ARTEXPRESS

For exemplary work in HSC Visual Arts

1. Astrid Dickson

Selected for ARTEXPRESS for Painting: Fragile memories

Hawkesbury Regional Art Gallery

My Body of Work delves into the arbitrary hoarding of items we take part in, with the permanency of the pen resembling the lifelong personal importance inanimate objects can hold.

2. Lucy Hammond

Nominated for ARTEXPRESS for Painting: To The Slaughter...

Western Plains Cultural Centre (WPCC)

To The Slaughter… is a commentary piece on the phenomenon that is mass food production - specifically red meat, and the impact that the grotesque over-production of this product has on the global environment and humanity alike.

3. Lucy Rader

Nominated for ARTEXPRESS for Painting: Foreclosure

Hazelhurst Arts Centre

My Body of Work addresses how multinational companies dominate the market causing small businesses such as the iconic local corner store, which once existed as a part of the Australian vernacular, to go bankrupt.

4. Lilian Stock

Nominated for ARTEXPRESS for Painting: Entanglement in international waters

Glasshouse Regional Gallery

My work examines the negative impacts of globalisation on the fishing industry within the politically charged context of international waters.

5. Lilian Stock

Nominated for ARTEXPRESS for Painting: 你吃了吗? (Have you eaten?)

Mudgee Arts Precinct (MAP)

Just like every culture, there are dishes and recipes that are passed down generationally and modified uniquely within each family. Homemade meals are a form of love and bring a sense of comfort that is found through security and familiarity.
