Aaron James Aspiras Baldo

Bachelor of Design - Product and 3D Design

These renders are small samples of models I have completed throughout my Bachelor of Design course.

I am particularly fond of the battery operated fan, as the organic shape was interesting, in relation to manufacturability and structural rigidity.

The HIVE storage system was an exploration into rotational molded designs.

Adam John Waters

Bachelor of Photography - Documentary Photography

As a photographer, I am both a witness and documentarian of life around me. I wield my camera to craft the most truthful and respectful stories of my subjects.

Now, as I approach the end of my academic study, for the first time, myself and my house are the subject matter as I slowly dismantle my previously staunch and distinct barrier between the world and my true self.

Alex Piperides

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

In my latest body of work, Like-Life, I am interested in the relationship between directly cast objects and the viewer's perception.

The direct translation of objects, like the pool noodle, carries through to the final material capturing all the marks, imperfections, wrinkles, and text indentation. The objects are re-considered and recontextualized, removing our natural perception of them.

Alexandra Dunn

Bachelor of Photography - Advertising Photography

'Imperfectly Me' explores aspects of my experience with the chronic auto-inflammatory disease Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

If you were to see me in public, you would never know what lies beneath. This series looks into the effects the condition has had on my body, such as scarring, flares and also the medications that I use. Though it may seem gruesome to some, it is my everyday reality.

Allen Qian

My name is Zhonghao. I have been studying the Interior Design major for two years. I have learnt a variety of software skills, such as Revit and Sketchup and have presented the work using rendering engine.

Amanda Bennetts

Bachelor of Fine Art - Photographic Art Practice

Using found footage and film samples as the raw material, this video installation dissects and reframes the representation of the ill and medicalised body in popular culture, which centralises and celebrates the narratives of the abled-bodied protagonists whilst reducing illness experiences to a short-lived spectacle used as a commodification for observation, entertainment and curiosity.

Watch the teaser video, The Spectacle of the Antagonist.

Ana Maria Camargo Bustamante

Bachelor of Design - Product and 3D Design

As a product designer, I am drawn to sustainability and the environment.

My designs include sustainable materials, or incorporate nature.

Here are some of the examples I am most proud of, with sustainability as the essential factor.

2-IN-1 Crib: A project to solve homelessness that consists of a crib that can convert into two single beds.

Ari Grace Marfiga

Bachelor of Design - Graphic and Communication Design

My journey with art and design has been a very rocky one, however, my love for art still grows more and more. My love for art stems from my dream to make people feel joy and happiness.

My art and designs grow with me as I learn and explore the medium more and I think it shows through my works.

Expand is a series that reflects on the way water flows to and against everything it surrounds. Water is both firm and forgiving in its relationship with a submerged body. Both body and water potentially extend outside of the canvas to reflect on the meaning of taking up space.

What makes the works in Expand different to historical representations of the female nude is their reference to touch.

Bridie White

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

Held or worn as jewellery, each work establishes an intimate relationship between wearer and creature – an attempt at 'kin-making‚' in an era of ecosystem collapse. Having thrived on Earth for 450 million years, the cockroach offers a sense of resilience, a connection to deep time.

The wearer challenges their-self and others to revere not revile this tiny domestic monster; to see it as precious.

Britney Herbert

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

Control and Non-Control is an exploration of the relationship between control and chance. The gestural works construct a visual psychological dichotomy between controlled watercolours and large-scale chance works, culminating in the form of a wire sculpture.

The works focus on the performance of creating, utilising gestural repetition and chance, motivated by unexpected outcomes.

Brittany Long

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

This group of paintings address Postpartum Depression and birth trauma. As a postpartum doula, I have come to appreciate the idiosyncratic nature and vulnerability of childbirth, therefore I have chosen to use painting to address PPD rather than use this issue to make paintings.

Cara Needham

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

Washing Machine Typology involves the documenting of overlooked objects within transitory spaces and examines how simple images of the everyday can provide a temporary moment of calm in a complex and overwhelming world.

Chloe Delmargo Healy-Johnson

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

Breath No Longer Breath interrogates the threshold between personal and external space.

