As Henri Matisse, the renowned artist, once said, “creativity takes courage.” This year in VCE Art, Design and Technology, we have seen just how true those words are. Our students have shown remarkable courage in navigating their creative journeys in the Beckworth, culminating in the impressive work showcased within this annual publication. It is a privilege for us all to admire their dedication and talent, which shines brightly in each piece. The quality of the work is exceptional and the level of effort, commitment and resilience is evident throughout every page, reminding us of the incredible heights achievable when passion and hard work combine.
Of course, such courage and creativity do not develop overnight. They require time, patience and careful nurturing. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to the teachers who have stood alongside these students throughout the year, guiding them through challenges and encouraging them to push their creative boundaries. Their steadfast support has been invaluable in helping these young artists grow and succeed. Equally, we recognise and thank the Art Technicians who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes, providing crucial support to ensure each student’s vision became a reality.
We extend our sincere thanks also go to Headmaster Mr. Heath and the Board of Directors for their ongoing commitment to the Creative Arts, demonstrating their understanding of creativity’s essential role in a young person’s education. By valuing and supporting the Arts, they allow students to develop in ways that extend far beyond academic achievement, fostering skills and qualities that will serve them throughout their lives.
We are immensely grateful to parents for all the support provided behind the scenes. The journey of completing a folio can be demanding, filled with highs and lows and you have been a pillar of strength for your children during this process. Your encouragement and patience have helped to make this year’s achievements possible.
Finally, to the students whose work appears in this annual, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and admiration. Thank you for having the courage to be creative, for daring to take the road less travelled and for exploring where your imagination can lead you. Let the works displayed here serve as a reminder of your unique journey, the challenges you have overcome and the fulfilment of seeing your vision come to life. This publication not only marks a milestone but also celebrates the courage, dedication and limitless potential that each of you possesses.

