participated in conservation campaigns concerned with the Daintree Rainforest in Queensland and the Franklin River in Tasmania. In 1995, Watson was awarded the Moët & Chandon fellowship, and two important bodies of work resulted from the associated French residency, the first of which pursued environmental themes. The French government was undertaking nuclear testing in the Pacific at the time of her residency, and Watson produced a series of works articulating her sense of “feeling compromised” by these circumstances, as she explained in an article she wrote for Artlink entitled “Nucleus: Feeling Compromised” (1996). Two paintings from this period: the water boiled and turned white and pacific vessel were among the works selected for the 'In Place (Out of Time) exhibition: Contemporary Art in Australia’ exhibition held at the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford, 1997. Also included in this exhibition were a series of etchings derived from periods of research undertaken at the Horniman and Science Museum and the British Museum (Museum of Mankind) in the United Kingdom during her French residency. The etchings, now in the collection of the AGNSW, are titled our bones in your collections, our skin in your collection and our hair in your collection (1997). They reflect another key artistic preoccupation for Watson: the racial classification of Indigenous Australians historically, and their fragmented and reified presence within the archival collections of museums around the world. Recurring themes in Watson’s work are shells, middens, termite mounds, vessels, fossils, plants, islands and maps, and these are frequently rendered in a manner that evoke the corporeal: bones, hair, scarred skin and blood. Through this treatment of the body, Watson explores both the human presence within the land and the impact of the malevolent structures of the State upon indigenous Australians. The latter was the theme of her 2005 work a preponderance of aboriginal blood, which resulted from a commission from the State Library of Queensland. The library sought a range of women artists’ responses, in the form of artists’ books, to the history of voting rights in Queensland. This was for the dual purpose of commemorating a century of Queensland women’s suffrage, and 40 years of Indigenous suffrage. a preponderance of aboriginal blood, which consisted of manipulated reproductions of assimilation policy documents splashed with red ink, was awarded the Telstra Work on Paper Award at the 23rd National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards, 2006. In the award documentation Watson is quoted as saying of the archival material: “Its heaviness dictates an era of constriction and control for all Aboriginal people caught within its web.” In 2007 Watson addressed the theme in another artist’s book, but in a more personal register: under the act worked with family photographs and documentary evidence of her grandmother’s and great grandmother’s subjection to Queensland’s Aborigines Protection and the Restriction of Opium Act (1897). This work was included in 'Culture Warriors’, the inaugural Indigenous Art Triennial at the National Gallery of Australia, curated by Brenda Croft (2007). Over the course of her career, Watson has undertaken international residencies in Italy, India, Canada, Norway and France. She has held numerous solo exhibitions in Australia and overseas, and her work is included in the collections of all major state galleries, as well as numerous overseas collections. At the time of writing, several survey shows of Watson’s work have been staged, including 'sacred ground beating heart: works by Judy Watson 1989-2003’, an international touring exhibition initiated by John Curtin Gallery in Perth, and 'Judy Watson: Selected Works 1990-2005’ at the Queensland University Art Museum. In 2006 Watson received the National Gallery of Victoria’s Clemenger Contemporary Art Award. Watson has held lecturing and tutoring positions at a range of universities, and has also been active in encouraging and assisting other Indigenous artists to research their heritage, access art resources, and develop approaches to creating art works that reflect their history, identity and location. She has undertaken a number of public art commissions subsequent to 'Casula floor piece’ and Wurreka. These include an installation in the Walama forecourt (2000) at the Sydney airport, for which artist Brook Andrew also contributed sculptural works. After consultation with Maningrida weavers in the Northern Territory, Watson designed large corroded steel structures that echo the shapes of dilly bags, termite mounds and sedge grass fences, while she also developed a shell theme for the site in consultation with La Perouse (Sydney) shellwork artist Esme Timbery. Other commissions include Ngarrn-Gi – Land (which means “to know” in the Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri people of the Melbourne region), a 50 metre long, three-panelled zinc wall installed in the foyer of the Victorian County Court in 2002, and heart/land/river (2004), which consists of 18 large photographic glass panels with fibre optic lighting, at the Brisbane Magistrate’s Court. In 2005, Watson was selected to produce two works, a glass ceiling and a glass wall facade, that were permanently installed in the Musee du Quai Branly, Paris, which opened in 2006. Watson was among a group of eight indigenous artists whose work was integrated into the architectural fabric of the buildings, the others being Ningura Napurrula, Lena Nyadbi, Michael Riley, Tommy Watson, John Mawurndjul, Paddy Bedford and Gulumbu Yunupingu. After many years living in different parts of Australia and long periods of time overseas, at the time of writing Watson had returned to live in Brisbane with her family.

