'REOCCURING' BY YOLANDA SCHOLZ VINALL
Melbourne-based artist Yolanda Scholz Vinall works primarily with painting, ceramics, installation and video works. Her work unpacks ideas surrounding unpaid domestic labour, slowing down, sustainability and connection to local environments. Her material-led practice is used as a vessel to explore these ideas through making. Scholz Vinall experiments with creating her own pigments through locally and ethically obtained materials to provide an embodied and visceral relationship to the time and place in which they have been made. Engaged with ideas around the sensory and ephemeral nature of memory, site, decay and process, her works offer a hopeful calling to slow down. To build a more nurturing and sustainable relationship with matter and our local, natural environments.
MAGICAL INTERIORITY BY AVEN HODGESS
Aven Hodgess is a Melbourne based artist, who’s work is intuitive and process lead. Aven makes abstract figurative images to engage the mind, the eye and to speak to image making.
She works on X-Ray's that make visible to what lies beneath our skin, showing the mysterious magic of our body’s interiors. X-rays reveal the unseen, exposing our bodies' vulnerabilities and mortality. Some X-ray images are displayed on light boxes, offering different interpretations with the light on or off, and viewers are encouraged to switch between them.The series of small collages titled ‘Sensory Poems’ uses found anatomical images and fabrics. Each image is alike a short Poem, each one intimate and unique.
