Abi Billin

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

As a psychologist, I am interested in the consciousness of the self contained by the body. Skin is the edge of embodiment, the place where we gather sensory data to confirm distinctness from others. But that boundary is also fragile, easily disrupted, and fragmented. These indexical prints of my skin laid flat, look closely at the(my) skin container, reflecting on its vulnerability.

Data Echo' is my response to the digital. As our primary mode of connection and understanding, digital engagement is often compulsive and fleeting, its processes of creation hidden from the viewer. Hand-printed in multiple layers, these prints slow down and materially embed time and process within the surface creating a different relational experience. As handmade objects and sites for slow perceptual response, these prints highlight digital fluidity and artifice.

'Prince is a word with a star tied to it' is a series of prints exploring the concern for Generation Z as targeted consumers of 'vicarious nostalgia'. This type of nostalgia predates the birth of the consumer - past the lived experience, and toward a fictional representation of various bygone eras. In the case of Gen Z, the first true digital natives, the invitation to engage in a past that offers authentic experience is a welcome one - however, not without cost.

This Untitled series of drawings explores densely populated urban locations, their frequent state of change, and reflects on our associated disconnection from them. Using photography as a foundation, and post-impressionist drawing techniques, the works study the qualities and atmosphere of these everyday locations to evoke a new sense of their history.

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

Combing deep field of colour overlaid with repetitive mark making, All and Nothing records my internal state of being, speaking to the lasting effects of trauma. The marks are subtle from a distance, but upon closer inspection the effect is profound, the painting is riddled with these marks. They reach into every corner and no part is left unmarked.

Combining traditional mediums such as painting and sculpting with feminine crafts‚ such as sewing, I aim to capture the symbolism of powerful female deities and relate them to women of history and today.

I explore how we construct and alter our identity in order to be perceived in an ideal way. Research into the dynamic between self-presentation and self-perception led me to question whether this is performative or protective. Drawing from elements of house design, I visualise the layers we adorn ourselves with as we work to develop a truer sense of self under the critical eye of our audience.

Bevan Groves

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

We know when we like something, but to clarify why we experience that appreciation, those feelings and thoughts, is difficult. I have attempted to illustrate this concept through oil on canvas, wood, and metal. Rather than explaining why I find something beautiful, I offer a representation of my experience when presented with something that I have associated with beauty.

Bowie Dunne

Bachelor of Visual Art - Sculpture

Humanity has been concerned with identity for many millennia. My work attempts to unpack the self to create a vessel for introspection. Operating in tandem with philosophy and material, I seek to blur the boundary between artwork and audience. By utilising found objects and images, I create fantastical installations that alter the emotional state of the viewer. Artist and audience find a broader cognisance of identity through my work.

Caitlin Fraser investigations into the post medium occupy the space between painting and sculpture. Through research and absorption of contemporary culture, Caitlin fuses feminist concepts with a reimagining of fluxus as a satirical critique of highly commercial, profit-oriented hobby and DIY art. Abstracting materiality is a primary concern of my bed/fluxus nightstand, and of Caitlin's practice as a whole.

Facade of Masculinity is a series of photographs that explore the use of a facade or mask that is used throughout a male dominated sport. I created this body of work wanting to convey the impact that the use of the term "man up" is having upon men. The work documents men playing rugby and depicts their drive, skill, and defeat within the game as to develop a more complex narrative of men in sport.

Brighton as the venue for the 2077 Summer Olympic Games. LGBTQIA+ people were chosen as the design theme. In the aspect of Logo design, the black swan as the representative animal of LGBTQIA +. Its appearance refers to the skating sport of skates, meaning to cut through all difficulties, all the way forward. The black Swan is also said to achieve the impossible. In the poster design style, the main use is cyberpunk style.

Chong-Min Kong

Bachelor of Visual Art - Painting

Playing on the conventions of painting, Untitled establishes an uneasy relationship between the paint and surface. These formal problems are analogous to my experience of cultural identity, where a sense of belonging is implied but not resolved. The plastic horses (a self-reference to my year of the horse) move around the painterly minefield; trying to have a good sense of humour.

Col Mac

Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art

This is not a ghost story responds to an absence of contemporary cultural myths and how that effects our relationship with place and the past. Drawing from 18th century symbolism I use recognisable ghost story motifs to reflect on overlapping histories. Paintings and fragmented mirrors show these relationships as both static and alive; allowing us to experience more than one time simultaneously.

Embellished ceramic bananas embody popular culture and queer sexuality. Juxtaposed on found crates, blocks and ply sheets, they highlight the fetishisation of objects as products of desire. Working in luxury sales and being of Thai descent, I became aware of labour involved in the studio and the items that I sell. Each piece of fruit is individual, meticulously assembled, yet produced as if in a factory. The banana is playful, symbolising fruit or phallus.

Who Are the Others? I made this work in response to my experience of racism in Australia. Race is a social construct and a form of othering.

My aim is to invite the viewer to be a witness to othering and to grow in empathy and understanding.

Its aim is accessibility, comfort, ease of use, and inclusivity, which are achieved by elevating the grip of the PS4 controller through cutting-edge accessories crafted to harmonise with the unique contours of women's hands.

Water falls, Apart in air, Hangs like hair, Light installs, Itself in strands, Of water falling, The cliff stands. Menashe. These paintings developed from my fascination with waterfalls and the way light is captured in motion. Intuitively collaborating with the material properties of water and paint, using all manner of tools and techniques, I create works that offer moments of reflection and reconnection.

My still life is motivated by a desire to reflect rather than make meaning off the objects presented. This series of paintings focuses on unconventional methods of representation whilst illuminating the unseen or overlooked. I chose to concentrate my visuality not so much on the objects represented, but on the surface of the glass. This requires time and the slowing down of vision, looking closely and observing the intricacies of the overlooked.

Wireless Earbuds contribute significantly to E-Waste due to their limited, tedious and destructive repair options for part replacement. To change this, ReVibe provides ease of repair with a user-friendly repair guide, intuitive part replacement and access to standardised parts and tools.

"Swords of Identity" is a series of historically inspired ornamental steel swords created using intuitively led heritage influences and Gothic medieval themes. Influences come from my German and Danish heritage, with my last name Cutler meaning "maker of swords".

Reframing the Ideal proposes a re-vision of the social ideal of feminine beauty with its destructive effects on our sense of self. From birth we are watched, judged and taught to conform. By hijacking the tradition of the "nude" and using paint and discarded fabric to create sites of feminist resistance, I offer alternative possibilities where the naked female is subversive, undisguised and freely imperfect.

Penelope Dryden

Bachelor of Visual Art - Painting

Informed by 17th century Dutch genre-painting, which depicted everyday peasant life through frankness and social satire, these paintings reflect on chronic illness and its accompanying cultural taboos. Through repurposing these symbols in a contemporary context, the prejudices once integral to the works become absurd and humorous. In illustrating the mundane, impolite realities of chronic illness I reflect on the universality of sickness.

To etch at this scale is to centre oneself on every inhale and exhale. In the stillness between breaths, each cell is called to respond. These double-sided, multi-plate printed etchings are held in a state of tension and with each layer a visual language is developed. This language acts as a legend to navigate the friction between macro and micro viewing.