Biography
Photographer and art teacher, was born in Brisbane but has lived and worked in Sydney for years. She originally trained as a painter; she has a Dip Art Education, Brisbane CAE 1976-79; Dip Art, TU School of Art 1982; Postgraduate diploma SCA 1990-91, MFA Hons I, UNSW CoFA 1992-96. Since about 1988, however, she has been producing enormous photographs 'at the interface of nature and technology’ (Alexander 2001). She exhibits at Gitte Weise Galleries, Paddington, and teaches at UNSW CoFA. Natural Disasters (1988) 'saw the idea of the Australian landscape as a kind of media construction, existing only as point of transit’, Alexander states, while from paradise work (1990-91) 'explored the hyperral effects on plexiglass and cibachrome: a second nature where nature is swallowed up by artifice’. Blow-out was at Annandale Gallery in 1993. Her series greenwork (1995) and b rownwork (1996-97) began her explorations of the interface of nature and technology. In greenwork she digitally reworked four panoramic landscapes of trees by photographer Peter Elliston by transforming all points into lines. 'Locale and landscape was blown up onto computer printed vinyl, converting it into a hailstorm of pixels, or information signals… With the help of Sydney Airport (FAC), the artist created images that changed jets into a kind of condensed ground fog’ (Alexander). The series was first shown at Sydney’s Kingsford Smith Airport in 1995. Aero-zone was shown at the National Museum of Art, Osaka, Japan in 1999. Laing’s series Flight research (1998-2000) looked at 'photographers who assume the role of director in relationship to their subjects’. The series is of a beautiful woman in a white dress with a skirt like a cloud floating in the sky (Candice Bruce owns the most famous one in the series). After being shown at Gitte Weise in 2000, flight research series was included in group shows at the Worcester Art Museum, Massachusetts (December 2001-March 2002, with Gregory Crewdson USA and Sharon Lockhart USA), then in Constructed Realities at the Grand Arts Foundation, Kansas City (with Tracey Moffatt and three blokes – all presumably Yanks). Laing’s next series, groundspeed 2001 (funded by Feltex carpets and a small UNSW ARC grant), consisted of large coloured photographs of bush locations on the remote South Coast of NSW: a 'ferny dell’ at the George Boyd Lookout, what remains of the big timber country near Morton National Park, and a rocky outcrop in an old bluestone quarry at Kiama. In each the ground was replaced by an old-fashioned Feltex carpet (fitted on site, not digitally manipulated), each of a different floral pattern: Red Piazza c.1972, Rose Petal (from England, c.1930) and Harrogate Flower (1978) respectively. The sites were selected, measured and photographed, the three carpets cut in Sydney, installed on site and the locations rephotographed on negative film in panoramic (wide and superwide) focus. From the 23+ rolls of film she took, a very few images were selected and blown up for exhibition at Gitte Weise (29 August-22 September 2001), followed by Tolarno Galleries, Melbourne, ARCO in Madrid and the Armory, New York.

Summary
Laing is most well known for her fantastical landscape images of bush floors and rocky outcrops laid with vintage Feltex carpet. Amazingly these scenes are created, not digitally, but by accurately cutting, fitting and laying the carpet on site.