Molly Cooper
After Ken Clay and Glaze.
Art / Ceramics
My work represents the movement and depth of the oceans. Texture has been applied to further this sense of depth as well as illustrate the movement and patterns created by waves. The changing colours reflect the varying depth and movement that are ever changing.
Ava Crocker
Ocean Beauties
Earthenware clay, stoneware glaze, sea glass and epoxy glue.
Art / Ceramics
‘Ocean Beauties’ explores elements found at the beach, using sea glass to represent remnants and memories from specific shores. The artwork incorporates waves, using blue and white hues and repetitive movements to reflect the relapsing nature of waves breaking. This piece encourages viewers to reflect on the delicate and significant nature of places that hold personal memories, emphasising the connection between found objects and the stories they carry from the ocean.
Ava Crocker
Home
Earthenware clay and earthenware glaze.
Art / Ceramics
‘Home’, is a piece that reflects the importance of the bush - my home - to me, incorporating the Kangaroo Paw plant taken directly from my home. The piece aims to highlight and represent the importance of our homes to each individual, as well has demonstrating how home is different for everyone.
Tilly Davidson
Nature’s Beauty Encased
Stoneware clay with glazed photocopy transferred images.
Art / Ceramics
My work displays a Marbled-Velvet Gecko surrounded by the insects they consume. The Gecko is Indigenous to the Northern Territory where I grew up. Drawing inspiration from Jane Burbidge’s ‘Wildflower’ ceramics, I drew from my personal connection to my hometown. Like Jane, I embraced the natural beauty of the environment that once surrounded me. I highlighted that the death of an organism is not the end, rather, it is the beginning of the removal of outer layers to reveal innermost secrets.
‘Becoming Unstuck’, explores the emotions and triggers behind mental health challenges, highlighting the negative effects of ignoring these issues. Each piece in the collection represents different coping mechanisms people use when overwhelmed, aiming to bring hidden struggles to light. The project raises awareness about mental health, fostering inclusiveness and reassuring people that they are not alone in their battles, while encouraging open conversations about mental wellbeing.
Meg Fraser
Complexities Of Life
Stoneware clay and earthenware glaze.
Art / Ceramics
‘Complexities of Life’, exposes the intricacies of life though colour and texture, The outer white, smooth surfaces represent the dull, unexciting aspects of existence, while the rough textures symbolise the bumps and struggles we face. As the texture becomes rougher and more chaotic the bright colours that are hidden inside, symbolise the positivity and hope that can be found by delving deeper and overcoming hardships.
Anna French
Emotional Flow Through Colour
Stoneware clay and earthenware glaze.
Art / Ceramics
In my work, I explore subtle gradations of primary colour that flow and change across the surface. My work has no fixed meaning, rather I encourage the viewer to draw and create their interpretation based on their own experience and preconceptions of colour. For me, the work is a physical representation of mindfulness and contemplation. The dots represent emotions and feelings that bubble and flow over the surface of the work.
Elly Hawker
Eternal Moments
Clay and glaze.
Art / Ceramics
‘Eternal Moments’, is a timepiece designed to explore the deeper meanings of time. The clock reflects a different perception, challenging how we take time for granted. Inspired by Van Gogh’s ‘Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette’, my piece tells a deeper story about the fleeting nature of time and its value, which we often overlook. I invite you to reflect on your relationship with time as you engage with the piece.
Kathleen Johns
Expression
PB103 Walkers clay, clear earthenware glaze and underglazes.
Art / Ceramics
My artwork is inspired by Luke Edward Hall, featuring joyful, free-moving brush strokes that emphasise femininity in form. I explore the female figure, focusing on the beauty of diverse body shapes and celebrating individuality. Colour plays a key role in evoking emotions, allowing viewers to connect with the pieces on a deeper emotional level. Through this work I aim to convey a sense of freedom and fluidity, embracing the uniqueness of all bodies.
Kathleen Johns
My Home
Casting slip, stains and stoneware clear glaze.
Art / Ceramics
My artwork is inspired by my deep connection to home, Warracknabeal and symbolises the Wimmera Silo Art Trail. Using coloured slip I create landscapes along the bottoms of the pieces, with vibrant hues blending into gentle waves of colour. These abstracted forms evoke the rolling hills and vast land of the region, inviting viewers to experience the natural beauty that inspired this work. The interplay of colour and shape reflects the essence of the landscape.
Kathleen Johns
The Gums - the black domes
PB103 clay, underglaze and clear earthenware glaze.
Art / Ceramics
My artwork is inspired by my deep connection to home, featuring black domes outlined with silhouettes of gum trees. The piece offers a simplistic interpretation, allowing viewers to experience nature in its pure form. The soft curved shapes of the domes create a gentle and calming atmosphere, inviting an emotional connection with the landscape. Through this minimalistic approach I aim to evoke a sense of tranquility and a personal bond between the viewer and nature.
Amber Jones
Coiling Through Life
Stoneware clay, coloured underglazes and white earthenware glaze.
Art / Ceramics
‘Coiling Through Life’ explores the concepts and experiences that make up a person and their life, delving into the ways these moments and emotions come together and intertwine to make up who that person will become. The abstract ceramic piece asks its viewer to look for a deeper meaning and connection much like when people first meet each other and have to learn more about the other person to see who they really are.
Vanessa Jones
Gift of Womanhood
Earthenware clay, red one stroke, transfer paper, gold lustre and stoneware clear glaze.
Art / Ceramics
My collection was inspired by the injustice surrounding female autonomy. The red colour is symbolic of the ‘Curse of Eve’, assumed from the text Genesis 13:6a, in which God punished Eve for convincing Adam to eat the apple from the Tree of Knowledge. Eve’s punishment was monthly bleedings that created a stigma of dirtiness and shame that led many to believe that a woman should not be touched during menstruation. The curvaceous form of the work is representative of the female form and is coupled with my artistry. The splashes of pattern and dotted designs demonstrate the unique individual stories of each female and their hardships. The beauty of the collection together, explores the treasures and unity of womanhood.
Vanessa Jones
Alice Kain
Sustento
Clay, earthenware glaze and impasto slip.
Art / Ceramics
My bowls emphasise texture through the use of impasto slip. Titled ‘Sustento’ which means “living” in Portuguese, the work sumbolises that the growth seen in both fruit and flowers doesn’t happen in a single moment, but is a process over a lifetime. This fits into my goal of creating movement in a symbolic way.
Alice Kain
Blooming Decay
Clay, impasto slip and earthenware glaze.
Art / Ceramics
My vases are a juxtaposition between gloomy dark colours and the joy often associated with flowers. I aim to represent the imperfections in today’s society, where things are not always as they seem. When creating these pieces I expected a bright colourful array of perfect florals, however the resulting colours were dark. This unexpected outcome represesents the contradictions in our society and the problems that the world faces today.
Jade Klein
Horror Vacqui II
Stoneware clay with copper matte reduction and red iron oxide.
Art / Ceramics
‘Horror Vacqui’, translates to the fear of empty space and is symbolised by my deconstructed version of a coil pot. The unique additions to the piece create the “abstract nonsense” element that represents the different ways space can be utilised. My artwork aims to speak to the way we try to control our Feng Shui, when in reality some things are better left as they are. Not all empty space has to be feared, but rather, celebrated.
My Unit 4 artwork, ‘Mirroring the Landscape’, seeks to show the vibrant stunning country landscapes found at my aunt and uncle’s hobby farm in the Otways. Using the Nerikomi Technique, my collection of artworks captures the colour palette of the landscape. The swirling effect from the Nerikomi reflects the beauty and serenity of the countryside and the vast views that can be observed from the property.
Olivia McCallum
2 Bowls
Clay.
Art / Ceramics
My two bowls represent simplicity. Both bowls have a soft pinkish hue on their outer surfaces, uniting them through a common colour while allowing the distinct interior designs to stand apart. The juxtaposition of simplicity and intricate pattern work creates a dialogue between calm and movement, form and decoration.
Matilda McIntyre
She
Stoneware ceramic coils amd satin matte black glaze.
Art / Ceramics
This piece displays a simplified female form. ‘She’ is stripped of her uniqueness to a coiled, enigmatic and organic shape. Uniting historical African techniques and influences with modern minimalism, she represents a harmonious connection of western culture and African womanhood. Her ambiguity opens the discussion around female experiences and more specifically, diasporic identity and suppression of female individuality.
Matilda McIntyre
Kiinni chake
Stoneware clay coils and terra sigillata.
Art / Ceramics
Driven from the traditional principles of African pottery, this piece speaks to the influence women have on artistry in Africa. It is an ode to the simple techniques used by women that are looked down upon in favour of highly developed techniques adopted by men. It captures the essence of iconic African visual language through a modern lens, whilst subtly exploring feminine curves and form – ‘The Essence of Her’.
Mackenna Naylor

