There is an essential alchemy to the way Emily Ebbs creates – foraging, boiling, preparing, mixing, and dyeing. Below, we enter her inner landscape to discuss ritual, Irish Folklore, and embodied practice. Your process blends traditional painting techniques with what might be considered ‘unconventional’ materials in contemporary Western painting. How did materials like beeswax, wintergreen […]
Courtney McClelland navigates the complicated experience of existing within a body — the restlessness under the skin, the poetics of sensation. Familiar in its form yet multifarious in its translations, the body is a repository of histories, desires, intimacies, and vulnerabilities that articulate our corporeal being. Sometimes celebratory, sometimes escapist, McClelland’s figures reveal their connective […]
With equal measure of fascination and concern, William Versace began ‘Future Unearthed’ with his own creations of plastiglomerates. Known colloquially as ‘plastic gems’, these naturally fused anthropogenic rocks are made from a mixture of natural debris and plastic, and are found embedded in the earth’s surface. As a physical marker of human impact on the […]

In `You Get Me`, Kate Banazi creates pieces that jostle between wall art and sculpture. Packaging paper — often overlooked and discarded — is transformed into something to be valued, encased in clear boxes to be preserved and displayed.
Banazi says, `I`ve always been interested in the materiality of things and the idea of something to be revered and taken care of. People`s perception of what is worth keeping or something that is naturally discarded or not taken care of can be really beautiful. We just need to take time to see it.`
`You Get Me` is on view at the Woolloomooloo gallery until 17 October. To view the exhibition catalogue, follow the link in bio.

STOCKROOM SPOTLIGHT.
Courtney McClelland paints from a place of intuition and imagination. Layering the canvas in stains, the bodies reveal themselves in the shapes left behind within the pigment.
`The bodies I paint are always nude,` McClelland says. `I’m drawn to the vulnerability in the rendering of flesh with the instinctual, complicated feelings it incites, everywhere from lust to horror.`

“‘You Get Me’ began with a desire to follow things wherever they went—to be curious, playful and contradictory, while still searching for a resolve, even if it felt temporary,” says Kate Banazi about her latest body of work.
“Emerging from the noise in unfamiliar forms, as though recognition itself has had to be rebuilt, I’m in there somewhere, constantly rearranging myself.”
‘You Get Me’ is on view at the Woolloomooloo gallery until 17 October. To view the exhibition catalogue, follow the link in bio.
