Phoebe Clarke’s practice is an investigation that sits on the border of the alienating and the benign, with a focus on materiality and viewer dynamics. During her residency, Clarke will be manipulating three installations, to draw out these two states and nudge them into the viewer’s consciousness.

Jarrad Martyn’s practice explores how different moments in Australian history have been framed and how we engage with spaces after they have become abandoned. Through painting and installation Martyn employs the principles of bricolage ‘something constructed from a diverse range of things’ to bring together imagery and research to create a more conversational meaning of the history being explored.

Gabby Loo explores ideas and observations that arise on her travels to Midland during the residency. For each day that she visits, the artist will delve into new-found inspirations through the sequential art of pictographs and comics. These will take shape through drawing, textiles, printmaking and collage photography processes.

Bina Butcher and Tessa Beale will work in residence, creating conditions for quiet consideration of ephemeral moments through sound, video projection, found objects and works on paper. Exploring the movement of bodies of water, textures, shadows and sound, the artists aim to re-contextualise their own sensory experiences and interactions in a new environment: the gallery.