The Trail
Earthenware clay, Earthenware glaze and slip.
Art / Ceramics
This artwork was named after the trail of dots I have formed use the slip trailing technique, inspired by the pathways animals like sheep and ants take to journey from from one location to another. This piece reflects the patterns you can explore by observing the animals and their movement in the environment.
Shelby Nevinson
Spring Surprise
Clay and glaze.
Art / Ceramics
‘Spring Surprise’ is inspired by the water lily flower design. I grew up surrounded by these flowers that would flower at the end of Spring each year. This work is made of Earthenware Clay and Earthenware Glaze and explores the beauty that is in the environment when you look around. This piece serves as a warning to the audience about the beauty of the landscape that will be lost if we continue to neglect our environment.
Ella Sidebottom
Moments of Memories
Walker clay, stoneware glaze, earthenware glaze and collected shells.
Art / Ceramics
‘Moments of Memories’, 2024, is inspired by my memories and experiences of summers at the beach exploring the ocean and sea life. This collection of artworks is a depiction of my experiences of the beach through the element of mimicking the properties and characteristics of real shells and beach aspects. Comprised of two circular wall pieces and three connecting vases, these artworks combine to create a thought provoking installation.
Mabel Sulliavn
Scorched, Emerged, Flourished
Stoneware clay and stoneware glaze.
Art / Ceramics
My ceramic collection explores a cycle of destruction and regeneration in nature after a human induced fire. ‘Scorched’, depicts the harsh human-induced destruction through a burnt log. ‘Emerged’, portrays the delicate process of recovery with new growth sprouting from a damaged stump. Finally, ‘Flourished’ celebrates nature’s resilience as life flourishes with moss and fungi. My pieces emphasise the fragile yet powerful ability of nature to recover and thrive despite the devastation.

