Karena Keys, Australia "Within my painting practice I am primarily concerned with an investigation into the limitations and advantages of the medium paint itself. I use acrylic paint to create objects that exist beyond the picture plane, within the space of the viewer and that ask to co-exist within our lives. I want my paintings to permeate space and move where traditional boundaries of art are no longer present. I do this by using paint as a plastic medium. I cast it around objects, I stretch it, sew it, crotchet it and knit it together, to make works that could even sometimes be functional. I am also interested in the nature of paint as a sculptural material and its relationship with the body. When taken away from canvas and other traditional supports acrylic paint is intimate and interactive. It will harden in cold environments to become tough sometimes brittle, but when it is warm or wrapped around a body it will heat up and become malleable and soft. I am interested in this idea of paintings that are suseptible to their environment and are reactive to human touch. I aim to make works that challenge the notion of what a painting can be and that reify paint not only as an object but also as a way of life." |

Cristina Pancini, Italy "The traveller who’s able to leave behind his past is the one who’s mostly prone to discovery. Inclined to observation, maybe due to his condition of random spectator, he starts glancing around him. Seduced by some outstanding aspects he will try to relate to the intimacy of things. |

Pamela Rasbach, Canada - Visceral Fabrications Visceral Fabrications explores elemental isolations within the body. Blood, bones and oxygen – all made up of elements created from stars that died billions of years ago. This piece explores a sense of internal luminosity and describes the individual’s elemental composition through filmed movement phrases. (choreography/media art- edited dance composition) |

Anthony Reach, USA "Boxers & Presidents mixed with war time defense systems result in the twisting of one’s arm to relate two events that may not necessarily link up. Yet as punches smear faces and transform into new imagery the imagination is questioned to make sense of it all. I choose my imagery from historical moments in US history not with the intent of creating political or social commentary, but find forms entangled in violent behavior very powerful, regardless of what the catalyst may have been for fighting." |

Frederick Sorell, England "I am playing with he human head as a motif, using it both as an abstract object and a means to communicate and conceal. Working from life drawings and then building an abstract, layered surface that breaks down the form, the head becomes less recognizable, but remains the base of a group of abstract forms." |
