OPENING TONIGHT | ‘Familiar Objects & Feral Arrangements’ curated by Elizabeth Smith

ARTIST PROFILE | Samuel Beilby (b. 1997) is a multi-media installation artist based in Whadjuk boodja (Perth, Western Australia). His multi-sensory practice addresses the sentience, softness and piercing brutality of contemporary digital and mechanical systems. Amidst a blurring of programs, humans, machines, information, matter, and digital and physical exchange, Beilby's work attempts to speculate upon the sonic, visual and ephemeral reverberations of non-human processes and tools. He is currently completing his Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Western Australia.

ARTIST PROFILE | Darcy Palladino is a local emerging artist working primarily with textile dyeing, natural dyeing processes, design, and patchwork quilting. She re-uses and repurposes offcuts and scrap fabric or calico focusing on improvisation and the surprising effects that has. Over the last twelve months, Palladino has been investigating the properties of local flora as a dye source. Harvesting natural dyestuffs from the local flora, she extracts colour from the plants which are then used in dyeing her fabrics. The result is a snapshot of the local WA landscape immortalised in crafted fabric pieces. Palladino is ultimately passionate about sustainable practice and interested in anthropology and history, and the wealth of knowledge possessed by the original custodians. ⁣

ARTIST PROFILE | Luisa Hansal is a multi-disciplinary artist employing methods of painting, sculpture and video. Her practice is rooted in working through personal and collective traumas and seeks to heal wounds left by loss. Although her work can at times be upbeat and humorous, it also references the taboo aspects of embodiment, challenging feminine constructs and the psychological conditions tied to the female human body. Luisa believes that of all the expressions of the tangible, the human body is the most vulnerable, the only source of all wonder, all anguish, and all that we know to be true. ⁣