Running Colour
Stoneware clay, underglaze ink, earthenware glaze, blue oxide and gold lustre.
Art / Ceramics
‘Running Colours’ is my first Unit 3 final where I created a set of vases that are similar but still have variation. The blue oxide represents nostalgic memories and the colour of childhood, contrasting to the boredom of everday adult life. As much as I liked the blue, I moved away from this aspect as I wasn’t satisfied with the shapes created by the oxide.
Jazmin Vincent-Durow
Zebra
Stoneware clay, underglaze, underglaze ink, earthenware glaze and gold lustre.
Art / Ceramics
‘Zebra’ is my second unit three work. I have refined my technique further and explored repetition through structed prints that I placed side by side to give a ‘zebra looking’ appearance. I eliminated bright colours, optiing for a minimalst colour palette that appealed to my personal aesthetic. I also refined the cylindrical shape to create a crisp and less uneven look.
Jazmin Vincent-Durow
Routinely Chaotic
Stoneware clay, black underglaze, underglaze ink, earthenware glaze and gold lustre.
Art / Ceramics
‘Routinely Chaotic’, represents the routines and rituals that make up our everyday lives, coupled with the constrasting expereices of chaos and the frantic pace of our brains. My work relfects the balance that we require to to remain upright and functional, sane yet curious. It includes an unplanned exploded vase. This was incorporated to represent the timeswhen things don’t go to plan.
Georgia Walsh
Materialized memory
Stoneware slab coils and palladium glaze.
Art / Ceramics
My work is inspired by artist Chris Gustin. Gustin pushes boundaries of abstraction, creating something that is on the other side of consciousness. My work takes the form of a vase but is pushed and grown to change the perception of its meaning. The scale, abstract form and glaze (which moves and connects with the form) intend to spark conversation and memory, looking at it you can find meaning from personal experiences.
Sienna Wyatt
Reminders Of Home
Stoneware clay, ceramic tiling, earthenware glazes and mosaic glue and grout.
Art / Ceramics
‘Reminders of Home’ 2024, inspired by my hometown, blends personal memories with artistic form. Crafted from stoneware clay, ceramic tiles, earthenware glazes, mosaic glue and grout, this piece captures fleeting moments that deserve preservation. When taking the photo at home, I aimed to transform it, re-imagining it as a ceramic mosaic. This mosaic plate symbolises holding onto memories, offering a unique way to display them and turning memories into a lasting and beautiful art form.
Dylan Zhang
Smooth Sharp Shape
Terracotta.
Art / Ceramics
‘Smooth Sharp Shape’, is an oxymoron opposing the traditional ideas of smoothness with sharpness. It is subject to the viewer’s interpretation and asks them to question many opposing ideas, with a dark glaze to further allow the viewer to interpret their ideas. Art is always subjective and I chose to keep my piece as subjective as possible, leaving the viewer to question the meaning of opposites.

SUPER RICH KIDS
Acrylic on stock paper, beads and dimensional Polaroids.
Media
My Production is a mixed-media zine. It explores a coming-of-age narrative and the themes of girlhood, friendship and the thrill of doing what one knows they shouldn’t. I formed an indie aesthetic to incite curiosity and mystery around the character’s true depth.

Sleepless Reveries
Sony ZV-E10 Camera and Rhode Microphone.
Media
‘Sleepless Reveries’ brushes upon the genres of psychological horror, coming-of-age, and emotional drama, incorporating aspects of grief, trauma and acceptance through numerous codes and conventions inspired by my research. These inspired elements explore the mind in dream sequences as compared to reality to create visual meaning and establish a dichotomy between the two main areas of my narrative, conveying the difference in my main character’s psychologival world versus their reality.

