About the Artists
Tom Buckland deals in a correspondence of imaginary worlds, narrative and storytelling is a key component in his sculpture and performance works. He is a voracious bricolagist and collector of found objects with which he creates work that is emphatically process-orientated, proudly displaying a unique DIY spirit. Buckland also plays with audience interaction demolishing the invisible barrier between onlooker and artwork. Buckland graduated from the Australian National University School of Art with honours in 2015 and has exhibited widely since.
Julia Higgs is a multidisciplinary artist, whose practice centres around performance art, drawing and performative drawing. For more than a decade, Higgs has worked across a range of media including sculpture, drawing, printmaking and installation, gaining multidisciplinary skills through completion of a Master of Visual Arts and undertaking artistic residencies locally and internationally. Higgs has exhibited widely in multiple solo and group exhibitions, facilitated workshops, created public performance works, and been part of festival and grant opportunities creating new work and engaging local communities. Higgs deploys both traditional and contemporary drawing techniques and processes that incorporate the body, printmaking and drawing, and continues to expand her practice through working in different environments while creating networks and collaborating. Performative drawing is a newer form of art expression that Higgs completely immersed herself in as Artist in Residence at 2019 Draw to Perform in the United Kingdom. Performative drawing involves engaging with situation, gesture, the body and movement – using action to create a final result through a temporal live event – and is concerned with process in order to create new dynamics through drawing.
