Material and Production of Rosalie and Tracey

Rosalie Gascoigne: Rosaile has produced a piece of artwork titled "Harlequin". There are 29 shapes that are sliced to produce 2 triangles each. One dark and one light shape. These shapes are solid and are mounted on a 105 x 103 wooden craft board. Each of the individual shapes are made from solid timber and have been hand sewn. The entire artwork was precisely worked out so that each opposing triangle would fit together very well to produce a 4 sided shape. Artwork named after a comic character with diamond-patterned costume and mask.

Tracey Moffat: Tracey produces some very unique photographs that captures situation and motion within a situation. One significant photo was taken during a movie "Night Cries: A Rural Tragedy" which was set in 1989, a 17-minute 35 mm. film. The still picture focuses on a lady leaning over a small corrugated-iron shed in defeat. Roughly 2 metres away from her lays a wheelchair, and the picture is set in an arid, yet quite moist desert. The emotion captured here conveys a "tragedy" and through this photo Tracey shows that. The physical material of this image could have been digital, or a scanned image of an existing plastic photo.