Project Dandelion
Homemade toy robot heads, shot on Blackmagic Pocket 4K Cinema camera and edited with DaVinci Resolve.
Media
Exploring the relationship between creativity and education, ‘Project Dandelion’ comments on regulated individualism. In a sci-fi world where the imagination manifests as a creature, it is a requirement to hide behind an AI face that traps the physical expression of the creative mind. Throw in a dash of teenage rebellion and an illegal documentary crew, what could go wrong? It’s a powerful message that talks to the future.

Found
Cannon EOS R50 Camera.

‘FOUND’ is a short film created to explore human connection and how nature can transorm someone who feels lost and dissconnected. Through the character’s journey, the film shows how the beauty and serenity of the natural world can help restore a sense of belonging and self discovery. Set against a tranquil landscape, ‘FOUND’ refelects on nature’s power to heal and reconnect us with ourselves and the world around us.

An ex-firefighter grapples with PTSD and the memories of his past, highlighting the emotional and mental struggles faced by first responders. With one in three first responders developing PTSD, the story serves as a reminder of the invisible wounds carried long after the flames have been extinguished.

Sleeping With the Lights On
Canon SLR and Adobe Premier Pro.
Media
My Media production takes the form of a music video – there are elements of narrative, but very little dialogue. The film fits into the genre of coming-of-age or young adult, as is centered around a teenage protagonist. The main themes explore first love and heartbreak. The emotional tone of the film is sad, nostalgic, bittersweet and somewhat hopeful, which is more important than the simplistiv narrative.

With the help of his almost-too-close friend Tom, the hero and the guy-in-the-chair, devise a plan to finally work out how to channel Adam’s control over atoms. However, as Adam becomes more arrogant, his relationship with Tom is at risk of being jeopardized and their love lost.

This production is a collection of still life photographs using object symbolism and connotation to tell a more symbolic abstracted narrative, covering small snippets of substantial events that the character experiences. Each frame has a primary theme representative of the event or philosophical idea. Each object holds significance depending on frame continuity, physical appearance and symbolism, which better inform the effect of events on the character.

Lost
Watercolour paint, posca pen, coloured 2b pencils and fine line markers.
Art / Painting & Drawing
In ‘Lost’, I seek to evoke confusion and organised chaos by blending painting and drawing. The layered textures and intersecting forms create a visual haze of ambiguity, mirroring the disorientation felt in moments of deep thought. This interplay of media reflects the complex emotions of being lost and invites viewers to engage with the artwork’s layers of uncertainty, allowing for personal interpretation and connection through their own experiences of searching for meaning in life.

Bedroom and Babies
Acrylic paint on watercolour paper.
Art / Painting & Drawing
‘Bedroom and Babies’, is a collection of two artworks exploring friendship throughout the early stages of girlhood. The paintings reflect the shared experiences of girls in their friendships and are intended to provoke familiar memories from the audience. ‘The Bedroom’, is a painting of the artist’s childhood best friend’s room, resembling a sleepover which is a prominent experience in girlhood. ‘The Babies’, are the artist’s older sister and family friend, communicating another kind of memorable friendship.
Olivia Crocker
Teen Bedroom
Acrylic paint on watercolour paper.
Art / Painting & Drawing
‘Teen Bedroom’, explores the aspects gathered throughout life that form someone’s identity. It shows how features of a bedroom can reflect someone’s personality. Bedrooms are compiled with things from our childhood that have traveled with us as we grow up and have remained important. There are also aspects that are new and reflect different stages of our growth. This painting aims to convey aspects that make a person who they are.

