Contemporary art isn’t about medium specific rules, adv ised the artist to the writer when interviewed. Nithiyendran’s practice embodies the unconventional, layered, meta-modern nuances of the contemporary artworld. His flamboyant, approachable, generous nature as an artist informs his layered, exuberant, diverse approach to artmaking. As seen in this photograph, the artist sits in his studio in front of his kilns amongst a kaleidoscope of his work. The lines between artist and artwork are visually blurred - the familial connections evident and where the artist is present in all the wildly expressive, colourful, funny and imaginative forms he creates and embodies.

Ceramics is a medium particularly suited to memorialising the intimacies of the everyday. Sassy Park's work plays with accepted traditions and conventions within art to express notions of vulnerability and fragility. Her figures painted with slips and underglazes provoke empathy from audiences, drawing them to look more closely and engage with the object. Using scale and humour, and often exploring the forgotten or overlooked, Park's figures reflect equally on questions of history and its representation as well as the small moments of life.

Blak Douglas, born Adam Douglas Hill in Blacktown (1970), Western Sydney to a Dhungatti Father and Caucasian Mother, is an artist well-attuned to the power of language, of words, as well as images1. He adopted the professional name Blak Douglas to reflect the two halves of his genealogy. Douglas uses his artistic identity to reclaim and self-identify; “Douglas being my middle name whilst my “ness'' is primarily BLAK. ‘Blakness’ here is all about who is actually calling the pot ‘black’, or defining ‘blackness’: the people who live it, or those who prefer to think about it by degrees of ‘authenticity’ or through rosecoloured Primitivist glasses.”
