ROOMSHEET
Annelies Jahn presents 5 X 9 #2.2 variation, 2017, part of an ongoing drawing project that can adapt to different spaces. Using systems and process, the work uses personal units of measure and an element of chance with similar intention to the works of Sol Le Witt. The continuous line drawing of string secured with pins, is made over a loose grid. The resulting drawing is subtle with line strength dependent on both the viewing point and changing light.
It is part of an art practice that investigates space, relationship and temporality. Exploring the agency and reception of ephemerality, contingency, everydayness and context within the processes of art making, Annelies works with a variety of media such as installation, intervention, drawing, assemblage, painting, photography and video.

Sally Clarke creates
linear wall works in pink modelling clay, her medium of choice since 2013.
Through a process of slow and recycled drawing, Clarke genders the line in
depictions of Australian ‘bush’ themes and other visual topics to critique
masculine narratives and gendered constructions of ingenuity.
At ArticulateUpstairs Clarke
presents a drawn version of her 2004 painting Dismemberments: Some Stumps
to Remember Our Great Artists By, a critique of Australian landscape painting.
It references Sigmund Freud’s castration theory and the anxiety experienced by
white occupiers when confronted by the ‘she’ of the bush.