Parallel Influences
Oil on canvas paper, watercolour on paper.
Art / Painting & Drawing
‘Parallel Influences’, 2024, aims to address the contrasting influences that impact children as they are growing up. This shows that through children being surrounded by different people, their personalities are bound to develop with the perspectives of others. Made with oil paint and watercolour, ‘Parallel Influences’ expresses these influences from other people through parents, grandparents and friends, all impacting a child’s opinion of the world.
Lilla Delbridge
Lotus
Watercolour on paper.
Art / Painting & Drawing
‘Lotus’, 2024, expresses the power of self-love and rejection of negative influences. Using the lotus flower as a symbol of purity and regrowth, ‘Lotus’ develops the connotations in avoiding negative attitudes to oneself, hence a rebirth of love can be born. It uses watercolour to showcase these positive influences as bright colours, inviting viewers to indulge into positive affirmations as a healing process.
Lilla Delbridge
Dying Rose
Watercolour on paper.
Art / Painting & Drawing
‘Dying Rose’, 2024, aims to express the negative attitudes towards self-hatred and the consequences of believing what everyone hears. A juxtaposition to ‘Lotus’, ‘Dying Rose’, uses the wilting roses as a death of self-love due to the fact roses have always been a symbol of love and beauty. Using watercolour to create a black and white figure, ‘Dying Rose’ exposes the denial of positive affirmations and the obsession with negative comments.
Georgia Lynch
Family
Graphite, charcoal and coloured pencil on paper.
Art / Painting & Drawing
My piece showcases what I value and love. In the centre is my younger brother and I and above us is the Indigenous flag indicating our culture. All my artworks in this exhibition focus on connection and appreciation for those around me especially my brother and I in these works reveal the love and appreciation I have for him and that our relationship is so strong.
Georgia Lynch
Brother
Colour pencils on paper.
Art / Painting & Drawing
This is a portrait of my younger brother and around him are symbols of what best represents him. All my artworks in this exhibition focus on connection and appreciation for those around me. I chose my brother as my muse because we hold a special bond and understanding for one another, we are connected through our blood, mind, spirit and culture.
Georgia Lynch
Rainbow Serpent
Acrylic, colour pencils, watercolour and fine liner on paper.
Art / Painting & Drawing
My work is inspired by my Indigenous culture, my paintings use traditional colours and techniques from my Tiwi culture found in the Northern Territory. I added the Rainbow Serpent, named Ampiji, that I hold a strong connection to because it is my totem. This piece delves into the idea of identity and connection to what I value and love and how that best represents me physically and spiritually.
‘The Disguise of Anxiety’, reflects how anxiety often masks itself, hiding beneath the surface while affecting our lives in profound ways. Disguise can conceal true identity, while anxiety can obscure our true selves and influence our mindset and emotions. Through this artwork, I reveal the hidden nature of anxiety and explore its impact on the mental and emotional state, offering a deeper level understanding.
I selected the title ‘Breaking through the Bubble of Self-doubt’, for my artwork, as it symbolises the journey of overcoming internal barriers. As a bubble is fragile yet confining and self-doubt can trap individuals and hinder our potential. This artwork captivates the audience to understand the process of pushing past those limitations and finding inner strength. The title captures the journey of overcoming fears and insecurities that can impact both performance and mental well being, highlighting the strength found in breaking free from these challanges.
Adam

Volcano Islands
Coloured pencils and fine-liner markers.
Art / Painting & Drawing
I created this artwork to show the sudden release of emotion, specifically anger, from the volcano. Each island is representative of an emotion and it expresses the disparity between the happy and angry islands. In my future work I aim to make the volcano the center piece and main focus of the artwork, as it’s too small and in the background in this piece.
Adam Rall
The Cycle of Destruction and Creation
Digital Media - Photoshop.
Art / Painting & Drawing
I created this artwork to show how the build up of emotions and a sudden release can have a huge impact on surroundings and how it is important to understand and learn why these emotions happen. The third piece shows how even though we are human and can have trouble controlling our emotions, there is always hope to grow, change and learn from past mistakes.
Millie Richardson
Together We Work
Graphic pencils, coloured pencil and Fabriano paper.
Art / Painting & Drawing
‘Together We Work’, is a large-scale graphite drawing that depicts a dynamic swarm of bees sweeping across the page. Each bee is meticulously rendered to highlight their collective motion and unity. The powerful visual metaphor symbolises the essence of teamwork and work ethic. The concept of the brick connects directly with the original structures on my farm built, six generations ago. The bees symbolise the characteristics of my family, who work together to achieve big things.
Millie Richardson
Hand in Hand
Indian ink on hand made cotton paper.
Art / Painting & Drawing
‘Hand in Hand’, is an ink painting on handmade cotton paper. This artwork is inspired by Nicolas V Sanchez and his exploration of childhood memories and identity. The baby hand holding the finger of the adults, resembles how as children we rely on our parents. The pink of the baby’s hand highlights the innocence of children, the warming memories of being a child and how as you grow up you hold onto those memories more tightly.

