Jamie Edward
Jamie’s work reflects the inspiration he finds in nature and its beauty,
space and animals. He contrasts this playfully with his observations
about Australian culture and the waste - of time, of lives, of resources
- that has become a part of this.
Using wood and paint, he explores the relationship between the
beautiful and the ugly, and the contrast and the coexistence of this in
our surroundings.
Jamie re-imagines the totems, symbolism and sculptures of
civilisations in an often cheeky commentary on the Australian culture
and values of today.

Can I Stay
Can I stay captures the fluidity of time in its ever-evolving character. Through reflection and
process, subtle memories are captured in each sculpture as the path of connecting lines,
form and structure are revealed. Rhianna Chillingworth honours the duality present within
each woven leaf, as the attentive improvisation and synthesis of repetition linger. If you stay
long enough, the woven memories will converge into a nestled hold, inviting you to
surrender, appreciate the present and be open to the future.

SHADOWBOXING
Based on curiosity cabinets and museum exhibits containing various scenarios and objects, Shadowboxing contains an absurdist and playful Australian colonial historical narrative. The works examine the themes of Australian exploration and colonisation with scenes featuring explorers encountering giant animals and fantastic creatures. Housed in varied shadow box dioramas, the works are also influenced by the museum dioramas of my childhood, particularly at the old Melbourne Museum, when I was mesmerised by different scenes from natural history featuring animals and foliage in front of a painted backdrop.
