Remy Faint is an emerging artist completing his Honours year at UNSW Art, Design and Architecture. His practice based on Gadigal land, Sydney, utilises global art historical sources, exploring abstraction as a tool for material investigations. By experimenting with both traditional and unconventional mediums, Faint's inquiry into indexical mark-making aims to highlight artistic processes within the production of works. Often using the material ground as a gestural device, discrepancies between the intentional or incidental, aiming to position the viewer as embodied. By working with multiple materials and surfaces simultaneously within the studio, Faint's practice becomes an act of assembling, repurposing and combining elements, culminating as re-contextualised objects.

Elizabeth Lewis is an artist based in Sydney, Australia. She is a recent graduate of Fine Arts with Honours from UNSW Art + Design.
She works in expanded ceramics; made up predominantly of ceramics and painting that meet through collage and sculpture. Textural anomalies form the basis of her work across these mediums. She is particularly interested in how composting past work and collage can inform other practices materially, explored through unlikely meetings of design in her ceramic vessels. These come to form sugary works that aim to evoke curiosity in tactility and the happiness expressive imperfection.
Elizabeth was a finalist in both the Lloyd Rees Memorial Youth Art Award and Tim Olsen Drawing Prize in 2020, has featured in group exhibitions at Gaffa Gallery and Kerrie Lowe, and took part in The Other Art Fair in 2021. Later this year she will be part of the 1000 Vases Milan exhibition.

Annie Areum Shin is an emerging Korean-Australian artist based on Darug Country, Sydney. Her practice employs an ‘art for my sake’ approach to elucidate psychological processes and frameworks underlying one’s aesthetical choices and mental state. Through artmaking, she turns to queries of angst and internalisations, implications of applied psychology and fragments of the self that were birthed from them. Shin investigates abstraction, materiality and collage across painting, sculpture and installation to mimic her mental space and the dialogues that unfold within. The participatory and interactive domains of her recent works reflect her interest in sharing these self-discoveries with the public.