Driving Alone
Oil on canvas.
Art / Painting & Drawing
‘Driving Alone’, is a piece inspired by the artist Dongwook Suh. It describes the bittersweet feeling of growing up. The young girl in the car reflects the milestone of finally driving by yourself, but within the joy of being independent is a sense of loneliness. You no longer rely on your mum and dad and you won’t ever be the little kid in the back seat you used to be.
Daisy Sheehan
Hugo
Coloured pencils on brown parchment.
Art / Painting & Drawing
‘Hugo’, explores the theme of nostalgia. The room in the piece is my childhood bedroom and the donkey is Hugo, one of my family’s pet donkeys. This piece is a representation of my happy place, a place where I feel safe combined with an animal who brings me joy. The donkey being in the room is supposed to be goofy and childlike, emphasising that nostalgic theme.
Angela Sun
Boudoir Resentment
Oil pastel on wood.
Art / Painting & Drawing
My piece captures women’s experiences under feudal society and explores the issue of cultural repatriation. She is the personified vase – fragile, empty and objectified. The cracks on her face are reminiscent of the countless relics looted from China which have since been severed and neglected in European museums. I wish to invite viewers to contemplate on the complexities of gender, power and agency throughout history, focusing on how they are uniquely poignant but universally lamented.
Angela Sun
Silken Sisterhood
Oil and gold leaf on wooden fireplace screen.
Art / Painting & Drawing
My artwork is a triptych that represents the solidarity between women in the Qing Dynasty. Despite being trapped by silken chains, it is their sisterhood that prevails. From averting our gaze to looking directly at us, it symbolises a subversion against feudal expectations of women – quiet but powerful. This time, they are not birds in gilded cages, they are not porcelain that cracks and breaks. Like flowers, they blossom and thrive under sunlight – they are complete in their own right.

Luella Wyer
Promising Young Woman
Oil on canvas.
Art / Painting & Drawing
Portraying periods in an over-sexualised context, ‘Promising Young Woman’, causes discomfort for the viewer. It uses styles likened to fauvism and a monochromatic pink/red palette to create focus on the bright blood that is depicted on the subject’s underwear, in order to subvert the unfair control of the male gaze over the female body and its functions. It is the sister piece to ‘Female Hysteria’, responding to the same issue.
Luella Wyer
Female Hysteria
Oil on canvas.
Art / Painting & Drawing
‘Female Hysteria’, the sister piece to ‘Promising Young Woman’, aims to cause discomfort and reflection for the viewer, through the portrayal of periods in an oversexualised context. The male gaze unfairly promotes the sexualisation of women in media, depicting them as sexual objects for pleasure rather than human, using the appeal of specific parts of the body whilst negatively affecting the portrayal of normal bodily functions like periods.
Luella Wyer
Strawberry Legs
Oil on canvas.
Art / Painting & Drawing
Utilising a cartoonish and colourful appearance, ‘Strawberry Legs’, features hip dips, period blood and body hair to respond to society’s distaste for them, subverting the male gaze’s influence on the arts and societal norms. The male gaze has wrongfully placed expectations on the appearance of the female body and what is acceptable to be displayed to a wider audience. ‘Strawberry Legs’ aims to normalise these naturally occurring features of the feminine body.