The series contemplates personal space as unfixed, with boundaries that expand and retract through and beyond the body, like breath. To investigate the oscillating boundaries of my own personal space, I have gridded and fragmented my bedroom window - a physical representation of this threshold.

Claudia Marmissolle

Bachelor of Design - Product and 3D Design

In my early years, I became a natural maker. Slowly, I developed my passion for education, design, and arts and crafts. Nowadays, my interest in supporting artists has inspired me to draft a Social and Cultural Enterprise, as a special space for people with disabilities where we can learn and work together, design, and create products and art, with the mission of promoting social equality.

Connor Dowling

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

I wish to focus on the concept of worshipping and the idolisation of higher celestial beings or 'Gods' for one's own personal gain, whether it be power, fear or wealth.

I will depict this by transforming traditional characters of worship with the horrification of such beings, while utilising ink on paper that has been sewn together.

Courtney Simpson

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

In this series of works I use sinister and cinematic scenes where figures loom, angles tilt and light recedes out of reach in a haunting portrayal of my own worst fears.

My paintings speak on the uncontrollable menace of our own minds, specifically citing fears on bodily safety, surveillance, the subconscious, abortion rights, and mortality. I hope to dissect contemporary fear.

Art and dance have been tied together throughout history. In this work, I am exploring body image through the lens of growing up in a dancing school environment. I am using the mediums of print and sculpture to represent and take impressions of movement.

Sometimes I Feel Like My Body Isn't Mine highlights the detachment that dancers can feel from their own bodies and the issues that ensue.

Daisy Brindza

Bachelor of Creative and Interactive Media/Bachelor of Business

Design will always be around us. The words ‚'create' and 'design' have always sparked a sense of enthusiasm and excitement within me.

I have a passion for branding and identity in particular, and gain a sense of fulfilment in creating designs that are aesthetically pleasing bespoke, and fun.

Whilst studying I have been fortunate to work as a graphic designer for over 2 years, gaining knowledge in print and digital media, as well as apparel and merchandise. Over those years, I had the pleasure to do commission-based work for a range of clients.

David Hartwin

Bachelor of Photography - Documentary Photography

These works explore the complex relationship of industrialization and nature, focusing on environmental impacts.

The photographic series showcases instances of pollution through images layered with symbols of industry, within suburban areas around Brisbane, and aims to inspire the audience to consider their own positionality around waste.

Diane Green

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

Parley combines two conflicting drives within me. The paintings of couples represent safety, tradition, skill, beauty. The motley collection of single sculptures represents playfulness, freedom, irreverence, the everyday. The latter rebels against the former. The former holds firm. Each drive exists in reactive relationship to the other. Materialising this coexistence brokers uneasy peace for now.

Douglas Maina

Bachelor of Design - Interior Design and Environments

Over the past 3 years, I've had the opportunity to immerse myself into the world of interior and spatial design. The following images represent some of my recent works that mainly focus on drawing attention to social issues.

Ebony Wilmott

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

The stained-glass installations use the formal language of abstraction to interpret musical compositions. Each note from an excerpt of music is assigned a coloured glass, translating the cadence of the piece into a visual rhythm. Using the grid as a framework, rubbings taken from tiled public and private spaces, become the blueprint from which the dimensions of the glass squares are determined.

Eckard van Jaarsveld

Bachelor of Design - Product and 3D Design

I am an industrial designer that focusses on creating physical products and objects that are ready for manufacturing. I am passionate about the automotive industry, but have come to love working and designing everyday objects.

The Canry is a working product that was programmed to detect various gas in a mining environments and warn the user through utilising three of our human senses: sight, touch, sound. This product was created to increase the level of safety for miners after recent incidents across the world.

EJ Angela Dolor

Bachelor of Design - Interior Design and Environments

Throughout my university journey, I have gained a greater understanding and broadened my awareness of the importance and effects of spatial design in our daily lives, including how the chaotic design progress dominates the whole outcome of the design project.

As an interior designer, to provide my clients a design solution that satisfies their needs and aesthetics is what I consider being successful.

As an emerging interior designer, I prefer to live a simple life, providing the best I can for my clients, while also allowing myself to grow from the opportunities and experiences coming my way.

