Yabini Kickett (Esther McDowell) is a descendant of the Kickett and Hayden families of the Bibulmun/Noongar Nation. Having grown up with an artist and poet mother, as well as a photographer and land conservationist father, her practice is heavily rooted in language, endemic plants, family, totemic relations and found objects from country. Yabini had always shown an interest in visual arts. During her childhood she and her sister Emily-Jane would often go bush with their parents in search of native orchids, naturally they have featured in much of her work, holding much personal and cultural importance to her. In late 2017 Yabini participated in the National Indigenous Arts Leadership program at the National Gallery, this experience helped foster lasting relationships and deeply encouraged her to pursue working within Visual Arts. Currently Yabini is experimenting with textiles, and found objects, with a focus on animal remains from hunting and road kill. The resulting works are often about place and the solastalgia associated with the destruction of country.
Tim Meakins is a Perth (Boorloo) based Artist and Designer. Tim is 1/2 of TERMSOFSERVICE. A collaborative design practice with NYC based designer Simran Singh. Working across sculpture, painting, print, animation and publishing, he employs a visual grammar drawn from the history (and present) of computer graphics/operating systems and cartoons to create intensely energetic propositions around the ever-mutating forms, limits, plasticity, optical register and possibilities of digital and analogue states-of-being.
