2022 Highlights & Achievements

Astrid's visual arts work, Fragile memories, will be exhibited at Hawkesbury Regional Art Gallery. "My Body of Work delves into the arbitrary hoarding of items we take part in, with the permanency of the pen resembling the lifelong personal importance inanimate objects can hold."

Lucy's visual arts work, To The Slaughter will be exhibited at Western Plains Cultural Centre (.WPCC). "To The Slaughter… is a commentary piece on the phenomenon that is mass food production - specifically red meat, and the impact that the grotesque over-production of this product has on the global environment and humanity alike."

Lucy's visual arts work, Foreclosure, will be exhibited at the Hazelhurst Arts Centre. "My Body of Work addresses how multinational companies dominate the market causing small businesses such as the iconic local corner store, which once existed as a part of the Australian vernacular, to go bankrupt."

Lilian's visual arts work, Entanglement in International Waters, will be exhibited at the Glasshouse Regional Gallery. "My work examines the negative impacts of globalisation on the fishing industry within the politically charged context of international waters." 

Angela's visual arts work 你吃了吗? (Have you eaten?) will be exhibited at the Mudgee Arts Precinct (MAP). "Just like every culture, there are dishes and recipes that are passed down generationally and modified uniquely within each family. Homemade meals are a form of love and bring a sense of comfort that is found through security and familiarity."

Selected to exhibit her Textiles and Design work at Gallery 76, Concord West, from 5 March - 28 April 2023. Satsuki's work is a costume to be worn by Elle Fanning at a launch party for the live-action remake of Peter Pan, in which Fanning plays the role of Tinkerbell. Inspiration is drawn from contemporary fibre-artist Channing Hansen, Rococo Era dresses and English folklore fairies. A variety of techniques from each source have been applied, including a traditional laced corset, knitting and crocheting with fine Mohair Silk yarn and detailed embellishments throughout. The organic colour scheme ties all elements of the costume together to reflect the folklore fairy scenery.

Selected for a one week run in February 2023 at the Seymour Centre. Hysteria examines how the treatment of specific medical concerns to do with female sexuality have historically been dominated by male physicians. The students mapped the history of the invention of the vibrator and how it has mirrored the trajectory of women taking back control of their own sexuality. It is an innovative and thought provoking piece.