Biography
Naomi Kim Grant was born in 1959 in Sydney, New South Wales. She is a descendant of the Wiradjuri people of central New South Wales. In 1964 her family moved to Junee and then back to Sydney in 1968 for four years before moving once again to Melbourne in 1972. In 1976 Grant moved to Perth where she graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor of Design (Textile major) from the West Australian Institute of Technology (WAIT – later Curtin University). In the 1980s Grant set up her own textile business, Naomi Mills Textile Designs, which she ran successfully until 1989 – the same year she won 'Best Watercolour Painting’ at the City of Bayswater Art Awards. In 1990 Grant made the decision to concentrate more heavily on fine art as a career and in 1991 she was successful in receiving an Australia Council for the Arts grant that enabled her to travel to the Kimberly region of Western Australia on a painting expedition. She also began to submit her work into national art awards and in 1993 was a finalist in the 'Heritage Art Award’ exhibition held at Old Parliament House, Canberra. In 1993 Grant enrolled in an architecture course at Curtin University but only completed the first year. Grant states that she “decided to withdraw at the time because I was a single mum and the pressure to study and look after my daughter was too great.” (Pers. Comm., April 2009). Instead she returned to full-time work, securing a job as a design coordinator at the Caning Vale Weaving Mills. She held this job for six years. In 2000 she freelanced as designer for Glen Holst Furniture and in 2001 worked as a development manager for Sonshine FM Christian Radio. In 2000 Grant began exhibiting her acrylic paintings, collages and prints at various galleries around Perth. She developed a technique of layering coloured tissue paper under and over the painted surface, giving the surface a textured three-dimensional appearance. Grant’s paintings are inspired by dreams, visions and memories and her Indigenous heritage “adds another layer of design and inspiration” (Pers. Comm., April 2009).In addition to winning the 1989 watercolour prize, Grant won the 1981 'Craftsman of the Year’ at the York Fair, was awarded 2nd prize for 'Best Oil Painting’ in the 2001 City of Belmont Art Awards, gained 'Most Popular Painting’ award and the 'Maali Indigenous Award’ at the 2007 Midland Gate Art Awards. Searching for a change, in 2003 Grant undertook a TEFL course in Thailand and became an English and Art teacher in Bangkok in 2004. She returned to Australia in 2005 and worked for two years as a promotions, recruitment and student support coordinator at the Kurongkurl Katitjin School of Indigenous Studies at Edith Cowan University. In 2007 Grant began painting full-time and in the same year her painting Shadow of Dreams was selected to be featured in the June edition of Australian Artist magazine. This was the third time Australian Artist had featured her work: the January and November 2002 editions that featured her paintings Evolution and Peace respectively.In 2008 Australian Artist magazine published a feature article on Grant in their December issue and Oxfam Australia commissioned the painting Wiradjuri/Murray Darling climate change disaster which was displayed at the UN Conference on Climate Change in Poland, 2008. In 2009 Grant was living and working in Perth, Western Australia. Writers: Allas, Tess Date written: 2009 Last updated: 2011

Waikerie, South Australia, Australia
Biography
artist and activist, known to her people, the Ngarrindjeri, as “Kurwingie”, was born at Waikerie, South Australia. Her father, Stan, was an outstanding indigenous footballer, her mother apparently an Irish Australian. After attending Mitcham Girls High School in Adelaide, Kerry, aged 16, travelled to Darwin and worked at Glen Helen near Hermannsburg as a chamber-maid. There she began drawing images of Namatjira country, which she sold to guests at the hotel. She then did basketwork and associated craftwork in Darwin, until motherhood and a desire to continue her studies led her back to Adelaide in 1984. An arsonist destroyed most of her art and led her to abandon her third and final year of study for a TAFE Associate Diploma in Fabric Design. By 1986, however, she was fully engaged in art again, and in that year won the South Australian Aboriginal Artist of the Year award. In 1988 Giles spent some time as a trainee graphic artist with Co-Media and was invited (with Mitch Dunnett junior) to be Aboriginal Artist in Residence at Flinders University, where she produced her first limited editions of works on paper and curated her first exhibition, The Cutting Edge: new art from the Third and Fourth Worlds . In 1989 she worked on a major mural project at the Port Lincoln Aboriginal Organisation. Her art incorporated material about the Aboriginal struggle for land rights, deaths in custody, exploitation of the environment, and indigenous rights. These themes were developed at Tandanya in 1989-92 when she was a trainee exhibitions’ officer. She was particularly involved in East to West: Land in Papunya Tula painting (the 1990 Adelaide Festival exhibition), and in 1991 curated Two countries, one weave , an exhibition on the work of Maningrida and Ngarrindjeri weavers. A second residency at Flinders saw Giles develop a technique of marbling on fabric. She held her first solo show at Flinders Art Gallery, ooooh! I feel Good… . 1992 saw the production of a great range of silk paintings, linocuts, screenprints and etchings. She was one of three contributors to a Contemporary Art Centre of SA exhibition, Murrundi: three River Murray stories . In 1993 she held another solo exhibition, fab ART [et al. see Megaws] Giles died suddenly on 21 July 1997. A retrospective was held at Flinders University Art Museum in August.

