But when we zoom out and change our point of view we can see that we are part of a vast universe Kitt’s exploration of ground and floor painting allows his audience to view works from a new perspective. Images captured from high above show his massive paintings sitting amongst the tiny buildings that once seemed so tall The technological advances in observing our earth inspire Kitt to explore new and emerging ways to view his art as well as encouraging his audiences to shift their perspective of life on earth.

A Meanjin (Brisbane) based, Gunggari, illustration & digital artist. Art helps me to express myself as I often can’t find the words to do so. I like to incorporate culture into my artworks as naturally as it lies within my life. Always there, deep rooted and causing a constant current within. Emotion is what heavily inspires my artworks. A lot of strength can be channelled and learnt from emotions of pain, anger and disappointment. So much emotion can be portrayed without the need for words. My artworks are like fragmented pieces of my own emotional & mental states. Apart of me hopes my creations will empower those (especially Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander women) who can see a small part of themselves reflecting back through the artworks.

Tanya is a painter, designer, and photographer. She is inspired by the unique character of the Australian people and landscape; including the colour and sparseness of the outback, rainforests, bushland, flowers, water, beaches, built environments, and the human form. Tanya’s technique is free and rapid, which is in sync with her sometimes fast mind. This technique has developed over years of painting and experimenting. She drips, pours, flicks, sprays and smears paint onto the canvas, “which I thoroughly enjoy doing… I find it energetic and fun! I also find painting to be tiring and reflective… when I am tapping into my emotional work”.
