Konstantina

Caste Wheel: Eora Mob

100 x 150 cm

Acrylic on canvas

Konstantina is a proud Gadigal woman of the Eora nation and a neocontemporary Indigenous artist. She is re-imagining the traditions of her peoples’ dot painters and providing a modern narrative for all Australians to better understand First Nations People as part of the fabric of Australia.

As a descendant of the Gadigal people, she is passionate about her language, culture and histories, much of which have been lost, misplaced or manipulated since the dawn of colonisation.

Her artwork tells of these histories and directly relates the struggles, inspiration challenges and daily turmoil she feels at being a mum, a storyteller, a woman and above all – a connected Aboriginal person to the land, the animals and spirit of our Country.

Laurie Franklin

Escarpment

91 x 122 cm

Mixed media on canvas

Laurie Franklin is a full time artist who is primarily known for her impressionistic landscapes.

Laurie’s use of subtle colour, charcoal and metallic copper are evocative of the magic and mystery of the liminal spaces between desert and city.

Over the past 18 years, she has created a wide range of artworks that can be found all over the world in homes and hotels including the Absolute Hotel Group in Ireland, Rendezvous Hotels in Australia and Protea Hotels South Africa.

Escarpment is part of the Banksia series tracing the Australian landscape through this iconic tree.

Meli Axford

Oops I Did It Again

150 x 120 cm

Oil and acrylic on cotton

‘My mother invested a ton of love in me and my six siblings when we were growing up. We had a lot of conflict in our lives but we always knew we had that love to fall back on.’

As an artist, Meli explores how these remembered experiences overlap with her own experiences as a mother.

Meli works from photos taken of her daughters hanging out around the swimming pool with their pet moodle puppies.

The finished work is carefully constructed to balance the negative space.
