Alba Cinquini, Anne-Maree Pelusey-Zentner and Leah van Lieshout explore the relationship between their current art practices and the 30 years since graduating from ECU in the 1990s. They each define the links since graduation either in a linear and/or non-linear evolution in their art practices as well as its divergence into new and exciting streams. The artists propose the exhibition to show works which will include small to large scale paintings, installations, projections and 3D objects. It is also planned for the works to be interactive and encourage the audience to become part of the artworks as well as experience creative play.
Alba Cinquini reflects on the significance of the graduating pieces of her degree that resonate still in her artwork today. She focuses on the importance of the inter-connectivity between the viewer and the artwork/projection and as they engage with the artwork and imagery which will later become the focus of further projects.
Anne-Maree Pelusey-Zentner focuses on extending and deconstructing a body of work she completed as a student in the 1990s, with the intention of Moving away from the original concept while reusing some of the original materials. Using mostly found objects she seeks to present the form and function of the materials in an unfamiliar way.
Leah van Lieshout works with clay, wool and nature, the tactile transformational materials integral to art and art therapy practice. Handheld clay carvings evolved from student days when 20cm spheres were inscribed with birds or plants. Although dimensions have altered, the grounding meditative practice is now a joyfully shared one.
The objective of the exhibition is to survey the three artists’ works within the context of their varying media and the historical links with the artists’ undergraduate experiences.
