2004 GRADUATING STUDENT CATALOGUE
ANU School of Art

Director’s Foreword
green:2004 graduating students exhibition is a celebration. It marks
the culmination of studies by candidates for the Bachelor of Arts (Visual) with Honours;
Bachelor of Arts (Visual); combined degrees and the Diploma of Art at the Australian National
University School of Art. The achievements are of students who have come to the Australian
National University from the local region, elsewhere in Australia and from overseas.
Courses at the ANU School of Art offer in-depth studies in a variety of visual arts and crafts
disciplines in a stimulating tertiary environment and in well equipped workshops. Students
have the opportunity to combine degrees, can participate in field studies, computer studies,
artist books, papermaking and applied design, which complement and enhance their studio and
art theory programs. All our lecturers are professional artists and craftspeople. They are great
assets to the School and the University and the students benefit greatly from their experience
and expertise. The Schoolʼs active Visiting Artists Program complements the teaching staff
and the lively student exchange program offers new experiences to those who study overseas
as well as bringing students from all over the world to our campus.
green:2004 graduating students exhibition is a large scale exhibition
presented in the ANU School of Art Gallery, Foyer Gallery, Photospace and in Workshop
spaces throughout the School. The ANU School of Art Gallery shows a single work by each
student produced in their final year of study. Further works can be seen in Workshop exhibitions
around the school, to which the public is welcomed.
Every December we join our graduating students to celebrate their accomplishments. It is an
exciting time of year when months of preparation culminate in the succesful production of
this full colour catalogue and grand scale exhibition.

The ANU School of Art thanks Patsy Hely, Honours Co-ordinator; Anita McIntyre, Visiting
Fellow and Student Academic Advisor; and the academic staff and technical officers from all
Workshops, all of whom have worked with the School of Art Gallery staff Bronwen Sandland,
James Holland and Julie Cuerden-Clifford, to make green:2004 graduating
students exhibition a great success.
Patrons of our Emerging Artists Support Scheme (EASS) continue to support our graduating
students as they start their professional careers. We gratefully acknowledge and thank
our many EASS Patrons for their dedication and enthusiasm for this program, this year
co-ordinated by Waratah Lahy.
Finally, congratulations to the graduates of 2004, on their impressive achievements. I
commend their work to audiences now and in the future. The ANU School of Art staff and
students wish all the graduates successful and productive careers and invite them to remain
an active part of the ANU through our national and international Alumni networks.

EASS
Emerging Artist Support Scheme
The Australian National University School of Artʼs successful Emerging Artists Support
Scheme (EASS) has been operating for the past fifteen years. Many of our patrons such
as Mallesons Stephen Jaques, NECG, KPMG and the Australian National University have
supported ANU School of Art graduates throughout this period. We are always pleased to
welcome new and continuing patrons to the 2004 EASS program. Through this scheme
patrons can sponsor awards, scholarships, prizes and commissions, can acquire art for their
own collection or borrow works through the EASS Loan Scheme.
The ANU School of Art and its graduates greatly appreciate this support from the ACT
community. Such generous sponsorship from local business and arts organisations
represents assistance for graduating artists at a time when it is most valuable; at the
commencement of their independent studio practice. The scheme also plays a significant
role in encouraging emerging practitioners to remain in the region. In this regard the
residencies and exhibition opportunities offered by Megalo Access Arts Inc., PhotoAccess,
Strathnairn Arts Association, Canberra Contemporary Art Space, Craft ACT, M16, The
Hive, Belconnen Arts Centre, Tuggeranong Community Arts Centre, Canberra Grammar,
Hawker College and the Potterʼs Society are particularly valuable.
The ANU School of Art Emerging Artist Support Scheme continues to provide much needed
support for artists as they graduate, establish an independent practice and contribute to
the lively and growing visual arts community from which we all benefit. The Australian
National University School of Art expresses appreciation and thanks to all EASS Patrons
and this yearʼs EASS Coordinator, Waratah Lahy.

Paul Dumetz
Bachelor of Arts (Visual)
My work aims not only to reflect sheer beauty, but also to reflect my passion for both drawing and
ceramics. Animals are important for my art because they symbolize all the important aspects for my
work – beauty, character, expression, power, nature and purity.

are created to fulfill the functional and spiritual needs of peoples of the Torres Strait.

With my work I have expressed my deep feelings for the Kimberley’s where I have lived for over 12 years.
The Boab tree represents a great strength with it’s shape, toughness and beauty. The aeroplanes are
big part of my life. I have expressed my feelings for nature and machines in these images.

I have begun an adventure to last a lifetime, an exploration of the interaction between clay and soda
vapour. One exciting discovery has been the formation of a beautiful glass drop.

Maryke Henderson
Bachelor of Arts (Visual)
I like to think of my work in terms of presentation, rather than representation. These works involve
the space around and therefore the person who may happen to be in that space, building a relationship
between themselves and the vessel. I wonder if the everyday use of these vessels in the home, may
change them and the moment into something more, that they have the potential to take on their own
identity, uniting as one, form, function, surface and substance and interacting with the user by asking
to be used. These are thrown pieces, cut and manipulated to form the handle while the clay is still
plastic and joined to the base.

