Sarah Willard Gray
From the Artist: "The conceptual approach to this body of work was to focus on the abstraction of the Southern Highland's landscape from an aerial viewpoint, while conducting a thematic investigation prompted by the Spanish word 'Duende' or 'Spirit of the earth' ...the investigation has to do with spirit, feelings, thoughts, surrounding sounds and minute detail expanded or contracted while working outside in the landscape itself and not studio based.
Some of the motifs in the paintings may suggest the long smooth organized pastures of Sutton Forest, the olive and lime green trees of Burradoo and the tiled furrows of soil at Robertson Village, ready to embrace a new potato crop. To the south is the Shoalhaven River that and to the north the Nepean River framing the diverse region that inspired this selection of paintings and monotypes."
**Corporeal Language
Emily Harris
This exhibition will be preceded by an artistic performance in the BluTac gallery (adjacent to the FCA gallery) at 11.30am on Thursday 26 October
From the Artist: "The exhibition Corporeal Language has developed through my research into Bioart and activist art. I have drawn on the tactical responses of interventionist artists who rely on pranks and humour with serious intent. I have employed conceptual and playful responses to the art/science phenomena. This approach was taken, as I desired to personalise the art/science model that on many occasions has appeared to me as factual and rigid.
To personalise the work I have humorously referenced my Dutch heritage and have utilised cheese making, as a crude biotechnological process. My choice to exclude any technological-savvy techniques was a conscience decision allowing me to further my experimentation of do-it-yourself, minimal techniques that I favour."

About the exhibit: "This interactive exhibition of photographs, sculpture, film, textiles, drawing and computer graphics, includes the artists own deconstructed alphabet and is a mixed media exploration of text and the physical manifestation of the verbal."