Elise Selway

Bachelor of Design - Product and 3D Design

Throughout my product design course I have gained a broad range of skills and knowledge, including 3D modelling, prototype making, and manufacturing. My passion is furniture design but I have designed a range of products including light fixtures, playgrounds, assistive devices and more.

Angre Cow: Designed for The Great and Grand Rumpus at SLQ. The design was to be made entirely of cardboard and had to be inspired by a child's drawing.

Reverse Loft Bed: Designed for university students that struggle with lack of space. The design combines storage, desk and bed into one.

Waterfall Plant Stand: A simple, unique design made to bring greenery into the home.

Solastalgia: Memories Lost to Time. Solastalgia is the emotional distress caused by environmental change. This series draws from the tradition of mourning jewellery by holding memories of environments lost.

Comprising a collection of miniature frames containing fragile and organic elements, designed to warp and degrade overtime, these pieces mimic the anxiety of loss and fading of memory.

Emma Gow

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

My work explores the ways in which technology and image sharing have influenced how we construct our memories and identity.

I’m fascinated by the loss of autonomy brought on by our collective buy-in to ‘algorithmic citizenship’ - the ways we build our personal and collective narratives are now controlled by corporate tools.

By interpreting this influence through my paintings, projections and objects, I’m reflecting on the disintegration of personal memory and its amalgamation with the collective experience of all those living with this technology.

Your family, phone and pets become trapped within these imaginary restraints and become the characters, and lifeline, to normalise your day.

Grace Butterfield

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

The work is about capturing a moment in time that isn't revolutionary, but mundane. The exhibition is about choosing to see the beauty in the everyday and allowing ourselves this pleasure.

I appreciate colour, form, texture, and objects, and this is what translates onto the canvas. The aim of my work is to encourage the viewer to stop even just for a second and enjoy the little things in their life.

These paintings are self-portraits of landscapes; these represent my identity, personalities, values, and beliefs. Even though these are my self-portraits, I decided not to add any figures to create metaphoric and symbolic aspects.

I carefully depict specific places, times and memories which reflect who I am. Furthermore, I applied symbolic mediums to clearly connect myself and the landscape.

Helen Hardess

Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours)

Curiouser converses with the seriousness of contemporary art on the Anthropocene.

Numbed by disaster narratives and moral imperatives, it asks if absurdity and humour can aid in processing our times' emotional buffeting.

Refusing the informative, it enlists queer theory's playful and disruptive affects, and speculative fiction's New Weird, to present moments of absurdity and impossibility.

Imogen Corbett

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

My paintings capture interior portraits as an ordinary, everyday space made extraordinary through the detailed rendering of the surface.

Referencing 19th century Realism and 1960's Photo Realism, the everyday trope is used to unveil overlooked aspects of existence and routine.

My paintings combine a realistic rendering with everyday subject matter, to foster a connection between the viewer and subject through familiarity.

This project uses Richard Serra's Verb List (1967) as a framework to examine the function of process, iteration, and labour in contemporary art practice.

The work creates an input/output relationship between Serra's obscure written prompts and reactive, immediate drawings of found objects. It examines the role of the artist as a machine for making.

I have been working intuitively with textiles as a sustained release of energy which connects to the domestic. Our forced connection to the interior over the last few years has made me deeply consider materials used to create a homely space.

My soft sculptures are an extension of abstract expressionism within the context of textile markmaking.

Through engagement with created objects of performance, I seek to create a living archive/alternate world in which Australian myths are interrogated from a female viewpoint.

My practice as an environmental artist focuses on coral, personally researched and photographed on the Great Barrier Reef.

Anthropomorphic attitudes have led to damage to climate change and global warming. My paintings aim to represent coral as a valuable element in the ecosphere, and show qualities which are important in maintaining environmental balance and hence encourage its protection.

Jasmin Harris

Bachelor of Fine Art/Bachelor of Business

Using oil paint as a medium, I intertwine nostalgia and the physical body, rooting the shifting nature of memories into an experience within the body that is instantly recognisable. Sunburns, blisters, and scraped knees, obscure family photos, tainting what may have been pleasant memories with images of the abject, intending to draw out visceral reactions reminiscent of a bodily experience.

A Silent Journey is about miscarriage and the isolation and grief that is felt through this common event.

