Curator Ken Wong This is my third year with the Williamstown Festival Contemporary Art Prize and it’s fifth anniversary at the Substation. Over that time it has been both inspiring and rewarding to see the project grow to become a nationally recognized competition and the premier showcase for contemporary art in Melbournes western suburbs.

Art is a uniquely human response to the fact of existence. The lives we lead are a collection of experiences stitched together moment by moment, reflecting our past and projecting our future, but only ever really existing in the now. The works, mediums and practice are many and varied, as varied as our respective experiences of life. They reflect the hopes, dreams, aspirations and observations of both the extraordinary and the everyday. All of these are part of what leads artists to inspiration; that moment of creation when the need to express themselves finds a tangible idea, a lucid concept that can be enunciated and embodied in a work of art. The works in this exhibition reflect our interface with the natural world and the quirks of modern living but also voice concerns about the broader social and political inequities of the modern world.

I believe there is a role for art that is both contemplative and meditative in terms of understanding ourselves and the wider world.

Recent events in particular have thrown up a disparate set of IMAGE: Robyn Astley (detail)

responses, from the election of a black American President, to the horrors of Black Saturday contrasted with the reminder just last week that the Australian Minister for the Environment and the Arts is also a bone fide anti establishment rock star.

We live in an increasingly incongruous world full of contradictions and anomalies, but within these anomalies there is also unlimited creative potential where it seems, anything is possible. To me, art is at the coalface of exploring creative potential, and it is the role of the artist to lead that creative endeavor.

Despite millions of years of evolution, and the rise and fall of countless civilizations over thousands of years, we as modern humans have managed (in around a hundred years), to push the planets resources and sustainability towards a breaking point, beyond which there may be no redemption. In a world facing a myriad of problems, perhaps the multitude of creative perspectives in this exhibition can serve as reminder that while we live in the now, the future is a place we all create together in each passing moment.

MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER FOR THE ARTS

Lynne Kosky, MP Minister for the Arts Member for Altona

I am very pleased to once again to lend my support to the Williamstown Festival Contemporary Art Prize.

Over the past several years, these awards have become the premier showcase for contemporary art practice in the western suburbs, steadily expanding in reputation. The art prize is now recognised nationally, with entries received from across Australia.

As the Member for Altona and the Victorian Minister for the Arts, it is very pleasing to see these awards continue to flourish and provide a national context for the strong contemporary practice of our local artists.

Art is a great reflector of culture and environment. Both on a local and national scale, this exhibition highlights and reflects the diversity and strength of our unique community.

Congratulations to all participating artists, the Festival Committee and everyone involved in bringing us the 2009 Williamstown Festival Contemporary Art Prize.

Lynne Kosky, MP Minister for the Arts

“Ocular Artifice VI” is about the relationship between contrast and uniformity within optical and organic construction. The stark contrast between the black and the white, alongside the hard-edged abstractions help to emphasize its invisible contents.

This work avoids the look of contrive; instead it’s engaged in systems of visual illusion where the experience of sight is central and the visual sensation itself Ocular Artifice – VI is integral. Within the painting Polymer on canvas 2008 a sensation of movement is 119 x 122 x 23cm apparent from the utilization $5000 of optical illusions, and a third dimension can be viewed through the use of an architecturally shaped canvas. The artwork conveys its emotional content through the medium of perception, connecting directly with the viewer’s physical and psychological responses.

Wendy Beatty

Robin Astley There are three conceptual sources for this work. Firstly, the unearthing of “unknown” soldiers from WW1 whose remains were unearthed in France in 2008. Secondly, the painting explores the visual aesthetic/ design code/bank of Unknown Soldiers symbols that belong Acrylic, ink and pencil on Fabriano paper 2009 to the military genre 150 x 217cm, $3500 and used in the glorification of war through capitalism including Western film, fashion, computer games and children’s toys. This device exposes the capacity for the aesthetic to attract and mesmerise an audience. Thirdly, the tattooing of the figures is a play on the resounding roll of the drums and beat of the ceremonial “Military Tattoo”. In the painting, the tattoos of military objects on the soldiers’ figure symbolise the ferocity of war and the scars that remain indelibly imprinted on the psyche and human form.

ALICE #3 is part of a series of work titled ‘ALICE’, inspired from the iconic tale of ‘Alice in Wonderland’.

Just as ‘Wonderland’ challenged the rule of language and limitations, I have chosen to push boundaries of traditional photographic and viewing practices in relation to identity and realism.

Dena Ashbolt

The aim of my art is to achieve visual synthesis of elements aligned with the physical laws of nature.

