Brianne extends her practice through the structure of primary and secondary information adopted from the curatorial practices of Seth Siegelaub in the 1960’s, establishing a ‘tertiary-level’ of artistic enquiry. Her current investigations focus on the use of historical appropriation through both material and process.

BLASCO uses digital photography and common building materials to assemble three-dimensional constructions that reconstruct interior spaces and outdoor environments culled from the artist’s personal New York cityscape.
BLASCO combines architecture, photography and installation to explore themes of vision and perception in relation to physical experience. His work often references the realm of private or domestic space. Normally his work begins by selecting one angle in a room or outdoors and then constructs a new space from the perspective of that vantage point.

Emma Godfrey is a Brisbane based contemporary artist. Her practice explores the construction of poetic forms that are abstract and dream like. Creating an objective position forcing the viewers to interpret the work for themselves. Organic and natural forms investigate her practice as she enhances the serenity of the world through purity and innocence.
Powerful thoughts are stimulated through her work, which are seen aesthetically pleasing as she emphasizes beauty through gruesome ideas.
This is done through molding materials with intricacy and structure in mind. This allows the work to stand strong, powerful and speaks for itself.
Emma’s practice is developed through play as she allows her imagination to break free, embracing her creativity, allowing it to be removed from her mind and to be viewed in society through her artistic works.

Colours of the void, 1400 x 900mm, timber and acrylic paint
Controlled chaos … In life, I am fascinated by how on one level chaos reigns, but when you look closely enough at something, each element is completely controlled, planned and perfectly imperfect.

As a sculptor I am interested in the convergence of everyday found materials and communication through the construction process. The materials I select for my work are collected from the streets of Brisbane suburbs where they have been discarded from domestic or renovation sites and industrial areas. I am attracted to and utilise materials that contain painterly and worn characteristics as a way of not only translating painting and drawing into real space but evoking a sense of time and place. The work itself is created spontaneously depending on the materials and objects found at the time. The composition is largely developed intuitively.
Incorporated within the use and transformational process of these materials, are various perspectives and motivations that stem from social, cultural, economical, historical and aesthetic values. These aspects coincide with the way various components of memory are used to relate and associate with everyday materials.
Through the investigation of material, construction, placement and space the dichotomies of internal and external, decay and rejuvenation, presence and absence, durability and fragility become evident. These characteristics become a device for response, imagination and memory, which correspond with the projection of one’s own experience onto the work.

Michael Candy is a new and emerging kinetic artist who burst onto the scene in early 2010. Michael approaches kinetic sculpture with an organic aesthetic, often using fallen branches, leafs and even living plant life within his sculptures. His works often aim to provoke thought on the balance of nature and technology, and the conflicts between the two.
Michael is currently studying a bachelor of fine arts and industrial design at QUT.
