Daniel Sherington is a Meanjin/Brisbane based artist whose work critically reframes historical conventions of artmaking to better understand their contemporary connotations. His practice filters traditional processes of making with a digital means of production. Daniel’s works are often circulatory in nature, with images iterated, reworked and dispersed amongst new contexts and materials to adopt different meanings.

Jacquie Meng is a Hangzhou born artist working across painting, sound art and installation. Her work redefines diasporic cultural identity beyond national and geographical specificities, rather seeing it as unfixed. Through consideration of posthumanism, performativity, and the migration of objects and imagery between cultures, Jacquie breaks down binaries of ‘East’/’West’, real/imagined and human/ non-human. This often involves a fusing of Chinese mythology and folklore from her upbringing with memories, fictions and contemporary aesthetics.

Emmaline Zanelli is an artist based in Tartanya, Kaurna Country/Adelaide.

Her performances and sculptures are made specifically for the camera and examine the transformative abilities of the image. These performances often depict friends and family members in dioramas, costumes and choreographed scenarios.
