Jasmine Crisp is a painter and muralist born and based in Adelaide, South Australia. Her characteristic yet naturalist practice features figures from her lived experiences to form localised genre paintings of the familiar and absurd. Crisps often maximalist scenes are built upon personal narratives, which are crafted in reference to past traditions of portraiture. Long established symbols within painting are presented in harmony with the familiarity of the present to form playful reimagined landscapes of the felt human experience. This unique painting language directly influences her public art practice in the form of brush painted large scale murals. She has produced multiple large scale public murals in Adelaide, SA and interstate inclusive of Brisbane Street Art, Wonderwalls and SANAA festival murals.

Working with and being mentored by Dr. Tamsin Kerr, in a one year Arts Residency at Cooroora Institute I have created portraits as the re-connection strings of knowledge have been re-kindled. Layers of research about people, families, stories, building, loss and grief have given me an understanding of the fortitude that these women of the past have needed, to survive and thrive.

Connection to place has developed alongside the growing family knowledge as well. What the Women before have done to allow for contemporary connection to places that I find myself in. Building relationships with Traditional Owners, Elders, Aunties and Uncles and listening to the teachings that have been shared. Connecting with plants and places that people have been or still are.

I’m a dedicated Artist and Architectural Technician with experience in masterplanning, documentation and 3D modelling. My cultural work sits beside my professional experience as an Architectural Technician. I have several years’ experience in the architectural industry covering a range of project types, though more recently, main focus has been large scale health projects. I am Maiawali, Karuwali and Pitta-Pitta and Gomeroi. I feel there is a much-needed importance of representing my people in the built environment and I seek opportunities that allow for awareness and the promotion of the rich culture that was/still is here, as it needs to be remembered and restored to the best of our collective ability. Im looking to combine my art, my culture and my technical expertise to deliver a unique perspective to each and every project.

YoungEarlGrey is Rhea Isaacs, an artist/illustrator from Sydney, Australia. She studied Illustration at NMIT in Melbourne before completing a degree of Fine Arts at Sydney College of the Arts with Honours in 2014, and has been published internationally, collaborated with artists all over the world and spreads her work across a music – fashion – editorial hybrid that doesn’t yet have a name but scientists hope to discover it by 2021 (editor’s note: this was written before the pandemic, and as such, it is now a creative choice to leave it as is). Her work is a mix of elements from her childhood, influences from music (anything from big band to AOR and back again), and a lifelong love affair with pop culture. Her number one heroes include Keith Haring, Eddie Van Halen (She once saw him live and cried during his Eruption/Cathedrals solo), Janet Jackson and mid-century illustrators for their tireless efforts of sticking to a CMYK palette.