I apply minimal human component, interacting with the canvas at specified intervals. I wait and watch. Just like formation of sedimentary rocks, crystallisation or any other process in nature my paintings are true evidence of the particular moment and circumstances.

My work explores the fragility of our world and the impact that man has on the environment.

This painting is my visual reaction to the mortgage crisis we are in. At this difficult economic time we struggle to survive, worrying, “Am I able to make payment s and keep the house?” At the same time dealing with the rising pressure of Modern living, hence the thermometer format. To exaggerate the tension and volatility, I’ve used a red visible ground and used matchsticks to construct the house frames and fence lines.

Detour 27 (video still) DVD loop edition 10, 2008, $100

‘Detour 27’ hovers curiously between states. At first glance it seems firmly grounded in the traditions of representational drawing and painting.

However, by colliding the mode with performance, video and animation, I manage to work both at the edges of drawing practice and within the traditional idiom.

Feather Grid 3 Wood & feathers 2009, 59 x 153 x 7cm, $960

Ibis and cockatoos squawk and nest in tall mountain ash trees near my house. I collect their fallen feathers each week as I walk my dog beneath the trees. I enjoy handling materials, mainly using found objects and recycled wood, texture is important to me and I like to maintain a roughness or handmade quality to some of the materials. In this constructed relief sculpture I’m interested in exploring the power of repetition and organisation through the use of a grid structure and then disturbing that with freer organic layers (feathers).

Blanket continues a fascination with the everyday object released from quotidian functionality. One plastic cup remains just a plastic cup; six hundred and twenty five plastic cups, however, en masse, can become something else entirely…. The result of a mechanical project of drilling, threading, tying and knotting, Blanket embodies the perfect geometric grid and its reallife inevitable - and far more interesting - distortion.

By exploring and examining traditional notions of the feminine, I seek to create works depicting beauty, grace and harmony. I am captivated by the female form, and intrigued with the subtlety between the sensual and the sexual. My work celebrates the sensitivity and beauty of the female figure and traditional female art forms, experiences and iconography. I want to cherish and revere what is uniquely female.

In a similar way to how film and photography might explore sound, silence and movement, I investigate the material qualities of painting, the substance of paint and its application.

Eva Hampel In my painting, I am attempting to bridge reality and the dream – to embody the response felt by many, but rarely articulated.

In this attempt to elicit a very personal response from the viewer, I am painting not a place, but a more subjective and unique experience.

The intention is to express emotional responses to landscape that are beyond the particular. It is my hope that people looking at my work can share those transcendent moments of recognition, and for every viewer there will be a different resonance, of some experience lived, or some dream half remembered.

My current body of work displays a series of portraits exploring the notion of ‘esperpento’. The term was invented by the Spanish playwright ValleInclan as a description of his literary style. This may involve a distorted view of reality, the implementation of unusual viewpoints and/or the exaggeration of form. This particular work reflects on the psychology of ones’ upbringing and the consequences of not meeting real or perceived expectations.

Susan Hase Caring for a loved one with dementia has triggered my exploration into the psychic landscape. I use the written word like an unbroken memory line and as a tool for my own healing. These meditations contain my story and are under the influence of the Aboriginal tradition of verbal Song Lines. Words are like footsteps; they linger on this planet after they have been planted.

Cathy Henenberg

Surrounded by global information and communication systems, I am interested in the ways they have transformed our relationships to time and space. The technique I use to explore these ideas is the photogram. It is a camera-less image made by laying objects on sensitized photographic paper and exposing them to light. There is room for abstraction, for creating Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, from the Series ‘Here-there-elsewhere’ an evocation in preference Silver Gelatin Prints; Forex; Wood 2008 to a literal representation.

158 x 148cm, $2000 Conceptually this photogram alludes to a central contemporary concern; the ‘phenomenon of emptiness’. It becomes possible to simultaneously record an event or an object, to refer to its ‘presence’ while at the same time illustrating its ‘absence’, alluding to the problematics associated with mediated forms of contemporary communication.

The composition for ‘Red Earth’ was created to throw caution to our global warming attitude. The crowd dancing in ignorant bliss and the heat of the sun are all ominous symbolic perceptions of what is to come. The colours and luminosity of the paint create atmosphere. The large brushstrokes generate movement and depth and the lack of paint on canvas in the area of the sun is representative of emptiness.

Red Earth Oil on canvas 2008, 92 x 61cm $800

The beauty of art is perception. What we are looking at? Are we witnessing pleasure? Pain? Anger? Bliss? Plotting? Scheming? They are strangely familiar yet from an entirely different world. We want to help, yet are shocked at what we see. How far do we let ourselves in? This triptych investigates the Geisha, peeling back the layers of make up and exposing the vulnerable and often jaded individual underneath; the beauty and pain felt by those who have chosen this path in life, regardless of the reason.

