green 2004 GRADUATING STUDENT CATALOGUE ANU School of Art 1 Director’s Foreword green:2004 graduating students exhibition is a celebration. It marks the culmination of studies by candidates for the Bachelor of Arts (Visual) with Honours; Bachelor of Arts (Visual); combined degrees and the Diploma of Art at the Australian National University School of Art. The achievements are of students who have come to the Australian National University from the local region, elsewhere in Australia and from overseas. Courses at the ANU School of Art offer in-depth studies in a variety of visual arts and crafts disciplines in a stimulating tertiary environment and in well equipped workshops. Students have the opportunity to combine degrees, can participate in field studies, computer studies, artist books, papermaking and applied design, which complement and enhance their studio and art theory programs. All our lecturers are professional artists and craftspeople. They are great assets to the School and the University and the students benefit greatly from their experience and expertise. The Schoolʼs active Visiting Artists Program complements the teaching staff and the lively student exchange program offers new experiences to those who study overseas as well as bringing students from all over the world to our campus. green:2004 graduating students exhibition is a large scale exhibition presented in the ANU School of Art Gallery, Foyer Gallery, Photospace and in Workshop spaces throughout the School. The ANU School of Art Gallery shows a single work by each student produced in their final year of study. Further works can be seen in Workshop exhibitions around the school, to which the public is welcomed. Every December we join our graduating students to celebrate their accomplishments. It is an exciting time of year when months of preparation culminate in the succesful production of this full colour catalogue and grand scale exhibition. 2 The ANU School of Art thanks Patsy Hely, Honours Co-ordinator; Anita McIntyre, Visiting Fellow and Student Academic Advisor; and the academic staff and technical officers from all Workshops, all of whom have worked with the School of Art Gallery staff Bronwen Sandland, James Holland and Julie Cuerden-Clifford, to make green:2004 graduating students exhibition a great success. Patrons of our Emerging Artists Support Scheme (EASS) continue to support our graduating students as they start their professional careers. We gratefully acknowledge and thank our many EASS Patrons for their dedication and enthusiasm for this program, this year co-ordinated by Waratah Lahy. Finally, congratulations to the graduates of 2004, on their impressive achievements. I commend their work to audiences now and in the future. The ANU School of Art staff and students wish all the graduates successful and productive careers and invite them to remain an active part of the ANU through our national and international Alumni networks. Professor David Williams Director School of Art Australian National University December 2004 3 EASS Emerging Artist Support Scheme The Australian National University School of Artʼs successful Emerging Artists Support Scheme (EASS) has been operating for the past fifteen years. Many of our patrons such as Mallesons Stephen Jaques, NECG, KPMG and the Australian National University have supported ANU School of Art graduates throughout this period. We are always pleased to welcome new and continuing patrons to the 2004 EASS program. Through this scheme patrons can sponsor awards, scholarships, prizes and commissions, can acquire art for their own collection or borrow works through the EASS Loan Scheme. The ANU School of Art and its graduates greatly appreciate this support from the ACT community. Such generous sponsorship from local business and arts organisations represents assistance for graduating artists at a time when it is most valuable; at the commencement of their independent studio practice. The scheme also plays a significant role in encouraging emerging practitioners to remain in the region. In this regard the residencies and exhibition opportunities offered by Megalo Access Arts Inc., PhotoAccess, Strathnairn Arts Association, Canberra Contemporary Art Space, Craft ACT, M16, The Hive, Belconnen Arts Centre, Tuggeranong Community Arts Centre, Canberra Grammar, Hawker College and the Potterʼs Society are particularly valuable. The ANU School of Art Emerging Artist Support Scheme continues to provide much needed support for artists as they graduate, establish an independent practice and contribute to the lively and growing visual arts community from which we all benefit. The Australian National University School of Art expresses appreciation and thanks to all EASS Patrons and this yearʼs EASS Coordinator, Waratah Lahy. 4 With Thanks to our Patrons MAJOR SPONSOR NECG: Network Economics Consulting Group SCHOLARSHIPS, AWARDS & PRIZES Peter and Lena Karmel Anniversary Award Embassy of Spain Travelling Scholarship Nigel Thompson Travelling Scholarship Pamille Berg & Robin Blau Logos Award Canberra Museum and Gallery Award Westende Travelling Scholarships ANU School of Art Drawing Prize NECG Honours Scholarships The Kamberra Glass Prize Neil Roberts Award Parker Financial Award Hiroe and Cornel Swen Award The Burgmann College Art Scholarship The PIE Award in memory of David Watt ANU Research School for Pacific and Asian Studies Award King O’Malley School of Art Graduate Materials Award ANU Centre for Resources and Environmental Studies Award The Artists Society of Canberra Inc.

