FEATURED ARTISTS

Robert Andrew
Robert Andrew is a decedent of the Yawuru people from the Broome area in the Kimberley, Western Australia, and also has European and Filipino heritage. Robert’s work investigates denied and forgotten histories by combining programmable machinery with natural materials that erode and create residues over time.

Courtney Coombs
Courtney Coombs (they/their) makes art, writes, facilitates and collaborates to try to make sense of the world and their place in it. They are fascinated by the potential for, and power of, connection and disconnection and explore this by re-imagining everyday and seemingly banal moments of encounter.

Caitlin Franzmann
Caitlin Franzmann explores contemporary art’s potential to instigate change by way of critical listening, dialogue and self-empowerment. In reaction to the fast pace and sensory overstimulation of contemporary urban life, she creates situations to encourage slowness, mindful contemplation, and social interaction in both galleries and public spaces.

Itamar Freed and Courtney Scheu
Itamar Freed and Courtney Scheu are interdisciplinary artists who collaborate and create work in response to environment and place. Across forms of dance, sculpture, video and photography they explore distinctions between the natural and artificial, and the real and manufactured.

Judy Watson
Judy Watson’s matrilineal family is from Waanyi country in north-west Queensland. Working across printmaking, painting, drawing and video her work often examines collective memory and employs archival material and research as a way to reveal institutional discrimination against Aboriginal people.
