Celebrating Excellence: ECU Graduates join the AIR Program 2024

We are thrilled to congratulate two outstanding graduates of the Bachelor of Visual Arts at Edith Cowan University: Chenoa Thrupp-Probst and Susan Hoy and welcome them to the Inglewood Arts Hub Artist-In-Residence Program for 2024!

Chenoa and Susan have displayed notable artistic abilities. Their unique perspectives and creative endeavours during their academic pursuits at ECU have set them apart.

This residency is an incredible opportunity for all of us to learn from each other and grow collectively. The Inglewood Arts Hub continues to foster an environment where artists can flourish and contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary art. We look forward to witnessing the outcomes of their residency.

Chenoa on her project: "EmpowerHER"

This triptych of figurative acrylic paintings explores the introspective ideas and ideals about our bodies. Created to challenge ingrained societal misogyny, this series is a celebration. An unapologetic celebration of self. A celebration of the human body. I hope that everyone no matter what age, gender or race can relate to these works.

Susan about her project: "No Horizon"

I invite the viewer to immerse themselves in my installation. Ocean or land? Past, present, or future? The layered impressions created on paper from found specimens capture a moment in a brief life and are reminiscent of fossils. Imagine the existing layers beneath us created through deep time, and those yet to come, when species of land and sea will merge and part again, in an immense and continuous shifting.
