Clare Longley

Clare is interested in how clichés can be repositioned, such that they may be encountered anew. Working with the mercurial medium of painting, she plays with different modes of mark-making, compositional relationships, and symbolic configurations in pursuit of a more careful understanding of creativity, love, and the incoherence that makes them. Clare Longley is an artist based in Narrm/Melbourne. She completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne (2014) and has since graduated from the Master of Fine Art program at Monash University, Melbourne (2021), where she wrote a thesis titled Three Routes Through Painting the Cliché.

Alice McIntosh

Alice McIntosh (based Naarm/Melbourne) makes sculpture and installation work that is materially focused. She uses processes of gleaning, combining, feeling and accumulating materials in order to converse with their preexisting social, historical or personal stories. Recently, her practice has expanded into education and is informed by conversations around early childhood development and education. Recent residencies include the Creative Fellowship, Marpha Foundation, Nepal. Watch this space, Alice Springs. She has exhibited at Green Monday Studios, Bus Projects, Gertrude Glasshouse, West Space, Seventh, Long Division Gallery, Punk Cafe, Brunswick Sculpture Centre, spacespace gallery (Tokyo) and a number offsite shows.

Honey Long

Honey Long and Prue Stent’s practice is a merging of photographic and sculptural disciplines. Grounded in experimentation between bodies, materials and environments, there is a pervasive desire to play with and entangle these spheres- seeking a greater sense of connection to them. Informed by processes of foraging and chance encounters, often cultural debris will become reconfigured within fluid and dreamy contexts, triggering subconscious associations while also aiming to avoid classification.Honey and Prue have been working together since 2010 and are currently based in Melbourne. Solo exhibitions have taken place at Arc One Gallery, Melbourne (2018), PhotoEspana, Madrid (2018) and Nicola Von Senger, Zurich (2018). Notable group shows they have been in include Eyes on Australia, Pingyao International Photography Festival, China (2019), In Her Words, Horsham Regional Gallery, Melbourne (2019) Future Feminine, Fahey/ Klein Gallery, Los Angeles (2018), London Photo, The Female Lens: 9 Contemporary photographers, Huxley Parlour Gallery (2018), The Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award Finalist Exhibition, Gold Coast (2018), REVERIE REVELRY: Fashion Through Photography, Ballarat Foto Biennale, Melbourne (2017) and Trash Cans For Hearts and People Have No Soul, Fotofestwal Lodz, Poland (2017)They are currently represented by ARC ONE Gallery, Melbourne

Julia Trybala

Julia Trybala draws inspiration from everyday life, including personal experiences, relationships and conversations with family and friends. Working in painting and drawing, the early-career artist’s figurative practice maintains an astute dialogue with art history, questioning how feminine bodies have been represented across time and how these bodies occupy physical space in art and the world.

Madeleine Russo

Mashara Wachjudy

Mashara Wachjudy is an Australian-Javanese-Greek artist based in Melbourne/Naarm on unceded Wurundjeri land. She works predominantly with photography, poetry, sculpture, food and installation. Her practice considers observations, thoughts and feelings surrounding memory, archives, architecture, mythology, cross-cultural experience and the spaces in which these things meet and intersect.Recent exhibitions include Mengingat 25 Tahun Reformasi with Woven Kolektif curated by Dwiki Nugroho Mukti & Savitri Sastrawan at Cemeti Institute in Yogyakarta, Indonesia; Text Tile curated by Anna Fiedler, Madeline Simm and Tia Ansell at CAVES in Melbourne, Australia; CASCADE with Woven Kolektif at Outer Space in Brisbane, Australia 2021; and in 2021 she was commissioned by West Space to present a solo exhibition for PHOTO 2021 International Festival of Photography. Mashara has exhibited extensively across Australia in spaces including Firstdraft, Bus Projects, Casula Powerhouse, Bankstown Art Centre, Outerspace, Byron School of Art, Seventh Gallery, Cement Fondu, The Honeymoon Suite and Verge Gallery as well as internationally.Mashara is a member of Woven Kolektif artist collective with Leyla Stevens, Kartika Suharto-Martin, Ida Lawrence, Kyati Suharto-Suharto, Sofiyah Ruqayah and Bridie Gillman.Woven Kolektif is a group of seven artists based along the east coast of so-called Australia and Berlin, who originally formed through shared diasporic connections to Indonesia.
