Bright colours and patterns, coral-like and succulent-plant forms and toadstool shapes describe her depictions of dreamt-up specimens that evoke the natural world. Möller’s ‘fantasy specimens’ demonstrate the way in which her science background and art practice have steadily converged. After training as a biologist in Germany, Möller migrated to Australia in 1986. She later completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts and a PhD at Monash University. Her work has been exhibited in the USA, Japan, Finland, France, Germany and the UK, as well as throughout Australia.Lisa WaupLisa Waup is an award winning Gunditjmara and Torres Strait Islander artist and curator based in Melbourne. Over her career she has developed an artistic practice which spans weaving, printmaking and sculpture, working across media to create woven forms, body adornment and vessels imbued with layers of history and story.In 2017 she was a finalist in Craft Award and her ongoing collaboration with the fashion label VERNER were featured at 2017 Melbourne Fashion Week. Waup has exhibited at ACCA, NGV, Fremantle Art Centre, Art Gallery of South Australia and ReDot Gallery, Singapore. James GeurtsBased in Melbourne, James Geurts completed a Masters of Arts RMIT 2009 and Post Graduate research at GEMAK Institute The Hague Netherlands 2011. Geurts&#x27; conceptually driven practice works across sculpture, site-action, drawing, installation, photography, video, public artworks and earth-scale projects. Through site-responsive works and studio research, Geurts typically focuses on the way that cultural and natural forces intersect to shape both landscape and perception. His site-actions often include modifying analogue and digital methods to emulate conditions of the site. His recent projects explore the diversion of river agency, study the seismic, combine the primordial with the technological and investigate concepts of time.
