Invisible
Roots was created as a tribute to the amazing changes that are happening thanks
to leaders that are completely engaged with the protection and development of
their communities. Invisible Roots hopes to awaken the desire in people, with
no regard of their ethnicity, to reconnect with where we come from and who we
are, to start realising that our roots make us unique in a world where
everything is starting to look the same; and through this desire, inspire the
recognition and preservation of our ancestral cultures.

This
work explores the impact of the Anthropocene on two islands, and
generally the impact of humans and tourism on the local marine
populations. Due to the
upwelling Humboldt Current, Galapagos Island has little or no ocean debris. In contrast, Lord Howe Island, isolated 600 km off the Australian coast
is constantly bombarded with ocean debris.
This
work is a social, ethical and environmental comment on the
human connection to our oceans. It is an enquiry into the ways in which individual people and
science are working to save non-human life and
deal with climate change, and increasing ocean
pollution. It juxtaposes the creation of more disposable
technology and plastics with our concern for the preservation of the
marine environment.

My large
totemic ceramic sculptures construct objects of an archaic imagined ritual cult
reiligion that either happened in the past or could be of the future.

My art
installation investigates the issue of ableism or discrimination against less
able bodied swimmers in public pools. In a throwback to the Nazi era elite
swimmers are often unfairly privileged while those with injuries, disabilities
or older swimmers struggle for equal access. This artwork highlights such
social inequality and presents a protest banner, photographic documentation and
actual email correspondence between a less able bodied swimmer and pool
management. The installation also includes portraits of people randomly
selected from the street who were asked to pose in front of this banner to be
part of the exhibition if they agreed with its message. http://bernadettesmithart.blogspot.com.au

Through
alchemical experimentations and abstractions my work explores the materiality
of the photograph as an object, and the spaces between painting and
photography.

Niall Robb
is a multidisciplinary artist who engages with varied materialities and
minimalist forms, positioning materials and more specifically their surfaces as
sites of engagement and wonder, investigating “surface encounters” which
trouble conceived notions of the “thickness of existence.”

Each of us
has a name – Zelda Schneersohn Mishkovsky.
Each of us
has a name, given by God, and given by our parents
Each of us
has a name, given by our stature and our smile, and given by what we wear
Each of us
has a name, given by the mountains, and given by our walls
Each of us
has a name, given by the stars, and given by our neighbours
Each of us
has a name, given by our sins, and given by our longing
Each of us
has a name, given by our enemies, and given by our love
Each of us
has a name, given by our celebrations, and given by our work
Each of us
has a name, given by the seasons, and given by our blindness
Each of us
has a name, given by the sea, and given by, our death.
