FROM THE STUDENTS Year 12 Visual Art

HOUSE ON FIRE ELIZA HORSLEY (12G) Paper, lights, Perspex Dimensions variable

In response to the Unit Concept, Art as Alternate, I hope to share my deeply personal experiences—that of my grandparents’ home, memories of my five siblings—with audiences. I hope House on Fire’s small scale invites the audience to look closely, and the soundscape’s familiar voices evoke forgotten memories.

SACCHARINE SUPPLEMENT ESTHER MCDADE (12H) Shopping trolley, shopping products, receipts, air-dry clay, acrylic paint, lights, audio 92 x 57 x 96 cm This work explores humans’ futile obsession with consuming. The shopping trolley creates a world where the rats are held captive, like human consumers. Unsettling audio prompts viewers to question: am I no different from what I see before me?
