As a featured artist for New Light 2023, with ANAT. I had the pleasure to submit my work to be showcased on Google Arts and Culture Website.
Pictured to the left is a snippet of my feature on the site.
As a graduating Student of Design in 2022 from QUT, I was invited to talk about my experience of studyng and my capstone project Echoes.
My Work 'Echoes' was the featured art animation on the main screen for New Light 2023, the program which I was involved in with ANAT.
This page helped direct people visiting for Illuminate Adelaide to my work for a Free Screening.
As a graduate of Visual Communication from the QUT School of Design in 2022, I was honoured to be featured amongst my peers as a Peoples Choice Award Winner. This website features my capstone project, Echoes.
I am particularly proud of this website as my work for this unit has followed me into my professional career and taken me to many amazing places. I will continue to create and develop iterations of this work as the years progress.
Presented by Illuminate Adelaide and ANAT, NEW LIGHT 2023 showcased experimental and diverse moving image works by contemporary First Nations artists.
Following a national call out, NEW LIGHT 2023 featured commissioned work exploring compelling and complex concepts, with artworks being exhibited on the media screens at the entrance to Adelaide Festival Centre as part of Illuminate Adelaide’s City Lights program.
"Government House will also open its gates for the duration of City Lights for a special premiere work titled Into The Light, projected onto the building's iconic facade and highlighting a selection of South Australia's most innovative women, while New Light - a collaboration between Australian Network for Art and Technology and Adelaide Festival Centre's Moving Image Program-returns to King William Road with original works from rising First Nations creatives Chantel Bates, Elizabeth Close and Jonathon Saunders."
My involvement with Illuminate Adelaide was a time to remember. I am proud to have been able to visit and have my work featured for such an event!
"Chantel Bates, Elizabeth Close and Jonathon Saunders are the artists selected for NEW LIGHT 2023, presented by Illuminate Adelaide and ANAT (Australian Network for Art and Technology). The new commissions showcase experimental and diverse moving image works by contemporary First Nations artists. Bates’ Echoes draws on commonly shared experiences of Indigenous people in Australia and focuses on the artist’s intrinsic relationship with land and Country. Close’s Beneath is an extension of her large-scale public arts practice built on increasing the visibility of Aboriginal arts and culture. One Minute to Midnight by Saunders spotlights Indigenous superhero Zero-Point, creating the change on mainstream screens that he wishes to see. These works will be exhibited on the media screens at the entrance to Adelaide Festival Centre as part of Illuminate Adelaide’s City Lights program. "
