If life is like being on a long haul aircraft flight - "cabined, cribbed, confined" as Macbeth remarked - then does it really matter if it bursts into flame before we arrive anywhere?  Acid Test (in process working image) Kate Koivisto Wheeler 2017 Acid Test (mixed media, dimensions variable, 2017) is a new installation work which draws from and builds on an earlier, smaller sculptural work of the artist's, titled Fire Box.
"Pyro- Origin: from Greek pur ‘fire’."(Google Search) "Pure Origin: from Latin purus, which derives from the Greek… pur 'fire'… as initially fire was used for cleansing." (https://ewonago.wordpress.com/2009/03/07/etymology-of-pure/) Acid Test Australian/British artist Kate Koivisto Wheeler completed a BA Design and a BA Visual Art at the Schools of Art and Design at Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Western Australia. Her work process is experimental and intuitive, combining drawing, sculpture and painting with other materials and techniques, to create reflective works with a poetic language and approach. In 2016, she was selected for and exhibited in four projects: Stations of the Cross 2016 (curated by Claire Bushby), SCENE 2016 (Nyisztor Studio, Melville), a solo residency at ARTLAAB, ALVA, UWA (diamondskull alchemy earth), a solo exhibition, The Three Graces (Peek-a-Boo Gallery, Gotham Studios Inc, Perth Cultural Centre); and launched her art jewellery label, DIAMONDSKULL. She is currently working on a collaborative duo project.  Glory Days (Quoll), 2016. Acrylic on Jarrah, waxed linen thread, 24.5 x 18 x 2 cm  Gould’s Long–eared Bat, 2016. Acrylic on Jarrah, waxed linen thread, 24.5 x 18 x 2 cm  Western Grey Kangaroos, 2016. Acrylic on Jarrah, waxed linen thread, 24.5 x 18 x 2 cm These Jarrah icons of native South Western Australian animals derive from my interest in miniature religious icon paintings from Europe and Ethiopia, and in the use of objects for the purposes of ritual and worship. Some Christian cultures believe that in the process of making the icons, the subject is brought to life. If only this would work for the threatened Quoll...
 Elevation 2016, oil on board 60 x 90 cm Expanding upon the vocabulary of hard edge abstraction and concrete art, Jackson sets up complex spatial and colour relationships which deliver surprisingly seductive results. These works display a cool tension, competing structural elements and unexpected colour juxtapositions jostle about the eye. Seemingly oppositional formal components achieve a sense of visual harmony through Jackson’s rhythmic use of line and subtle tonal interplay.
- Melody Smith (2013)  Ian Williams 'Slipstream' oil on panel 30 x 53cm 2016 Slipstream is from a series of works which are an exploration of mimicry and familiarity within virtual environments. Williams uses duplication and reflection in an attempt to understand the relationship between the physical world and video game spaces, examining both sides of the screen.
Williams was born in Truro, UK in 1976. He graduated from the Central Institute of Technology in 2011 with an Advanced Diploma in Visual Arts, and in 2013 completed his Bachelor of Arts at Curtin University. Ian works mainly within the mediums of painting and drawing, and has work in public and private collections in Australia, including the Curtin University, University of Western Australia and Central Institute of Technology collections. Ian was a finalist in the 2015 Bankwest Art Prize and the 2015 Macquarie Art Prize (Sydney), with recent shows at Free Range, MOP Projects (Sydney) and Linton & Kay. He is currently working towards an exhibition with Nathan Brooker at Turner Galleries. Currently at Peek-a-Boo Gallery:  Michael Doherty 'This Dune Life' 2016, oil on canvas 50x50cm. Wood, shell, pine sap, stone. 'In the work 'This Dune Life', I was interested in combining painting and sculpture. Since moving to the coast recently I've collected a variety of objects from Shoalwater Marine Park, that reflect art history and can be combined together into still life combinations.'

‘Men, I learned somewhat later in life, “exposed themselves,” but the operation was quite deliberate and circumscribed. For a woman making a spectacle out of herself had more to do with a kind of inadvertency and loss of boundaries’ -Mary Russo I’ve been a very bad girl. Lauren McCartney is an artist and academic |