Animals are important for my art because they symbolize all the important aspects for my work – beauty, character, expression, power, nature and purity. 10 Gang of Blue tongues 2004, stoneware, cobalt slip, sgraffito technique, 10.9 x 10.8 x 9.7 cm. Janet Fieldhouse Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Honours My work is an expression of material culture, rituals of social and religious life, and artifacts which are created to fulfill the functional and spiritual needs of peoples of the Torres Strait. Bridal Pendants 2004, ceramic, 8.9 x 11 x 36.2 cm. Photo: Sean Booth. 11 Jozsef Godolley Diploma of Art With my work I have expressed my deep feelings for the Kimberley’s where I have lived for over 12 years. The Boab tree represents a great strength with it’s shape, toughness and beauty. The aeroplanes are big part of my life. I have expressed my feelings for nature and machines in these images. 12 Boab Series 2004, maiolica, left: Ø28 cm, right: Ø25 cm. Robyn Gough Diploma of Art I have begun an adventure to last a lifetime, an exploration of the interaction between clay and soda vapour. One exciting discovery has been the formation of a beautiful glass drop. Am I blue? 2004, soda glazed porcelain, dimensions variable. Photo: Robyn Whitworth. 13 Maryke Henderson Bachelor of Arts (Visual) I like to think of my work in terms of presentation, rather than representation. These works involve the space around and therefore the person who may happen to be in that space, building a relationship between themselves and the vessel. I wonder if the everyday use of these vessels in the home, may change them and the moment into something more, that they have the potential to take on their own identity, uniting as one, form, function, surface and substance and interacting with the user by asking to be used. These are thrown pieces, cut and manipulated to form the handle while the clay is still plastic and joined to the base. 14 Bowl 2004, stoneware, soda glaze, 30 x 6 cm. Photo: Melody Gough. Chiko Jones Diploma of Art This work is about an investigation and research into the technique of colour clay lamination and shellac resist on the surface of porcelain and creating an image that takes viewers beyond the confines of the form. Distant Shores 2004, Southern Ice porcelain, 16 x 8 x 7 cm, 11 x 8 x 7 cm. Photo: ANU Photography. 15 Ben Kendon Diploma of Art My inspiration originates from colour, light and pattern, as seen in landscape both terrestrial and celestial. My ceramic focus in 2004 has been an exploration of this theme, through the application of glazes suited to reduction firing to wheel thrown forms. 16 Near Surface, Bowl and Vase Forms 2004, ceramics, bowl 8 x Ø28 cm. Choi Ling (Elaine) Kong Diploma of Art Eternity. In my belief, only God is eternally existent. And, seeking eternity is indeed in the heart of everyone. Expressing eternity is a strong passion that leads the whole journey of my works. It is not just a physical journey but also a spiritual one. One may discover meaning through the unseen mystery. Eternity #7 2004, slab built stoneware with terrasigillata slip, 29 x 24 x 25 cm. 17 Helen Martin 18 Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Honours Dreams and memories: made with love 2004, glazed knitting, 5 x Ø12 cm.

Pieces are articulated on stainless steel wires giving a lightness and movement to the work and a contrasting permanence which nature does not. 20 Fungal Fantasy 2004, clay discs, fired 1200, oxidation, stainless steel wires, steel tray, and support frame, 112 x 52 x 40 cm. Photo: ANU Photography. Joel Tan Diploma of Art Untitled 2004, ceramics, dimensions variable. 21 Clementine Underdown Diploma of Art These forms are the tangible expression of the relationship between trees and man. How we are both made up of layers of texture and colour. We each carry scars and need to bend and twist with our experiences. Our survival is interdependent upon each other. If the essence of the tree is lost, will we be lost? 22 Gardians of the Earth 2004, ceramics, 54 x 8 x 5 cm, 27 x 6 x 6 cm, 64 x 16 x 7 cm. Sharon Wessels Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Mogreen 2004, photograph, Seoul, South Korea, dimensions variable. 23 Robyn Whitworth Diploma of Art While walking through the landscape I absorb sights, sounds and smells and I feel trees, plants, rocks, soil, snow and sand - the textures of nature. These are my inspiration. As in nature no two are the same, each is shaped by the clay, the tool, my mood, and how they are fired. 24 See Me Series 2004, porcelain, 15 x 20 x 15 cm, Hold Me Series 2004, porcelain, soda fired, 7 x 5 x 5 cm, Hold me Series 2004, stoneware, soda fired , 10 x 5 x 5 cm.