This work is about an investigation and research into the technique of colour clay lamination and
shellac resist on the surface of porcelain and creating an image that takes viewers beyond the confines
of the form.

Ben Kendon
Diploma of Art
My inspiration originates from colour, light and pattern, as seen in landscape both terrestrial and
celestial. My ceramic focus in 2004 has been an exploration of this theme, through the application of
glazes suited to reduction firing to wheel thrown forms.

Diploma of Art
Eternity. In my belief, only God is eternally existent. And, seeking eternity is indeed in the heart
of everyone. Expressing eternity is a strong passion that leads the whole journey of my works. It is
not just a physical journey but also a spiritual one. One may discover meaning through the unseen
mystery.

nature does not.

These forms are the tangible expression of the relationship between trees and man. How we are both made
up of layers of texture and colour. We each carry scars and need to bend and twist with our experiences.
Our survival is interdependent upon each other. If the essence of the tree is lost, will we be lost?

Robyn Whitworth
Diploma of Art
While walking through the landscape I absorb sights, sounds and smells and I feel trees, plants,
rocks, soil, snow and sand - the textures of nature. These are my inspiration. As in nature no two
are the same, each is shaped by the clay, the tool, my mood, and how they are fired.

My work is an exploration into the combination of portraiture and traditional blown glass techniques. I
use the individual vessel as a container of memory and the repetition of these vessels as an expression
of personal identity.

Megan Bottari
Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Honours
As a writer-turned-visual-artist it is hardly surprising that my creative bent should
remain firmly rooted in narrative. My Honours work, ostensibly about the Ned Kelly story,
delved into the socio-historic in order to investigate the psychological landscape that yet
gives warp to our enduringly rebellious national character. Capturing a graphic sense of
arrested violence, the gunshot landscape alludes to the mountainous terrain of the Wombat/
Strathbogie Ranges from whence Ned and the boys were calamitously propelled irrevocably
into outlawry following the police ‘massacre’ at Stringybark Creek.

The past is never dead. It’s not even past.
William Faulkner, As eve said to the serpent; Georgia: University of Georgia Press, 2001, p.192.
The past dwells as a ‘stain’ under the skin. The body is the vehicle of the mind, and the mind is
the canvas of the body. The interplay between the physical realm and the psychological realm is the
fundamental theme of my work.

When Seeing the Echoes in a Forest 2004, glass, dimensions variable.
Gabrielle Heywood
Bachelor of Arts (Visual) Honours
This work looks at rural landscapes, human habitation and the disappearing remnants of the natural
world. My work reflects both a sense of being in this landscape and the observations of the rapid
depletion of surrounding natural entities in favour of the remodelled, the constructed and the built
environment.

Cyber culture has been the guiding influence in my work exploring the concept of customisation and

A water vessel is designed to hold liquid. I have taken the approach to my work that the vessel should
reflect that which it is holding, embracing the fluidic nature of the substance, like a droplet falling

Images of Angels, is an exploration of angelic moments, the positive moments in every day life. I have

spirit may preside.

Painting on the one hand brings you back to physical reality … the thick oil paint, the bidimensionality
of the surface … But at the same time the imagery refers to other things. The memory of something ….
They do deal with physical reality and illusion simultaneously.

Mind and body become indivisible in beauty. Beauty teaches me that my brain is a physical organ and
that ‘intelligence’ is not limited to thought, but entails feeling and sensation, the whole organism
in concert. Centrally involved is a subtle activity of hormonal excitation in or about the heart – as
between man and woman.

No matter what kind of childhood you have, there’s a feeling of sensing more than just what your able to see in
front of you. A lot of information comes to us, not just in the form of words or pictures. That’s one of the things
I remember about being young.

Bachelor of Arts (Visual)
My paintings may be termed landscapes, yet my interest is ultimately in the human condition. In my
latest works I have taken the suburban environment as a subject through which to convey mood, with
depictions of house and garden or suburban parkland expressive of an unexpected psychological state

The bushfires of January 2003 devastated the native forests in the ACT but the regeneration that
has occurred since has been remarkable, especially as we are still in drought. That re-growth
has been the inspiration for this series of paintings.

between 2D and 3D. I enjoy images that have a strong optical energy, so I strive to create this in my

The subject of my work is located within the domestic environment of the home. The recent work I have
produced explores paradoxes that are a part of what I have labelled the Adult Life of Comfort and Comfort
of Home, which in the context of the domestic environment of the home aims to explore the emotions of
detachment and distance and ultimately psychological discomfort.
Photographer Du Bois is quoted in an essay that appeared in a text entitled Pleasures and Terrors of
Domestic Comfort, and comments on a similar theme of distance and detachment in the context of his own
family: In my most intimate photographs there is a detachment that speaks of my isolation. I no longer
see my family as an assured source of comfort but as part of the confusion of my adult life. In the
conflict between intimacy and detachment, I feel the loss of my childhood family.

to the finished product. This is also a statement of what we should do with such a valuable resource
