Message from Jenny
Hughes, Chief Executive
Catalyst Foundation is playing a vital role in the
lives of many South Australians by helping people
to access information, connect with services and
community organisations and delivering inclusive
services and programs in Ageing, Disability,
Learning, Business and Employment and Lifestyle.
This exhibition further highlights our commitment
to working across cultures, promoting inclusion
to and in the community and showcasing unity by
connecting with the arts and its expressiveness.
I encourage you to visit and explore all of the
works on exhibit and thank you for supporting the
wonderful living artists that South Australia has to
offer.
Enjoy!
About the Exhibition
‘Images From Another Perspective’
As we look out through our windows
and door ways into the streets we see
our world, but look beyond that often
1-dimensional environment and see
things from another perspective.
In this exhibition we want to
showcase what others do not always
see, other lives, other communities
and other worlds.
‘Images from Another
Perspective’, SALA
The ‘Images From Another Perspective’
Exhibition brings together a diverse
collective of established and emerging
living artists from within South Australia
and aims to capture images from older
people as well as people from Disability,
Cultural & Linguistically Diverse
backgrounds, Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander; and Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender & Intersex
communities.
The exhibition features a mix of media
used including digital photography,
traditional photography, painting, and
sculpture.

Kate Erne
Kate grew up in the picturesque Suffolk village of East
Bergholt UK famously known for its Bell Cage whereby
the bells are hand rang on the ground and the painting
The “Hay Wain” by John Constable (1821) which now
hangs in The National Gallery London. Kate immigrated
from to UK with her family to South Australia in 2002
and has settled in Adelaide ever since.
To establish her interest in the Adelaide art scene Kate
engaged with a number of art enthusiasts who formed
the St Peters Cathedral Art Show and served as a
committee member for 7 years. The art show is currently
a significant event in the arts calendar in South
Australia.
Kate first became interested in art in her teens and
was influenced by a local known artist and architect
whereby she would make trees for his diorama’s and
also assisted with his art exhibitions. Kate is a selftaught artist and uses acrylic as her preferred medium,
she enjoys abstract imagery and imagination not only
having a subject idea in her own mind but allowing
others to delve deep into their own thoughts and ideas
to what the artist may be thinking.
Michael Grant Johnson
Michael grew up and resides in the Adelaide Hills.
Inspired by the diversity of the natural environment
and the changing seasons around him, his artwork
communicates his feelings for nature, his aim being to
illustrate our fragility as part of a species within the
natural world.
Michael’s art communicates his dreams, feelings and
personal awareness for the necessary conservation and
protection of our natural world in the 21st century.
He believes we are the custodians of our planet, and
responsibility lies with each of us to preserve the
life surrounding us, and his pictures depict species
morphing and mutating their form in order to survive
our changing climate.
Using his preferred medium of Derwent and Faber
Castell pencil on paper, Michael constructs his images
with no preliminary back up sketching or planning,
allowing his imagery to evolve from the mental picture
he already has. Michael expresses his optimism for
the natural world’s survival through its ability to
continually adapt by using bright and vibrant colours to
portray his faith in the future.
Alifiya Haidermota
Alifiya is a practicing artist, photographer and graphic
designer.
She is a member at the Royal South Australian Society
of Arts, where she volunteers in her free time. She

galleries in Australia.

Paul Stone
Paul is a staff member of Catalyst Foundation and also
an Adelaide based artist.
He discovered photography from the age of 16 and has
continued to use the medium to create and document.
He has sold pieces in Australia, UK, USA and Europe
and never produces more than 10 copies of any
photograph.
His photography is often abstract or colourful.
Paul also discovered a love for drawing with charcoal
and pastels in his final year of school and continues to
draw figures mixing both mediums to full effect.
Some of pieces featured in this exhibition are a mix of
several series Paul has worked on including:
Pride - an abstract take on the LGBTI Pride Flag
Flowers - part of a flower series
Lollies - images of favourite childhood lollies
Stephen Mitchell

textures and the South Australian landscape.
His artwork on display is predominately from Kangaroo
Island.
When not holding a camera, he is the father of two boys,
a supporting husband, and a honey salesman.
He is a familiar face to many people both online and
offline.

Sylvia Stansfield
Sylvia was born in Chile and migrated to Australia in
1969.
She had a visual arts background from Chile and
went on to study at TAFE and the University of South
Australia which gave her the tools to express herself in
clay and become a professional artist.
Ceramics has become the core of Sylvia’s life and PreColumbian art is her great inspiration.
Sylvia has spent much time and devotion in researching
the clays around Adelaide and preparing her own
pigments.
Maggie McCabe
Maggie McCabe is a South Australian painter and designer.
Her work explores suburbia and the domestic realm as spaces
which bring people together to celebrate culture, familiarity and
relationships.
Maggie’s current work, the ‘homewares range’, depicts the
changing role of women from the mid-20th century onward.
The process of upcycling and the repurposing of materials are an
important element in her work which references place, time and
change.
The Mother and Child 2015; Oil on Canvas
Maggie’s previous explorations include motherhood and religion.
Mother and Child is representative of birth, life and death bound
in alternate realities and mythologies. She describes; “Amidst
this we are a microcosm yet so controversial in our presence,
completely with consequence through all our moments of
existence. From conception to death the abject scatter of waste
that lies beneath our feet is only part of our trajectory between
heaven and earth or rebirth.”
This art work was inspired by her own perceptions of
motherhood and her experience with dissociation during the
birth of her second child.
Changing or shifting realities was a strategy needed to survive
the painful and disfiguring process of birth.
