Jacqueline Aust: Still Life
Jacqueline Aust’s series of etchings draw on the principles of Dutch still-life painting
using pictorial elements such as the bones of native birds
to warn against behaviours that reduce our rare species to delicate remains.
As symbols they carry messages that delicately flutter between life and death,
warm and chill, stillness and movement.
Michele Bryant: The Considerations
Michele's work often centres around the idea of decision-making
Michele's work often centres around the idea of decision-making
as a constant and shifting process,
dependent on any one time on a number of variables that surround us.
We may try to be constant or consistent, but there are always considerations,
large or small, that influence where and how we live our lives.