‘Why are you looking at me ?’
Godox light sticks, metal pole, hoodie and camera.
Art / Photography
My work represents censorship or hiding. By covering the eyes I aim to hide the ‘soul’. By using bright colours it stands out enticing people to look at it. Titling my work, ‘Why are you looking at me ?’ creates a discrepancy between wanting to look at the image, despite the image asking you not to.

Femininity in motion
Ink jet on archival paper mounted on foamcore.
Art / Photography
My work explores femininity, softness and movement. I have incorporated the use of mascara to symbolise emotion, a classically feminine aesthetic. I chose to run the mascara to further tie in with the theme of movement and the progression of time. I have incorporated a black background with white fabric to emphasise the movement and isolate the figure in space.
PRINTMAKING

Printed ink on paper.
Art / Printmaking
My artwork is compiled of a selection of my own images in the background, printed in exposure separated layers. This surrounds the centre print of the red edited figure, which was taken from an edited photo, inspired by the graphic inspiration from Shepard Fairey’s, ‘My Florist is a D*ck’.
Gold, black and red ink printed on cartridge paper.
Art / Printmaking
These images are moments from a week in my life, where my fourteen year-old mind led a friend and I down the road of independence and adventure. Do you ever get the feeling when you’re doing something you know you shouldn’t be, that you’re always being watched? It’s always funny, how when you’re consciously aware of something, it suddenly appears everywhere, adding to that feeling of anxiety, guilt and adrenaline. I present some of the best four days of my life: ‘Golden Memories of Duplicity and Mischief.’

Come Back Home
Acrylic paint on Hosho paper.
Art / Printmaking
Family is a part of life. This striking vivid sunset screen scene with my brother, unlocks a key memory from our family trip. The beautiful bright colours of the sunsets were the perfect inspiration for a lino print. I want to convey an idea of the unconsidered, unnoticed places and experiences that people simply miss.

The Language of Flowers
Watercolour, Dry point etching.
Art / Printmaking
Plants are an obsession in my life. The Bird of Paradise plant’s distinctive style and striking vivid colours were a perfect inspiration for a large dry-point etching. I wanted to remind people to look more closely at the details and colours in plants, which is why I chose to work on a large scale, to make an impact.

Hold Me Gently
Flax, tissue paper, photo transfer, lino on calico, watercolour and natural materials (oyster shells, emu feathers, ochre, gumnuts).
Art / Printmaking
‘Hold Me Gently’ is an interpersonal reflection on culture, family and the influences that make up who we are. I wanted to capture the tenderness of different physical and spiritual relationships that influence us to become the people we are through materials significant to my own identity.

The Final Celebration
Screen print ink on paper.
Art / Printmaking
Inspired by pop art and CMYK printing, the processes of half-tone printing and colour separation fascinate me. I worked with a photograph from a special dinner to play with printing and overprinting screens. Each image offers us a slightly different mood and the optical effects vary whether you’re near or far from the images.

Nature Reminiscence
Etching ink on Fabriano paper.
Art / Printmaking
‘Nature Reminiscence’, explores the effects of natural disasters and global warming on nature. It visually represents the before and after effects of bushfires on our local forests. I used layering to display both etchings and burned holes in the top image, using a lighter to depict the physical form of fire from bushfires. I took the image of an area close to my house that had been affected by bushfires in the past.
Daisy Walsh
Vivian Maier’s Suitcase
Watercolour paint, dry point etching, lino print and suitcase.
Art / Printmaking
Vivian Maier was a photographer whose images mostly capture public affection and love, reminding us of the good in the world. Unrecognised in her lifetime, her photos were found in an old suitcase. My works remind us to celebrate the joy, love and beauty of this planet.

Still waters run deep
Black etching ink on paper.
Art / Printmaking
In my work ‘Still water runs deep’, I explore how confidence or arrogance can be a mask for low self-esteem and insecurity. This work delves deeper into the classic saying “never judge a book by its cover”, serving as a stark reminder to look deeper into someone’s attitude as a cover and consider that even those who stand on higher pedestals may bare concealed burdens.
