Gillian ADAMSON | Resident Artist — One week until ‘Periphery’ is on show at @straitjacket_artspace! OPENING/MEET THE ARTIST Saturday 14 October, 11am – 5pm @ Straitjacket Art Space An exploration of the artist’s childhood memories of people and their homes.  Adamson’s works are reflective of the times and spaces belonging to others, combined with her own experiences. At times her works feel like an intrusion into the most intimate parts of a person’s life, but also an exploration of something universal. Often melancholic, her works traverse the longing for not only an era that reminds her of her grandparents and personal loss, but for something we may have lost from that era. In the midst of the havoc in the world, the scenes Adamson depicts are a reminder of a life that was not extraordinary, but rather a simple life, a well lived life.

Brontë Naylor's practice, deeply rooted in expanded collage, ingeniously combines painting, photography, performance, social engagement, and digital media. Her work is a poignant dialogue between the intimate confines of her studio and the sprawling canvas of the Antipodean public sphere, challenging established hierarchies and resource allocation.

Evie Core | HIC_ARA recipient 2023. Evie in her studio developing a body of work for her end of residency solo exhibition at TCI in March 2024. The HIC Services Artist Residency Award is made possible from the support of @hic_services @janbynon Evie Core (b.1992) grew up in the rural town of Glen Innes, before moving to Sydney to further develop her practice, completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons) at The National Art School (NAS) Majoring in ceramics. As of 2020, Evie now lives and works in Newcastle. Driven by the natural world and our connection to it. Evie's practice follows a tactile investigation into the processes of growth and decay present in the environment, exploring the binary of permanence and impermanence through the materiality of clay and its many possibilities as a medium, both fired and raw. Core's work combines a mix of meditative spiritual enquiry, symbolic representation of the landscape and exploration into the fundamental relationship between humans and the earth. Reflecting on nature as a source of strength and inspiration for internal dialogue. Spiritual affinity with the material is balanced by the bodily act of building, resulting in an interplay of personal experience, subjectivity, and response; These ideas remain central to Evie's ongoing practice and creative identity. @ecoreart ___ #EvieCore #TheCreatorIncubator #HIC_ARA #hicservices #artnewcastle #newcastleartist