I use the individual vessel as a container of memory and the repetition of these vessels as an expression of personal identity. self portrait (detail) 2004, blown glass, dimensions variable. 27 Megan Bottari Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Honours As a writer-turned-visual-artist it is hardly surprising that my creative bent should remain firmly rooted in narrative. My Honours work, ostensibly about the Ned Kelly story, delved into the socio-historic in order to investigate the psychological landscape that yet gives warp to our enduringly rebellious national character. Capturing a graphic sense of arrested violence, the gunshot landscape alludes to the mountainous terrain of the Wombat/ Strathbogie Ranges from whence Ned and the boys were calamitously propelled irrevocably into outlawry following the police ‘massacre’ at Stringybark Creek. 28 Great Savage Land 2004, gunshot plate glass, 180 x 30 x 35 cm.

Deirdre Feeney Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Untitled 2004, video still of digital animation on cast glass, 26 x 26 x 16 cm. 29 Akie Haga Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Honours The past is never dead. It’s not even past. William Faulkner, As eve said to the serpent; Georgia: University of Georgia Press, 2001, p.192. The past dwells as a ‘stain’ under the skin. The body is the vehicle of the mind, and the mind is the canvas of the body. The interplay between the physical realm and the psychological realm is the fundamental theme of my work. 30 When Seeing the Echoes in a Forest 2004, glass, dimensions variable. Gabrielle Heywood Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Honours This work looks at rural landscapes, human habitation and the disappearing remnants of the natural world. My work reflects both a sense of being in this landscape and the observations of the rapid depletion of surrounding natural entities in favour of the remodelled, the constructed and the built environment. Forest from Landscape Veneers Series 2004, float glass, low fire enamels, 35 x 120 cm. Photo: ANU Photography. 31 Jessica Holtz Bachelor of Arts (Visual) These wall forms are a way of expressing intangible moments or emotions. I am trying to capture that essence of a moment, such as a passing cloud. 32 Cloudscape 2004, fused and sandblasted glass, largest piece: 24 x 10 cm. Colin Lister Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Cyber culture has been the guiding influence in my work exploring the concept of customisation and interactivity and the role choice plays in the design of a hyper consumer object. The user can decide for them selves what colour and what feature panel or “skin” is included into the bowl. interactive bowl project, yellow with skin 2004, hot blown glass and metal with magnets, 17 x 17 x 17 cm. 33 Lee Mathers Bachelor of Arts (Visual) lightly shadowed sanely insane pleasurable pain wakeful sleeping beautifully grotesque whispered screaming can you feel me... living dying. 34 untitled 2004, glass, dimensions variable.

Aaron de Smet Bachelor of Arts (Visual) A water vessel is designed to hold liquid. I have taken the approach to my work that the vessel should reflect that which it is holding, embracing the fluidic nature of the substance, like a droplet falling into a body of water. Water vessel 2004, silver plated-gilding metal, anodised aluminium, 27 x 27 x 30 cm. 39 Emily O’Brien 40 Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Hair Chairs 2004, anodised aluminium and enamel paint resist, dimensions variable.

I have been exploring ‘the angelic’ space, a space that has little room in the scientific and realistic realms of contemporary society. I have embraced imagination, intuition, memory and even a space where the spirit may preside. 46 Images of Angels - Memories and Reflections 2004, oil on canvas, 550 x 840 cm. Daniel Flood Bachelor of Arts (Visual) I just wanted to come here. It’s kind of embarassing. I had a dream about this place. I’m in here, but it’s not day or night, it’s kind of half night, you know? But, it looks just like this, except for the light. Of all people, you’re standing right over there. By that counter. David Lynch, (Writer/Director) Mullholland Drive, Universal Studios, 2001.

Karena Keys Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Painting on the one hand brings you back to physical reality … the thick oil paint, the bidimensionality of the surface … But at the same time the imagery refers to other things. The memory of something …. They do deal with physical reality and illusion simultaneously. Jonathan Lasker, Jonathan Lasker, 1977-2003: Paintings, Drawings, Studies; Dusseldorf: Ruchter, 2003, p.113.

