Wallis Cheung makes paintings at the intersection of sculpture and collage. Her 3-dimensional work questions the limits of pictorial space, intervening physically with the room.

Michelle Foran transforms found objects, such as industrial steel, plastics and piping, into materials with vibrant colour, texture and painterly composition. Her abstract immersive environment, “Half a Grapefruit is a Full Circle,” was recently displayed at Birch Contemporary.

Heavily influenced by her surroundings, Emily Harrison’s practice examines everyday materiality, consumer culture and tropes of the artist studio. Her humorous, site-specific installations have been apart of festivals with the Bata Shoe Museum, Strangewaves and Camp Wavelength.
