Emily King

Emily is a Melbourne-based multidisciplinary artist with a focus on creating sculptural fibre art pieces. Her work explores the boundaries of aesthetics by simultaneously representing desire and disgust, the attractive and the repulsive. With her primary subject matter being manipulated female appearing bodies, Emily extends this interrogation of the feminine by using traditional women's craft and materials such as knitting, and crotchet or even using objects like stockings in her sculptures. Emily's work offers a powerful and bold exploration of feminism, consent, body image, and queerness. She graduated from a Bachelor of Fine Art Honours at the University of Newcastle in 2018 and is now studying a Masters of Arts and Cultural Management. Her work has been exhibited across Australia and overseas.

Caitlin is a fine arts graduate from the VCA where she studied painting. Bringing an incredibly unique quality to the traditional medium, Caitlin has noted that it is only through painting that she has been able to develop a sense of freedom in her creative practice. In her work she imagines generous, soft, and playful worlds that combine a child-like sense of joy and imagination with technical sophistication. Fond of the inherently sensuous nature of oil paints, she combines them with wax and chalk pastel. It is this combination of mediums that give her paintings the warmth, richness, and fairy-tale haze that make her work so enchanting. Prior to her studies at VCA, Caitlin worked as a commercial illustrator and ran an independent clothing label. Caitlin’s work has been exhibited and collected across Australia.
