TRUDI BRINCKMAN is a Hobart based installation artist who works with found materials and has a close affinity with the element of water. Trudi sources objects and materials from her familiar environment such as water and plastics and examines qualities inherent in these materials that exist beneath the visible, rendering the familiar as unfamiliar. She delicately peels back layers, revealing an undercurrent that provides a visual language with the relationship to the world we construct, inhabit and build emotional connections to, presenting an alternative language for the way we understand our manufactured environment.

LEE LEE CHAN has expanded her choice of mediums from painting to photography, sculpture and installation. The paper-and-glue collage approach that she used in painting has emerged as an overall mentality that she takes to the making of each piece. Each of these mediums joins as a collaborator in a more complex exploration of its possibilities. Sometimes, mediums become indistinguishable through the endless transformation and accumulation of materials: cut-outs from fashion magazines and movie stills, found objects, glitter, industrial and reflective materials, everyday consumer products and aqua resin. In the end, each of the mediums is subservient to the resulting whole. She is based in New York City.

ADAM FREZZA (USA, 1977) is a multi-disciplinary artist working in paint, collage, photography, sculpture, and installation. Born in upstate New York, Frezza has studied at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and University of Florida. He currently lives and works in New York City.

THE FRIENDLY FALCONS AND THEIR FRIEND THE SNAKE is the artist team of Jeffrey Kurosaki and Tara Pelletier. Using pared-down landscapes, portrayals of natural phenomenon, and personified animals to describe their reactions to sites, they perform narratives with sculpture and music. Ultimately, their projects speak to those moments in life where time stands still. Kurosaki/Pelletier deconstruct these moments and reconstruct them as choreographed productions to be interpreted through the personal history of the audience.

COLIN LANGRIDGE'S recent art practice has developed from studying Baroque figurative artworks where he has manipulated fabric folds into expressive sculptural forms. Previously he studied outmoded forms of traditional trade craft practices, such as coopering and wooden boat building, by extending the process to create unique sculptural forms. He has also worked with designers and engineers to create large steel sculptures for outdoor public art projects. Underlying much of Langridge’s art practice is his desire to shift the function of his art from being a tool for communication towards raising the question of Being. The artworks often encourage the viewer to ask: ‘What is it?’ Colin is based in Hobart, Tasmania.

ESPERANZA MAYORBE is a Brooklyn-based, Venezuelan artist who makes project-based work that explores cultural/social hierarchies and the tragedy/triumph of the human condition. She selects the media and materials used on each piece in accordance to the idea that she is working with.

MISH MEIJERS is an inter-disciplinary artist based in Hobart, Tasmania. Her solo practice experiments in surface tensions: how one material conforms or abrades against the matter of another. Whether in actuality, or within conceptual content, she distorts the inherent worth and significance of her objects with regard to popular culture, gender determination and functionality, in an alchemic and at times discordant sensibility to construct her sculptural tableaux.

TOM O'HERN is a Hobart based artist who’s practice spans drawing, sculpture, installation and murals. Tom studied a Batchelor of fine Arts (Honours) at the University of Tasmania. His work is a personal narrative exploring masculinity and suburbia.

TRICKY WALSH builds circuits. Her installation practice is either; A composition of interconnecting components that construct conceptual and interdependent environment/relationships. Or.
Assemblages of (made) deconstructive machines that illustrate a system of social and architectural orthopaedics. Sometimes both. By and large, She prefers the interstitial and tends to focus the construction of life in the dark and/or unexpected, overlooked places. She also paints, makes comics and films.

AMANDA VALDEZ: Fabric, embroidery, paint, sewing machine, and a frame: these ingredients in Amanda Valdez's current body of work “Fabric Paintings” allow a process of invention and play with images and material from diverse sources. The abstracted body becomes central in the treatment of shapes and evoked through the fabric material. Raised in Seattle, Washington she received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and is currently an MFA candidate at Hunter College in New York City. Additionally, she studied at Utrecht University in The Netherlands and Ox-Bow School of Art in Michigan. Amanda has received a Yaddo Artist-in-Residency award, she received the 2011 College Art Association MFA Professional-Development Fellowship, is a contributing arts editor at Dossier Journal, and recently participated in the group show Xanadu: A Stately Pleasure Dome, at Soil Gallery in Seattle.

LAS HERMANAS IGLESIAS is a collaborative team of sisters, Lisa and Janelle Iglesias, the youngest of four daughters and second generation Americans: Norwegian/Dominican Queens, NY natives. Las Hermanas Iglesias creates multi-media works that incorporate interactive elements, transgress borders between disciplines and address a range of shared autobiographical experiences. The synthesis of their background, from Dominican and Norwegian parents and their experience of the dynamic environment of Queens influences their work, which often comments on bridging disparate materials and practices and speaks to the challenges and possibilities of collaboration. Las Hermanas mixes their individual interests and processes and finds potential in the overlap as well as the space between.
