Valency: Combining creative processes

Profiles

Avi Amesbury: Artist: The science of politics is a slippery and contested area, in which the practices of law are ultimately expressed in legislation, which is documented for the public record.
Anna Gianakis: Artist: Displaying calculated precision, porcelain installations by Gianakis reference a classical, geometric and mathematically informed aesthetic in which proportion and the co-relationship of positive and negative space is privileged.
Jacqueline Gropp: Artist: Using forms like the beaker, thistle flask, test tube, Y piece and pipette in combination with transparent scientific glass Gropp suggests the paradigm of scientific inquiry.
Luke Laffan: Artist: Beauty is today a valid and sought after form of social capital, but Luffan challenges the viewer to interrogate their own responses to physical appearance.
Barbara McConchie: Curator: Your humble curator is Barbara McConchie: Arbiter elegantiarum, philosophic euphemist, artist, printmaker, and writer. A Canberra native, the Master of Philosophy holds a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts from ANU.
Ann McMahon: Arts Writer: Ann McMahon first began writing about the relationship between art and science in 1999.
Bronwen Sandland: Artist: When one is confronted by life and death, particularly when someone close is affected, ethical choice in relation to medical testing on animals becomes a far more complicated issue.
Ken Yonetani: Artist: Conflicting human desires to protect and to destroy are invoked by Yonetani. In 2004, audiences visiting his solo exhibition Fumi Tiles faced a dilemma.
