3000 feet - Anton Felix Blume
As a documentary photographer I observe a wide range of human society and nature related subject matter, approached holistically down to the finest details. In contrast, my art practice as a designer & fine-art photographer allows me to interpret & express those observations. These intrests paired with a background in Communication Design form the base of my work in which exploration ofthe differences and commonalities between Art & Design take place.

I acknowledge the first people of this Country - I pay my respects to the Elders past and present, for they hold the stories and history of this Country. It is a privilege to be here as an Indigenous Artist.
As a contemporary Aboriginal artist what really grabs me is how the water is captured, and the land, and…

Glass Artist - Sabrina Dowling Giudici
Sabrina is an Italo-Australian artisan who has been creatively telling the stories of the Gascoyne Region since 1993, and particularly of the Gascoyne River since 2013. A Social Justice Geographer, her professional work as a Regional Development practitioner has focussed on the settlements and land and sea environments of the Gascoyne Region in Western Australia. It is an emotional and logical connection to this area that is her lived experience. Growing up between mostly Carnarvon and Rome (her birthplace), Sabrina finally chose to make the North West of WA her home.

Bonni Ingram is the 2017 - 2020 Artist in Residence at the Carnarvon Aartlab.
Bonni created the artwork for a range of works produced by Sabrina Dowling Giudici, on various fabrics in linen, silk and organic cotton. New creations include her emu egg series and silk works for fashion and interior design. Bonni introduced her newly developed motif called ‘flying over country’. This innovative motif has been produced across her entire range of artwork fabrics.
“ My preference is to move colours on a huge scale. It is the optimal expression of my work because it’s the only way I myself can bring out the meaning for my audiences - pushing my expression to the limits; challenging the viewer to enter deeper appreciation of the meaning of my Country - a cultural gift to be shared; luring them through the boldness of colour and scale - these are intertwined and essential together.”

Dolor, Spes, Sanatio, Redemptio
This triptych is an ecclesial artwork that is the entrance statement in the foyer of the new Geraldton museum dedicated to the life and significant works of Monsignor John Cyril Hawes (1876-1956).
The artwork is informed by four inter-related themes - sorrow which begets hope, begets healing, begets redemption. Hawes architectural expression of sorrow was instructive to our approach; in the Geraldton Cathedral’s Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows, he seemed to respond deeply to the…

Ocean Flowering
Our goal was to create artwork celebrating Country that revealed itself over a series of panels. Weaving through our contemporary approach is the cultural authority of Aboriginal understandings of nature and Country as found in the land and seascapes of Yamatji people.
The artwork is informed by ideas of health and wellbeing together with belonging, …

Ethics Reset
Online shopping is convenient and an established norm.
The ethos of Aartworks is to create beautiful objects that honour where we live.
Fundamental to a sense of place, is relationships. Online shopping has a disembodied aspect to it so it is a guiding principle of Aartworks to facilitate the opportunity to ‘relate’ in person, even if briefly. Prospective art owners have the opportunity to discuss any aspects of their interest in the artists or art objects from the range of Aartworks collections. You are welcome to reach out…