While there is colour, there is darkness; pleasure and pain; acceptance and fear.

For this competition I have created ‘Bloodline (In Loving Memory of Beth)’. This work is my attempt to reconcile the grief associated with the death of my grandmother.

I have drawn on visual language that triggers memory and evokes an emotional response in the viewer. Such as her favorite orange roses, I have used to create/plant a proverbial rose garden with.

These make reference to the ones placed on her grave, and the potent association of roses with grieving.

In my art practice I endeavor to create works that are beautiful and accessible while addressing challengling concepts.

What does it mean to say something is alive? Life is a state of becoming; a photosynthesis of chemistry, water and light, a vibration of energy and excitement. It is transformative.

Life is an evolving phenomenon, a metamorphosis of single cells multiplying and evolving into complexity.

These simple cellular forms distil the very essence of lifeforms and proudly reference the method of their creation via a photosynthesis of light Lifeforms on chemically prepared surfaces.

These imagined spaces in-between technological and living systems allow for a potent and futuristic bio-cultural remix. Representations of aliveness are contrived by a fascination with the potentiality of forms in the Petrie dish. Aliveness is folded into the creative process. Life here is an illusive info-fluid zone. Forms come into being – new mutated digital identities that question what it means to be alive.

I am interested in the idea of the footprints we leave on the world after we have left it. I like the idea that the objects we own will out-live us, and in years after our death, the scratches, creases and marks we have made on them will remain, even if only in a rubbish heap. The way a pair of jeans stretches and moulds to a body will still exist, even after the body has gone.

The “Navigator Series” begins to explore life’s answers at a molecular level, observing the ‘bigger picture’ with a reverence for life interwoven or connected.

I have been influenced by the scientific theories known as “String Theory”. It attempts to describe the structure of our universe. The paintings can be seen as sculptural landscapes or ‘Lifescapes’. They are abstractions, where space shifts and our perceptions can change. The industrial tape is used in industry as a device for demarcating space.

Cate Maddy

Represented by Harrison Gallery This painting is a translation of my readings and explorations of nature, of mapping its formations and abstracting what I feel to be the ‘essence’ of a particular moment. The work aims to create a dialogue between silences and spaces and the landscape of shapes and shadows to create a metaphorical language through colour and formwhich although derived from the natural world, hints at many different meanings. In the distillation of shapes we see figurative elements, but at the same time recognise a more universal, emotional world of memory, Beast with no choice death, love, nurture and ecstasy.

Oil and Acrylic on canvas 2009, “Painting enables me to contemplate 134 x 104cm, $2800 my complex environment, including natural and constructed, social, cultural and emotional in an expression of limitation and the limitless. Symbolising our personal choices of what we include in our lives, our ability to exorcise the way we view life and our need for drama and exaggeration.”

To the reclusive Buddhist monk enlightenment is found through a state of ‘Mu’ (emptiness/nothingness). To the destitute Ronin the key is to react swiftly and instinctively to any unforeseen challenge. To the Akido master the way lies in a return to the basics, taught decades earlier. To the carefree wandering Haiku poet inspiration is drawn from the seasonal imagery encountered during their roving. To the Japanese landscape architect asymmetrical beauty is as much achieved by the design elements that are omitted as those that are included. To each of us the factors that shape our futures can be found along the road already travelled, the ups and downs, twists, turns and contoured undulations.

My work embodies the associations present in nature Playing with Red again with human Oil on canvas, mixed media 2008, 180 x 122cm expression and $3575 experience. I create forms inspired by nature, which evoke a sense of these human emotions.

My interest is in the concept how illusionist space operates within the reading and ambiguity of texture and form.

Theoretical areas such as the exploration of sociological and environmental aspects of suburban life form the major subtext to my research.

My study of quinces shows the intensity of the colours of the fruit and foliage, against the cool, plain ground of a white tablecloth. Painting directly from the subject requires a level of concentration and effort that is rewarded by the immediacy and strength of the image.

In fact, the absence of direct gaze and the blurring of the faces make the images more highly charged and disquieting.”

“The Visitor” is part of a body of work exploring the fundamental structures of growth.

This work began from a piece of text that ponders the uncertainties and paradoxes of scientific principles and abstract thought. From these uncertain beginnings, I have constructed a work that adopts the format of the page of a book. In this over-size version, the text is subjected to a series of lo-fi ‘information processing’ systems, variously circled, numbered, annotated, categorised, painted-out and looped together with thread, creating a frenetic mass of dysfunctional classification, and generating a multicoloured visual field. Drawing loose parallels between the content of the text and the working process itself, I present an abstraction that trips on it’s own systems, creating chaos in an earnest attempt to impose order.

