Sarah Fitzgerald is a Sydney based artist and architect, currently completing a Masters in Fine Art at the National Art School. As part of her research and practice Sarah is completing numerous, successive, site-specific wall paintings in her studio at NAS and also at external venues. For ArticulateUpstairs Sarah has conceived of a wall painting that depicts a series of mathematical and text based signs that may also be associated with other cultural signs, such as 'X' as a sign which marks the spot or as a symbol for a kiss. Fitzgerald treats these symbols as universal, so that they can be taken to mean many things at once. Her wall-painting can be read as an abstract minimal work, or a love poem, depending entirely on the viewers inclination.

Rachael Ireland is a Sydney based photographic artist preoccupied by ideas of how we imagine the places we live and travel. She uses the camera to examine the constructions, tensions and thresholds that exist within her own understanding of home and place.

Making Place presents a selection of new work developed from her experience occupying Haefliger’s Cottage as a participating artist in the Hill End Artist-In-Residence Program. 

“simultaneously an insider and outsider but embodying neither, this work captures the intermingling of being within and looking upon”
