2019 Artists in Residence

Loren Orsillo

Loren is a young artist who lives and works in Adelaide, having just completed a Bachelor of Art and Design (Honours) from the University of South Australia. Her paintings cross discipline boundaries into sculpture and installation, and tackle the inequivalent and disjointed measures of meanings placed on objects of small-scale, daily encounters. Combining both two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements, her visual language finds itself locked in conflict between sincerity and sarcasm. Ultimately, the resulting works meditate on the small-scale truths of our daily existence, weighing familiarity against distortion, mnemonic triggers against alienation and the new against the old.
Over the course of her degree she received several awards, including the Friends of the South Australian School of Art Prize as well as the University of South Australia Medal. She is currently undergoing the University of South Australia Vacation Research Scholarship. Loren’s most prominent Gallery representation has been in the 2018 West Gallery exhibition Approaches, and will be exhibiting in the same gallery in 2019.

Felicity Townsend

Felicity is an Adelaide-based emerging artist with an expanded practice including sculpture, installation and performance. Felicity is intrigued by points of intersection and interconnectedness, whether across disciplines (science, music, writing), identities, or personal interactions. She seeks to combine an interest in data and research with a deep attentiveness to emotion within her work, often through vulnerable explorations of personal experiences.
Felicity completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Design in 2015, majoring in sculpture at Adelaide College of the Arts. In 2016 she undertook a 3-month artist residency in the Barcelona region of Catalonia, focusing research on the architectural works of Antoni Gaudí and his treatment of light and geometry. Felicity obtained First Class Honours in Visual Arts from Flinders University in 2017 for her installation-based investigation of transformations and screening behaviours observed in thermochromic liquid crystals and human emotional responses.
Over the past year, Felicity has coordinated two major collaborative projects. Between House and Home was a dual exhibition with Mira Sulistiyanto exploring parallels across individual experiences in different cultures and countries. The second collaboration saw Felicity collaborate with post-rock duo Still They Slept to present Transposition, a live music and painting performance where she translated their sounds into abstract visual form in front of an audience.

2019 Curator in Residence

Jack McBride

Jack is a final-year student completing a Bachelor’s degree of Visual/Contemporary Art at the University of South Australia. His practice revolves around the psychological theory that humans have a universal unconscious; that ancestral archetypes have shaped our way of thinking as a whole. Concepts are built around the reactions that are expressed by individuals when exposed to a particular stimulus, focusing on the question as to whether we really do interact and react as a whole. Jack’s creative work is primarily in drawing, photography and new media, but since starting university has shifted into the areas of painting and printmaking. His real passion over the last 4 years has developed into the curatorial and museum side of the arts. As a student in his third year, Jack is exploring options that will further his dream of becoming a senior director/curator of a major Australian gallery. Jack’s passion is to help people to understand the complexities and beauty of art through exposure to artists in various practices.

2018 Artists in Residence

Jasmine Crisp

Jasmine Crisp was born in Adelaide in 1995, where she is currently based as an emerging artist practicing in the fields of painting and expanded painting. She is a recent graduate of a Bachelor of Visual Art (2016) and currently completing her BVA Honours from the Adelaide Central School of Art.

Jasmine’s recent practice focuses on using her characteristic painting language and interest in narrative portraiture to express a curiosity in the characteristics, personal histories and contemporary life’s of people within her immediate environment. Currently, her practice additionally engages with the boundaries of paint, and painting installation, which involve experimental surfaces and unconventional methods of display.

Brianna Speight

Brianna Speight is an Adelaide based artist whose practice sees a playful intersection between photography, sculpture and performance. In her recent work she re-casts surrealist tropes such as theatricality, object experimentation and the uncanny to serve a contemporary investigation into Australia’s essentialist thinking of gender and sexuality. She combines these interests to create an alluring and unsettling visual language of personal female and feminine experience.

The title of Speight’s 2017 series Soft Assemblies speaks to principal concerns of her work: malleability and performativity. This series comprises of fourteen photographs that takes a critical look at personal female and feminine participation within everyday spaces. In this work she begins to unravel every day mechanisms of language, gesture and assumption that serve patriarchal and heteronormative ideology. She aims to challenge these assumptions by creating work that speaks to the internal experiences felt that are in opposition and disagreement with restrictive ideology. This work is driven by the belief that photography has the potential to share with audiences the impacts of events, words and representations and create the possibility for new perspectives and change.

Central to her practice is a material curiosity that sees the use of domestic spaces, bed sheets, velvet and fur fabrics, plastic play balls, body paint and acrylic paint skins used to create staged photographs. The materiality of these objects offers movement, tension and act as a metaphor for the sensations felt by the human body. This kind of personal translation enables her to re-imagine and establish a sense of power in presenting the personal to the external.

Imogen is an active member of the local arts community in Adelaide and has exhibited work in both solo and group shows since beginning her career in the visual arts.

Imogen’s research and studio practice explores the human form, psychological portraiture, gender identity and contemporary femininity. Her painting practice is immersed in the process of making, inspired by a personal connection to methods of gestural and non-traditional material inquiry. Recent abstract paintings investigate the canvas surface as a projected space for the feminine body. A sense of intimacy is created as the paint is applied directly by the artist’s hand. An in-depth approach to practical and material investigation is informed by Imogen’s passion for contemporary Feminist theory. Her recent work has developed from a process of enquiry into the influence of ‘sexual difference’ on contemporary women’s abstract painting.

Emma’s work is incredibly playful and experimental. Taking inspiration from kitsch toys, the horror genre, terrifying children’s movies and the disturbing and beautiful natural world around me, Emma’s work aims to create something new and engaging that has the ability to create a sense of wonder and whimsy, while also a sense of unease within the audience.
