John Doyle

is a Brisbane based artist. His practice encompasses assemblage, sculpture, drawing, collage and painting within a modernist aesthetic. He works intuitively relying on form and meaning developing organically as he works.

Clare Purser’s

work is a direct response to the landscape of South East Queensland, reflecting on the beauty but also highlighting the extreme fragility of our ecosystems. The ancient mountains and rainforests of Yugamba Country (Border Ranges) and Moreton Bay have been recent sources of investigation. Purser explores ideas of identity through connection to landscape, spirit and place, and enjoys field trips and plein air painting.

Leigh Camilleri

is a Redlands based artist who has been creating works in Australia for many years and been included in many exhibitions. Her practice is based around drawing and painting and her work explores elements of landscape, building a connection between the visual and physical: researching the land, being on the land and discovering relationships between Wind/Air, Water, Earth and Fire, and pulling together some of these earthly ingredients.

Maren Götzmann

is a Brisbane and Berlin based artist working across the media of drawing, printmaking, artist books and textiles. Her practice explores concepts surrounding questions of dis/placement, migration and the positioning of humans within the world. Götzmann focuses on using collaborative processes as a deliberate tool to critique an increasingly market-driven interest in authorship, pre-occupied with individual success and commercial value.

Rose Moxham’s

work is based in nature. The work is abstracted, reductive, the focus is on rhythm and the relationships between form, surface and limited colour; it is built by repetition, laying down the paint, undoing it, leaving evidence of the hand.

Sylvia Watt’s

work is textile based, focused on layering, texture, form, mark-making, paring back and responding. 
Watt and Moxham are sisters who have exhibited nationally and internationally, but never together as sisters. They think and work differently, use different materials, but their sensibilities have so often met, crossed, and recrossed. While their show is not a collaboration, it is a celebration.

Lisa Pullen

is a visual artist predominantly working in the media of printmaking, watercolour and drawing, the latter being the core of her artistic expression. Her mostly figurative and striking black and white works explore notions of psychological landscapes, while her smaller, intimate watercolour drawings investigate the nature of still life, referring to imagery from historical and contemporary visual material.

Joan Welsh

is a Brisbane based artist working across various media, with an emphasis on printmaking. In her series of paintings encompassing water, she has deliberately stopped short early in the process to enjoy the moment when the brush meets the paper, allowing her the ebb and flow of control and chance to capture the moment.