Carmel McCrow Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Mind and body become indivisible in beauty. Beauty teaches me that my brain is a physical organ and that ‘intelligence’ is not limited to thought, but entails feeling and sensation, the whole organism in concert. Centrally involved is a subtle activity of hormonal excitation in or about the heart – as between man and woman.

Stephanie Scroope Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Honours Untitled (Andrea with Scarab Beetles) 2004, oil on canvas, 100 x 120 cm. 63 Kerry Shepherdson Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Honours … face to face with the space and light of the natural world, it is difficult to avoid the realization that in time all must change and pass away, only to be ultimately renewed … Graham Collier, Form, Space and Vision; Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, USA: Third Edition by Prentice Hall Inc., 1972. p.66. 64 Summer Satellite 2004, acrylic on canvas, 132 x 204 cm. Jason Shuttleworth Bachelor of Arts (Visual) No matter what kind of childhood you have, there’s a feeling of sensing more than just what your able to see in front of you. A lot of information comes to us, not just in the form of words or pictures. That’s one of the things I remember about being young. David Lynch (filmmaker), Discussion of ideas and their origins, interview transcribed by Melissa Musser, KCRW Radio Station, Santa Monica, California, USA; 19.02.1997. Startling Revelations 2 2004, oil on board, 40 x 101 cm. 65 A.G.Stokes(Ann Smith) Bachelor of Arts (Visual) My paintings may be termed landscapes, yet my interest is ultimately in the human condition. In my latest works I have taken the suburban environment as a subject through which to convey mood, with depictions of house and garden or suburban parkland expressive of an unexpected psychological state of unease. 66 Autumn hanging 2004, oil on canvas, 50 x 85 cm.

Peggy Spratt Bachelor of Arts (Visual) The bushfires of January 2003 devastated the native forests in the ACT but the regeneration that has occurred since has been remarkable, especially as we are still in drought.

I enjoy images that have a strong optical energy, so I strive to create this in my own work.

One cannot be without the ‘Others’. In this era of globalization, this project questions the definition of an individual’s identity in such a seemingly homogenous society. 82 pronouns 2004, digital inkjet print, 100 x 150 cm. Lauren McCarthy Bachelor of Arts (Visual) This work follows the familiar character Alice, beyond the non-sensical world created by the author Lewis Carroll. Here, she appears as a fully grown women in a domestic realm. Vastly different from the wonderland envisaged by Carroll, Alice’s new environment is banal and mandane.

You’d be surprised what you know. But it’s what we imagine that intrigues us. The mood of each house tells a story, willing us to let our minds wander – have our worst fears come true or has our obsession with watching gone too far? 86 Untitled from the series Inhabited 2004, digital print, 40 x 60 cm. Paula Sammut Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Honours Untitled from the series Eucalyptus Botanical 2004, digital image, 150 x 100 cm. 87 Ben Smith-Whatley Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Most visual representations of stories only show the outward appearance of a person’s struggle through life’s problems. I aim to show what is going on in that person’s mind, giving the audience a greater understanding of the feelings and thoughts racing through the character’s head. 88 Four stills from the video Inside the Mind of a Hopeless Romantic 2004, digital video, 10 min.

Erin Field Bachelor of Arts (Visual) I am interested in the way we attempt to order the objects, relationships, places and images surrounding us in order to gain a sense of control and power.

The recent work I have produced explores paradoxes that are a part of what I have labelled the Adult Life of Comfort and Comfort of Home, which in the context of the domestic environment of the home aims to explore the emotions of detachment and distance and ultimately psychological discomfort. Photographer Du Bois is quoted in an essay that appeared in a text entitled Pleasures and Terrors of Domestic Comfort, and comments on a similar theme of distance and detachment in the context of his own family: In my most intimate photographs there is a detachment that speaks of my isolation. I no longer see my family as an assured source of comfort but as part of the confusion of my adult life. In the conflict between intimacy and detachment, I feel the loss of my childhood family.

Memory in childhood (ch.12) in Alan D. Baddeley, Essential of human memory; Hove: Psychology Press Ltd, 1999.

The materials I use are those of the by-catch of the wood chipping industry in Tasmania. I strive to encompass the entire process in my work from the log to the finished product.