This work is a collaboration with Laura Douglas, who miscarried twins, and uses portraiture, as well as nature as a reflection of feelings and journeys.

Through documentary, this story speaks up against the silence of miscarriage in society, to give a sense of the isolation felt and shared.

Life Takes Time consists of five canvas oil paintings, portraying an autobiographical, narrative approach to ageing and associated health issues of osteoarthritis and breast cancer.

Photography, digital media, and collage 'Consume' our every day.

Exploring pathos as a tactic of persuasion, I turn the gaze of appropriated advertising materials on themselves. In response to 'activating the consumer,' scale, exaggeration, and metaphorical play also invites the viewer to consider the human-object relationship and the role of mass-media in art. Also included: sample earlier works.

Achievements include: membership to Golden Key International Honour Society (2021); photographic publications in five international fashion and beauty magazines (2020 and 2021); contributing artist in three group exhibitions (2020); Griffith Award for Academic Excellence (2019 and 2020).

The often ignored effects of migration can have deep and ongoing implications, fragmenting and distorting the unstable experience of memory.

Shattered's key themes are societal influences on relationships within the home, where communication is a complex human interaction. Glass is a metaphor that has similar properties as relationships, using dualities of fragility and strength, and if broken, they are hard to repair.

My artworks utilising text and images of glass are puzzles that resist an easy interpretation.

Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours)

An attempt to narrow the gap between high and low visual culture in art, this series of works uses gestural painting to transform digital imagery and bring them into a space of appreciation.

Through mark-making, colour and precise rendering, these works intertwine traditional painting methods inspired by Abstract Expressionism with characters and icons pulled from one's own adolescent nostalgia.

Bachelor of Photography/Bachelor of Business

Privacy Unveiled draws a connection between the unseen behind the closed doors of Queensland homes and the seen within the public sector.

Combining private and public life, this series of photographs is displayed resembling CCTV surveillance monitors, highlighting the repetitive themes of everyday life that occurs both in private and in public.

Marley Bitton

Bachelor of Design - Interior Design and Environments

The journey of personal experience shapes the way in which I design. Over the years, inspiration from curvature in forms, nature and trends focused around outside design sources such as fashion and beauty all play a part in my final design outcomes.

I am passionate about most areas of design, including interior design, product design, fashion design and graphic design.

Domestic Interior advocates for the labour of women in the domestic space.

Stitching reinforces the notion of feminine iconography. Motifs and figures are derived from my domestic surrounds. Painted and textile panels are interlocked resulting in vibrating colours and patterns. This assemblage of contrasting surfaces symbolizes the many obstacles the home environment negotiates.

OBSCURITY addresses the issue of Ageism in society, as it affects women.

The common Ageist beliefs in today's society are that older people have weaker physical and cognitive capabilities; are resistant to change; pose a burden on society. My project challenges those beliefs.

Max Conley

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

Domestic and industrial commodities from heterogenous origins are repurposed as a vehicle for abstraction. Pre-determined compositional systems erase selfhood to the mechanism of painting: rotations of metallic & beige tones. Stripped of referent, the intrinsic formal qualities hold their own agency. In turn, the commodities are estranged, presenting slippages between the familiar and unfamiliar.

Maya Peters

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

Horrors of the Unknown explores the idea that the subject matter in the horror film genre are derived from the unknown.

The viewer is invited to sit in a chair that is placed in front of a TV screen, which is the perspective of the mysterious creature that stands behind the chair. This reflects the moments of when I watch films from the horror genre, I feel as though there is a presence behind me.

The Double Room is a video installation that uses the domestic environment to evoke contemporary notions of the sublime. It seeks an epiphany of eternity by rupturing the flow of linear time and defamiliarising the viewer's perception of the mundane. It asks the viewer to slow down and be here now.

In the beating and transformation of clothing to pulp, I find myself in the act of destroying while simultaneously creating.

By connecting through my worn clothing as a second skin and a medium, I can begin to explore, understand, and reflect upon the complexities of self.

Owen Junior Kose

Paul Ledington

Master of Visual Arts

My work examines the idea of digital space and the dynamic digital image, exploring the ways that dynamic images can be generated out of still images, a form of digital image abstraction. The digital image involves transitions from physical to virtual and back.

