NAOMI BLACKLOCK

Work - Eating Heaven -Eating Heaven Custom-made cymbals and stands, digital video, 2025.

Based in Meanjin (Brisbane), Australia, whose practice navigates the intersections of embodied performance, cultural heritage, and gender identity. Working across experimental sound, performance, sculpture, and video installation, she reimagines mythologies and archetypes to challenge and reconfigure constructions of gender and culture. Her ritualised sound objects and performances amplify the body and voice through performative bodily precision and aural/oral expression, merging layered soundscapes, breathwork, and visceral screaming into sonic disruption.

Her work has been presented at major festivals and institutions including Dark Mofo (Hobart), ACCA (Melbourne), Artspace (Sydney), PICA (Perth) and the Institute of Modern Art (Brisbane). In 2019, she was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy from Queensland University of Technology for her thesis Conjuring Alterity: Refiguring the Witch and the Female Scream in Contemporary Art.

BRINKS HELM

Work - Snapshot Ghosts from the Sunshine Coast - video Partition Scans - Digital print, 2023 ongoing.

Likes to conflate disparate themes, references, and sources, to conjoin lines of force in a work in order to act as a site of convergence - where original contexts can dissolve in an emergence of alternate readings.
