Congratulations Isabel H – Year 12

At the recent Metropolitan Regional Exhibition | 2024 Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art, Isabel H was presented with a commendation for their installation Meals of Memories (2024. In the submission artist statement Isabel states:

‘Meals of Memories’ examines the functional and dysfunctional, via the prism of mealtime. A familiar routine, mealtime evokes a physical response yet can be framed by cognitive absence. Here the physical, sensory, functional experience of eating is posed in contrast to a dysfunctional detachment of the mind. It causes an absence from memory in both the moment and afterwards. We do it but forget we are doing it or have done it. Contrasting 2D and 3D elements separated across a space cause viewers to seek compositional unity, signifying separation of experience and memory.’

Our congratulations to Isabel on this success.

News from Visual Arts Department

Visual Art Studio with Nancy Brown has commenced on Friday afternoon with students printing onto clay surfaces.  The screen-printed images have been printed using underglazes and can be transferred onto clay surfaces and fired and glazed. Students have started making clay forms and will be printing their own designs onto these surfaces in the coming weeks.
