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 […]

Capturing the characterful river gums that hold court along the riverbanks and rocky pools of Western Australia’s mid-north west is a recurring subject in Melissa Boughey’s practice.
Says Boughey of her process, “Gouache sketches of gum trees along riverbanks and rocky pools, from a recent road trip into the mid-north west of WA, informed my studio practice.
“The sketches, pared back and instinctual, later become the emotional marker and physical reminder of the feeling of place. They inform the paintings in the beginning, the very first tentative marks – a mapping of place. A little further on in the process I usually abandon pre-conceived ideas and instead respond to the push and pull of paint on surface. I’m in the flow and this energy must be harnessed directly.”
Melissa Boughey`s current exhibition `Entangled Curiosities` is on view at the Woolloomooloo gallery until 7 November. To read more about the artworks in the exhibition, follow the link in bio.

From Monet to Mapplethorpe, Van Gogh to O’Keefe, flowers are the ultimate artist’s muse. Representing life, death and almost everything in between, they remind us that beauty is both scarce and abundant, fragile and resilient, fleeting but always returning.
After this up-and-down weather in Sydney, we all deserve some flowers, so enjoy this curation of blooms, and see how our artists interpret flora into their work.
SIMON CARDWELL
Drawing from the beauty of botanicals and birds, my art serves as a vessel for both ancient allegories and contemporary narratives,” says Simon Cardwell, who photographs each element in the montage from real life, including sea- and skyscapes of Bondi Beach and birdlife in his local area.

LLEWELLYN SKYE
Through gestural, expressive florals and dense layers of oil paint, the work channels personal memory, feminine lineage, and the emotional landscapes of transition. It is both a farewell and a grounding, a recognition that everything she carries, all she’s inherited and lived, converges here, in this moment of becoming.

LILLI WATERS
Flowers emerging out of darkness, reminiscent of the Dutch masterpieces of the 17th century are a reminder of the transitory nature of everything. Floating alongside the blossoms are jewel-like creatures and shells, dramatically shrouded by golden nets and sheets of suffocating cellophane.
“We are living through an age where our lens on the world must constantly shift and refocus as new ideas, crises, social movements and the natural environment rapidly change,” says Lilli Waters. “The viewer is invited to embrace their own mortality and energy for change simultaneously. To dare to be one’s own illumination – like a transient point of light in a night sky.”

Hannah Quinlivan’s practice has been recognised for its skilful exploration of ideas around human movement, emotional cognition and time’s flowing passage. Through various methods of exploring line and form – via traditional drawing techniques and weaving methodologies using wire, adhesive tape or LED lighting – Hannah challenges the way we expect line to operate and be presented.
Says Quinlivan, "Ripples spread outward from moments of impact, tracing how water meets rock and releases its energy. These movements collide and dissolve, carrying both immediacy and deep time. Years gather in each mark, water responding to surface, wind responding in turn. Heat shifts the drawing, sometimes carving inward, sometimes pulling outward. The work is shaped by continual exchange, never settling into a single state."

STOCKROOM SPOTLIGHT.
"I accumulated photographs of transitional landscapes such as rubble, weeds, fences, and empty plots of land in the Sydenham/Marrickville area surrounding my studio," says Jasmine Mowbray of this work. "I enjoyed how the grid of the construction fence sat in contrast with the untamed weeds in the surroundings, determined to grow through the slabs of concrete and rubble. This material evolved into unexpected shapes in the studio. The green flames and lights bring a third element, maybe a sense of procession or ritual to the work."

"`Iron Stain, Rose Tint` explores the romanticisation and reshaping of memory," says Isabelle de Kleine. "The rose-tinted lens of nostalgia, and the degradation of recall that occurs in the passing of time. In particular referencing the journey of revisiting a place of significance in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia. Hours along a dusty desert road to a place that holds memories of love and loss. This painting intends to portray a softer lens, finding peace in the settled dust."