Biography
Tasmanian Aboriginal artist, Denise Ava Robinson, was born in Launceston, Tasmania, in 1959. Robinson’s art practice, which encompasses fibre work, installation and sculpture made from natural found materials began in 1997, when she enrolled in a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Tasmania’s Launceston (Newnham) campus. Between 1998 and 1999, Robinson was able to undertake one year of study at the University of Hawaii School of Art, in Manoa, Honolulu, where she worked under the guidance of the fibre artist Patricia Hickman, an artist who remained an important mentor for Robinson. One of the first group exhibitions in which Robinson’s work was included was “Surface, Structure, Space”, at the University of Hawaii Art Gallery in 1999, and she has participated in a number of Hawaiian based exhibitions and art events in subsequent years. In 1999 Robinson completed her degree, and in 2000 she completed a further year of study at the University of Tasmania, achieving a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours. Robinson’s work reflects her sensitive and tactile engagement with the landscape. In 2001 she was awarded a Tasmanian Wilderness Residency, which allowed her to spend several months at Eddystone Point, the most easterly point on Tasmania’s north-east coast, in the Mount William National Park. The resulting work was included in the exhibition “Isolation Solitude” at Salamanca Arts Centre (2005), an exhibition which showcased the work of 18 artists who had undertaken Tasmanian Wilderness Residencies in different parts of Tasmania. In his catalogue essay for the exhibition, Peter Timms writes that upon the completion of her residency in 2003, 'Denise Robinson threw in her day-job and went to live on the remote north coast. The residency, she says “reminded me of what’s real and what matters”’ (p. 7). Between 2003 and 2008, Robinson lived in Tam O’Shanter Bay, near Lulworth, during which her creative practice became focused upon the natural refuse that she collected on the beaches near her home. She also participated in a number of community arts projects during these years, including the “Highway 1 Project” at the Old Supreme Court House in Oatlands, for Tasmania’s Ten Days on the Island Festival in 2003. This installation, entitled Many hands make light(n) work: that which makes things visible, or affords illumination involved a celebratory engagement with Indigenous Tasmanian traditions: hundreds of volunteers assisted in the creation of large, mat-like woven spirals made from wool, flax and grasses native to Tasmania. In 2007 Robinson held her first solo exhibition, titled “Part & Particle” at the Burnie Regional Art Gallery. As Jane Stewart points out in her Artlink review of the show, the 'exhibition title is a quote from American philosopher and naturalist Ralph Waldo Emerson’s collection of essays, Nature (1836), writings which encourage the reader to abandon egotism and become one with the natural and elemental forces’. This philosophy has been foundational to Robinson’s practice. Her work seeks to portray the natural cycles and patterns that she observes in the landscape on an intimate scale by using a mixture of organic and non-organic mediums. The work that culminated in Robinson’s 2007 solo exhibition was informed by her exploration of coastal areas of Tasmania, and is founded upon a patient, contemplative receptiveness to environmental processes. Corraline algae, which Robinson spends many hours collecting, cleaning and drying, has become an important motif in her work. She has created fine, spare, monochrome constructions by inlaying delicate trails of the calcified algae into a surface of white oil paint on hand-made paper. Robinson has strong familial and collegial relationships with fellow Tasmanian Aboriginal artists Lola Greeno, Vicki West and Julie Gough. Her connection with these women, as well as other Indigenous women artists such as Treanha Hamm and Lorraine Connelly-Northy, with whom she has exhibited, have informed her exploration of the nature of contemporary Indigenous identity. Her Indigenous heritage is the subtext to her attentiveness to the spirit of particular places, and the meaningful relationships that form between people and place. In correspondence with the author, Robinson writes that her intent as an artist “is to take what appears as an incidental and insignificant material to create work in a manner, and within a context, that charges a space with not only an aesthetic transformation but an ethical, cultural or social comment.”In 2008, Robinson was undertaking a Masters of Fine Arts at the University of Tasmania, Hobart, for which she was producing work that responded to the urban environment. Robinson was also preparing an installation to be included, alongside work produced by Lola Greeno and Lorna Riley, in a 2009 exhibition titled 'Re-earthing’ curated by Vicki West. 'Re-earthing’ was commissioned by the Devonport Regional Gallery to be part of the 2009 Ten Days On The Island Festival.