This theme is developed using physical objects to alter the display of the digital image and reflect upon the digital/physical interface.

Peter Stevens

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

This work is part of my ongoing exploration of isolation.

In my work I collect fallen Norfolk Island Pine fronds from Redcliffe in the Moreton Bay region and arrange them into an aerial perspective image onto canvas.

Through lockdowns and restricted travel rules I afford time to the natural beauty of my local area and make visible what can often go unseen and forgotten in our daily routines.

Phoebe Ye

Bachelor of Photography - Advertising Photography

This series of prints explore ideas of female selfhood and experiences influenced by socio-cultural stereotypes and domestic pressures.

These images focus on the emotional dimension in a surreal and sensual style to invoke multiple layers of moods and invite viewers to challenge their perceptions and biases by unveiling the complexities and shape-shifting nature of identity.

While studying at QCA, I strengthened my design skills and unearthed my unique visual style. I am an optimistic, yet critically creative person, who loves to communicate ideas and themes through visual media. I'm looking forward to exploring what this field of visual communication can teach me post-graduation.

I have received the Griffith Award for Academic Excellence every year I have been at university. In my third year, I was lucky enough to be brought on board as a team member on the Griffith Design and Marketing team. This opportunity has allowed me to practice and grow further as a designer.

Now You See Me is a series of intricate gothic oil paintings that transcribe discombobulating childhood memories and relational traumas.

The paintings are not a revelation, but a reconciliation of unconscious traumas, cultural myths, and sense memories. They visualise the liminal haunting of the consciousness by the wounded inner child, that reaches out like a spirit, desperate and distorted.

Sam Summers

Bachelor of Design - Interior Design and Environments

These snapshots are some examples of my work over the course of the 4 years. The highlights of my degree have certainly been based in team project work, which is a true reflection of the professional design industry.

It is my hope that with further refinement of some technical skills, that these projects can serve as an advertisement of my capabilities as a designer. Some of this project work is currently in progress. My intention as a graduate and emerging designer is to fully flesh out the designs and concepts proposed post-graduating to further bolster and curate my professional portfolio.

This body of work is an exploration of materiality, and the ability of an object to retain and express memory. To harness the embodied memories of discarded agricultural implements they are assembled into a representational form that aligns in some way with the object memory. This shared association between form and memory imbues the works with additional layers of meaning.

My work encourages conversation about hyper-consumerist cultures and the denouement of objects within our everyday lives.

The viewer is asked to consider society's approval of waste as an existential crisis.

The sculptures showcase an assemblage of found objects, manipulated for the development of associative and precarious object-viewer relationships.

Hysterical Notions observes the domestic and mass culture in tension with the autonomous practice of abstraction.

I use craft methodologies, sewing together panels of satin and silk, to construct stretched patchwork supports. Abstractions painted atop the material interact with the fabric.

The works juxtapose textiles and abstraction, highlighting the gap between art and mass culture.

This work considers the experience of pain, and the sense of mystery inherent in the pain experience. Pain can be a frightening, alienating, confusing and ultimately confounding experience. In addition, the pained body exists in a state of heightened vulnerability. Opened up by surgical instruments, medical imaging, or supportive equipment in addition to being reduced to an uncomfortable state.

Dreams, in my experience, are simultaneously serene, unnerving, and violent. Within my piece, drawings depicting my dreams are compiled and captured with notes about the experience, documented within book form to be perused by the viewer.

Soft fabric mimics 'safe' plush toys to encourage the audience to physically interact with the work, contrasted to the 'unsafe' flesh theming of the materials.

In this work meaning is decentred, as I focus on the material forms of letters of the English alphabet and the literality of language.

Repetition alienates each form from its usual associations using the serial reproduction of screen printing, leaving each letter to float across the white page without aim or sequence. Here the sole purpose of the alphabet, to construct meaning, is made void.

Stuart Meyer-Plath

These works draw upon my perspective about dementia that I've witnessed in my aunt. My time invested in creating and obliterating these works allegorises the destructive progress of dementia upon an individual sufferer.

The degradation of the etchings, coupled with the emptiness in these works, references aspects of the complex nature of dementia: memory fragmentation and cognitive deterioration.
