Linden Braye investigates cultural and material
constructions with humour and pathos. In Now
I Know Where you Live she draws together various concepts and materials of her
practice, which include nature, and the loss of nature within built
environments and the social representations of it. In ‘Found’ as opposed to
’lost’, the tapestry and the hand written message on the polystyrene lid were
collected on two different occasions in different locations. Both hold cultural
and material curiosity; that of craft practices, historical information and
social engagement. By chance these two objects were united in a cartoon-like
representation with the ‘Outsiders’,
the skeletal structure of the dome and the blanket.

Sue Callanan works in sculptural installation and art in public space, and
uses text to prompt an awareness of the relationship between the body of the
viewer and its relationship to surrounding architecture and objects. In What
you see...... the text is a play with perceptions and a twist on a commonly
used expression

Rose Ann McGreevy: This work, Three Easy Lessons, is a homage to
Joseph Beuys who gave me a tutorial in a Belfast pub as well as in my studio
when I was a second year under-graduate student and he was visiting Belfast Art
College (University of Ulster) and also doing a work in the Museum of Belfast.

Margaret Roberts works with
drawing-installation and the live space in which it is located. The digital prints in LOST are part of the documentation of Polygon Landscape, an interactive work
made for the NSW town of Kandos and its art festival, Cementa_13. The work was
made by cutting the shapes made by the street-views of 40 randomly selected
Kandos houses from triwall cardboard, with details removed for ease of cutting with
circular saw. The shapes were laid out in the Kandos Scout Hall - Kandos
residents were invited to identify their house's shape and take it home.
Unclaimed shapes were offered to others to foster. The prints show some of the
houses with their polygon and its carer or foster location. The artist was
thinking of the seemingly random impact of fire and floor on towns etc, and of
the need to value the places in which we live.

| Michele Elliot works with drawing, sculpture and installation. The into ether drawings are constructed through repetitive mark-making and accumulative action of the hand. The shapes are traced from gestures of the artist’s hand and are paired, left and right hand, facing towards and turning away from the other. They carry a soft tension, a magnetic push and pull of attraction and repulsion.www.micheleelliot.com |

Lynne Barwick's work explores subjectivity, through
writing techniques and genres, including fictional voices, visual poetry and
criticism. Barwick’s Scrivener takes its lead from Herman
Melville’s short story Bartleby, The Scrivener: A Story of Wall
Street, and the clerk who decides he 'would prefer not to'. http://lynnebarwick.blogspot.com.au/

Emma Wise creates spatial
interventions in response to sites – interior, exterior and in between. She has
recently been incorporating sound elements in her indoor work, usually in the
documentary spirit. A theme that consistently emerges is territory; she is
interested in borders and barriers, passages and restrictions, possession and
occupation. Her installations often involve repetition and sometimes use
collections of found objects; she also likes to bake.
