GEOFF MORRELL
Painter/Musician/Actor.
Since 1995, Geoff Morrell has made a name for himself as an artist who effortlessly crosses the boundaries between painting, sculpture and collage to create powerful and astonishing work. Reclaiming found materials such as pieces of old linoleum and discarded wood, Morrell cuts and splices them together - sometimes even including chopped up pieces of his own original paintings - reimagining these fragmentary pieces into abstract patterns, vast landscapes or evocative memories. Not all Morrell’s works are made in this way however - some of his original paintings have been spared this “butchering” process and survive intact.

JAMEE BARKER
Jamee Barker is a painter who explores themes of identity, the afterlife, and rebirth through ethereal, dream-like images of human and non-human beings. Specializing in oil painting and poetry, Barker expresses vulnerability in an imagined world. Living and working on Dharawal land, she is deeply aware of place and the natural world, reflecting on its displacement due to current environmental issues in her creative process.

ABBEY MCQUEEN
Living and crafting on Dharawal land, her works are a raw form of documentation through automatic painting and writing practices.
Each piece is an experiment, a direct response to her experiences and the inspirations from her home (Bundjalung Country)
By mixing painting and dyeing in layers, her work reflects the organic reality of transformation and impermanence.
