I start Chemo on Monday so thought I would get some canvasses drawn up in case I can work. Some of the images my niece, @__shell____ gave me to work with are suggestive of faces and human shapes. Normally I would shun any attempt to work this way but Hangjng Rock suggests mystery and disquite, so why not Canvas 60 x 90cms #eurobodallaartists #australian.landscape.painting #neoexpressionistpainting #italiancollagistscollective #tygergallery

‘Get the boy a dog and call it a day’ Catalogue is now available. Including essays by Shell Odgers and Dr Wulan Dirgantoro. Link in my bio. Exhibition continues until 16 August at @heidemoma

@badraaji @heidemoma curated by @__shell____ ‘Give the boy a dog and call it a day’ opened today with a generously insightful artist talk about working through family karma, and leaving some questions unanswered. Beautiful process, beautiful work. On until 16 August 👣

We are excited for upcoming exhibitions featuring the Mailbox alumni artists @badraaji , @jordan.l.wood , @yongpingren exhibitions at @heidemoma and @_altaforma_ Be sure to check them out! 👀 @jordan.l.wood and @yongpingren are apart of a group exhibition titled LIQUID. LIQUID explores the transformative qualities of materials that flow, run, drip, shift and move. 💦 @badraaji exhibition titled ‘Get the boy a dog and call it a day’ seeks to locate a missing half-sister to disprove a hereditary love curse, while exploring intergenerational trauma, heteronormativity and the escalating tide of conservatism and queerphobia in Indonesia. This exhibition has been curated by the amazing previous co-director of mailbox @__shell____ ! Woo! ✨✨

🍃 It’s the last week to see 𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘛𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺, closing Saturday 27 September 🍃 The artists hands are clearly visible in the ceramic pinch pots, plaques and sculptures which culminate in 𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘛𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺. The pieces are at first glance abstracted, yet on closer inspection are united by their mimicry of natural and organic forms, including geological aggregates, coral organisms, seed pods, their resulting flora, and the landscapes in which these reside. Distilled into hand-built forms, each piece is rendered instinctively in clay then marked with intricate surface pattern. Richly layered glaze has been applied with intuitive and vivid use of colour, creating motifs that warp and shift into rhythmic decoration. 𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘛𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 celebrates the innate human inclination to seek connections with nature and other living systems. @allydimattina , Sal Felsinger, Sam Forster and Dave Mendelsohn are studio artists at @artsprojectaust (APA), an internationally leading visual arts organisation that champions neurodivergent artists and artists with intellectual disability. Through their studio program, exhibition opportunities, and professional development pathways, they empower APA artists to develop their practice and meaningful careers in the contemporary art world. All four artists are represented by Arts Project Australia, Naarm/Melbourne. Curated by @__shell____ #BiophilicTendency #ClosingSoon #MailboxArtSpace #Ceramics

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday afternoon for the opening celebration of Embodied: Limitless 2025 Commission Series! ✨ Congratulations to APA artists Mark Smith (@marksmithagain ) and Bronwyn Hack (@brin_drawing_pencil ) for presenting major new commissions in the first exhibition of the Limitless series. Congratulations also to curator Jo Salt (@jojosalt ), and a big thank you to APA studio staff artists Jodie Kipps and Peter Douglas, whose generous guidance and support were integral to this project. 💫 Embodied: Limitless 2025 Commission Series highlights artistic rigour and experimental, process-driven practice. The exhibition frames the body as both subject and metaphor, inviting expansive and deeply personal interpretations. This exhibition continues until Saturday 4 October at the APA Gallery, Collingwood Yards.🫀 Photos: Kate Longley #ArtsProjectAustralia #ContemporaryArt #EmbodiedLimitless2025
