• Clare Longley graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Victorian College of the Arts in 2014. Primarily working with installation, textiles, painting and poetry, Longley’s work is occupied with the seductive relationships between private and public, real and fiction. With lines traced and feelings kindled, aspects of everyday befriend intimate and evocative imagery, creating an unnerving ambiguity and timidity of touch. Her work reminds us of being human and having senses, yet they are unconscious, strange, unmediated and naïve. – www.clarelongley.com

• Honey Long is a Sydney-based artist working within the mediums of photography, performance, installation and sculpture. Her work often utilises cultural objects and archetypes, reconfiguring them within fluid and dreamy contexts. Seeking to disturb reductive binaries, particularly the constructs of femininity and nature, she explores themes of desire, fear, fetishisation and procreation. The recurring sense of duality within her works seeks to highlight the dichotomy by which one might be both attracted to and repelled by objects and phenomena. – www.instagram.com/honeylong

• Isabella Connelley is a Melbourne based photographer and short film director, whose work often explores the ideals within gender and beauty. She often questions these beauty ideals and the role of females within society. She is currently working on short film series ‘Boobs Bumps Blood’ co-directed with Bethan Mooney, which explores puberty, sex and all the awkward bits in-between. – www.isabellaconnelley.com
