Mind’s Eye

JESSICA MAIDEN

photography

Mind's Eye is the result of my studio component of my Honours research; an investigation into the anatomy of sight and the exploration of the eye. I attempt to picture my interpretation of my own vision's deterioration and the effect monocularity has on framing a photograph. Jessica Maiden

The Long Room and the Media Space

Self (un)contained: exploration of the subject, personal and lived body

ELIZABETH WRIGHT

photography

We are embedded in the world. Our reality, our perception is a by-product of our interaction with the space and objects around us. The tools that we use to engage with reality become extensions of our bodies. To understand this is to see each other as fundamentally the same. My body is different and my perception of the world is to adapt. And through this adaptation I engage and experience the space my body occupies. In this sense there is nothing different between you and me; there is no such thing as disability. Elizabeth Wright

The Locker Room and the Hoist

NESCA works: Burn. Cave.

JESSICA COUGHLAN

installation

In two interactive live works, I am investigating notions of the site specific and the viewer’s addition to the work through physical involvement. BURN suggests a coal seam that burns energy according to the whim of the viewer, whilst in CAVE the viewer becomes a significant part of the structure of the physical space of the building, whilst creating energy.

MICHAEL GOODYER (aka Reddog)

sculpture and painting

This project began as an investigation into public space, public art and placemaking, and has transcended into a study of the values, and influences that public space, public art and placemaking has on communities and concluded with the design of a community park structure proposed.
