Sophie Burgoyne

I love nature. I love encouraging creativity and play in people. I have an Advanced Diploma in Environmental Art and Design, and a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.


In my work, I aim to encourage curiosity; provoke, and entice critical thought; to question context. I like to evoke nostalgia and whimsy, preferring to be suggestive rather than directly representational. I want there to be a dialogue between the viewer and what I create.


My biggest influences include nature, Frida Kahlo, Peaches, Laura Heffernan, Andy Goldsworthy, Peter Daily, Beverley Isles, Saira Spencer, science fiction, Quentin Tarantino, Edgar Wright, self deprecating comedy, absurdist/silly comedy, Hayao Miyazaki, Vali Meyers, and Slinkachu.


The best piece of advice I've received is "Just do it ... the real failure would be to not try".

To overcome creative blocks, I play. Low to no pressure sessions were it is not outcome based. Experiment with materials, make a mess, make something ugly, make something I hate. It marinates and my brain makes connections and then I start something new.

Ozlem Kesik

I am a Turkish/Australian audio-visual installation artist working with shifting light and sound to shape thresholds of hyperreality. My practice dwells in a liminal zone where algorithms and biology entwine, tracing fragile systems of relation.


My work speaks to the instability of the present and the fragile ecological systems that bind us to one another. It aims to suggest that error, uncertainty, and interdependence are not failures but conditions of being. In this way, the installations open space for audiences to imagine alternative ways of relating and co-creating.


My biggest influences are audio-visual artists Ryoji Ikeda and 404.zero. My biggest inspiration is the phenomenal work of my collaborators and the vibrancy of our local arts collective.


I initially started working as a visual artist then transitioned over to sound and music production. As I continue to develop my practice, I’m slowly weaving these two worlds together.

My dream project would be projection mapping something extremely large.


The best piece of advice I've received is "if you mess somethinh up, just do it two more times then it becomes intentional.

I am currently building my sculptural work Yield using the baling twine seen in the photo below. My work is intended to comment on environmental consequences due to agriculture expansion and the increased use of chemicals.
