KATE BANAZI | You Get Me
Discover an expansive showcase of original artworks by emerging and established artists, spanning Australia and beyond.
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 […]

STOCKROOM SPOTLIGHT.
Eugenie Kawabata`s sculptural works draw inspiration from the protists, fungi, lichen, mosses, and plant life of the Takayna region in western Tasmania — one of the world’s last surviving Gondwana rainforests — presenting imagined entities that embody the spirit of this ancient ecosystem and the dense networks of life beneath its canopy.
Textile waste is built into sculptural forms that feel both organic and otherworldly; through stitching, dyeing, painting, and resin application, she creates objects that appear as relics from another civilisation or specimens unearthed from the forest floor, oscillating between design object and sculptural artefact.
Featured Artwork: `Botanica Exotica: Takayna #13`, 2025, fabric, resin, acrylic paint, dyes, composition foil gold leaf, mixed media, 79 × 37 × 37 cm

UPCOMING.
Curatorial+Co. is thrilled to present Melissa Boughey`s latest body of work, ‘Entangled Curiosities’, in our Woolloomooloo gallery from 21 October to 7 November.
JOIN US for the opening celebration on Wednesday 21 October, from 5:30–8pm.
Melissa Boughey`s work moves between representational and abstracted forms that speak to containment and care, reflecting a reciprocal relationship with the natural world; she cares for the landscape and it nurtures her in turn. She follows curiosity rather than a fixed path, working at the intersection of what she already knows and what she newly encounters, seeking landscapes that feel like they are already part of her.

UPCOMING.
Curatorial+Co. is thrilled to present Katarina Wells`s latest body of work, ‘Marks, Tracks, and Traces’, in our Woolloomooloo gallery from 21 October to 7 November.
JOIN US for the opening celebration on Wednesday 21 October, from 5:30–8pm.
Katarina Wells’s practice is shaped by wabi-sabi, the philosophy of finding beauty in the imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. She uses clay to map the physical evidence of existence: layers of compressed sediment, leaves decaying into the earth, animal tracks fading in the sand, and tangled seaweed washed ashore.