Represented by Blue Door Gallery Kate Murdoch’s work reflects the continual transformation of nature. The paintings are places where the eye can be challenged and simultaneously find rest among layers of organic shapes.

The abstract nature of the work allows individual interpretation. Her current work has developed into montages based on photographs taken of tropical foliage. Although a small study is the basis of each work the paintings tend to develop in ways that are quite removed from the original concept. In this way she allows each work to reveal itself through her subconscious. It is this unpredictability that gives her momentum in her creative process.

Penny Parkinson I am fascinated with the human condition in our post industrial age. Changes in the sciences and technology are happening quickly, whilst the reality of our environmental challenges is becoming apparent. My art is a response to the imperfect human spirit in this time of change. I draw inspiration from everyday consumer and industrial objects. For me, they represent some truth and reality of our fast, modern, post industrial lives. I take ordinary objects like fly screen and stockings, and re-create them into new forms. My work always contrasts materials; soft and hard, friendly and nasty.

The aim of my linoprint is to arouse interest in a largely ignored piece of Australian history. Contrary to popular belief the place to see a hanging in the early 19th C was not London but Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania).

Between the years 1824-1836 two hundred and sixty convincts (two hundred and fifty nine male, one female) were hanged in Hobart Town. This is out off a convict population that ranged from approximately six thousand in 1824 to seventeen thousand in 1836.

As an ecclesiastical stained glass window is a representation of spirit through light and beyond written description. This piece aims to delight and inspire in the most simple of ways.

‘People in high places’ is part of a series of works which explore concepts and modes of spatial representation through the process of drawing. My work mines various aspects of history from sourced imagery, combined with analytically constructed spaces to create an assortment of scenarios that indicate and hint at historical perspectives. Conversely, these ‘would be’ historical representations are constructed to reflect on the contemporary nature of living.

Louise Skacej ‘Brain Patterned Heart’ is an exploration of a dialogue between cerebral and emotional landscapes. The path of the brain, which tracks across the pulmonary terrain in one continuous line, is a coded tattoo of information. Thus the heart attains a knowledge and memory- it responds to this flow of information about its corporeal state.

It’s architecture pulses back, shaping and directing the path of the mind. This work manifests a physical compulsion for the artist to represent her response to this tandem relationship.

The changing face of now Watercolour on paper 2008, 45 x 180cm $1200

I am currently using the fluidity of watercolour to express a personal perception of self and others and the changing nature of how we relate. In a time when technology brings many alternative means of communication, I am trying to bring awareness to the universal human condition that is facial expression. By creating a progression of images, I explore the changing perception of personalities as they shift over time, in attitude or mood.

This piece explores and tests combinations of narrative through the use of different conventions of painting. It does this by creating ambiguity within the reading of the narrative. By layering the reading of the work I have create a two dimensional work that integrates painting and drawing, and deals with the balance between the rational and the irrational, the logical and the illogical, the tangible and the intangible. The work utilises popular iconography and stream of consciousness, in conjunction with automatic drawing and painting techniques, to explore how each viewer identifies a different narrative. Through combinations of figurative, abstract and decorative imagery, a sense of complexity is created within the narrative.

Phi Van Nguyen Tattoo, you either hate them or love them. Tattoo is hidden art works that never get to reveal to the public, we see it unless someone show us. It’s not like comics that you see on paper or paintings that you see on canvas. It’s somewhere between sculpture and fashion. All tattoo mean something. The meaning may be generalised as in the The Hidden World Revealed case of the Maori, to whom the Video 2007 (video still) POA very fact of being tattooed meant manhood attained. Or it may be informational as in the tattooing of criminals, slaves, prisoners. The meaning may be purely symbolic. Tattoo is my personal interests, something that I have always admired. Specially the Japanese tattoo, they use traditional tools and natural vegetable colours. The iconography too is traditional, the cherry-blossom and wave motifs on the shoulder and chest sections of full-body tattoo. I’m creating a morphing video of the collection of Japanese tattoo, exploring and explaining the meaning of their iconography.

Represented by Kristian Pithie Gallery Taking inspiration from natural forms and characteristics of today technologies, I experiment with a process of fragmentation in which a dialectical relationship between order and randomness, chance and necessity is the basis for me to create objects that are not so much about capturing ‘physical reality’ but about presenting subtle signs of changing times and meanings while also allowing for memory and fantasy to come together.
