Things I Don’t Think About at 3 AM
Shellie Tonkin
Shellie Tonkin continues her study of the interior mechanics of the sub-conscious in ’Things I don’t think about at 3 AM’ a vivid and sometimes chaotic description of insomnia. While sleep has never been her superpower, her most recent battle with sleeplessness lasted an epic three years before vanishing as quickly as it came.
The subjects under scrutiny range from the global to the truly personal, from the catholic church’s innate contempt of women to the bleakness of grief; mirroring the randomness of thought when her sub-conscious was free to wander at will through thoughts and memories. Utilising vibrant colour and attention to detail, Tonkin has produced work that is painterly and dramatic, a nod to the old masters of art via the thoroughly modern medium of digital photography.

Lindesay Dresdon
My artwork celebrates the infinite ways in which ideas and materials can be transformed into vibrant, expressive visual statements.
Line - Shape - Colour - Composition.
The interplay of improvised gestures, and the creation of surface textures are key elements in my painting, printmaking, mixed-media, and collage explorations.
