Alana BROCCARDOYear 11, Ayr State High School

Fashion in the Street [detail] 2015 Ink, black pen, and oil pastel61 x 86cm

The theme of this work is based on ‘street art meets street fashion’. I was inspired by the many different aspects of street activity. This artwork represents how fashion in the streets is becoming increasingly diverse due to lifestyles and changes in society.

Meg BLAKEYYear 12, Ayr State High School

The Elements of Fashion [detail] 2015 Found objects to produce wearable art piecesVarious sizes

The artwork The Elements of Fashion represents my interest in fashion and travel and relates to the concept of self-identity and modelling. Through the use of combining natural fibres, plastics, paper and metal the idea of fashion impacting on all aspects of society is displayed.

Kristen BROCCARDOYear 11, Ayr State High School

Movement [detail] 2015Ink and black pen57 x 96cm

Movement is based on the theme ‘ocean’ and the concept of the relationship between jellyfish and time. Time is represented by the jellyfish which in turn is symbolic of time as it never stops moving.

Mae-Louise BROCKYear 12, Ayr State High School

Nature’s Edge [detail] 2015 Found objects and mixed media 150 x 150cm

Spending a lot of my childhood in the bush and growing up out west has taught me to appreciate the land and life associated with outback Australia. It defines me and has influenced and shaped who I am today. Each section of my artwork encompasses neighbouring properties. All pieces fit together into a natural metaphorical view of my home, Nature’s Edge.

Sinead DEAN-DALLECORT Year 12, Ayr State High School

D-Construction [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas/balsawood Various sizes

Dance has been an integral part of my life for the past 10 years. I have chosen to appropriate imagery from the artist Allen Jones to highlight the mental strain dancers go through. The fan of bones and skeleton represent my knee injury and the toll it takes on bone structure. The black-pointed shoes represent the negative qualities of ballet and finishing dancing.

Tiana DE ZOLT Year 11, Ayr State High School

Mechanics, Muscle and More [detail] 2015 Black pen, ink on watercolour paper140 x 85cm

In today’s day and age, society can seem like a force against freedom. Society has created an idea of the ideal person. If everyone followed this stereotypical guideline then we would be exactly the same like mechanically engineered robots. This artwork is about breaking away from the social conformity and becoming your own person.

Mikayla GIDDYYear 11, Ayr State High School

Change Over Time [detail] 2015 Ink on card, watercolour and paint-pen 39 x 110cm

This landscape is based on the idea of change in nature. It is an expression of how the world has dramatically changed over the years. On one side it is bright, colourful and there is growth but as your eye moves along you can see the colour of the water darken, pollution in the sky and lack of vegetation.

Blaise HERON Year 11, Ayr State High School

Change [detail] 2015 Pen and ink on watercolour paper46 x 91cm

I have been inspired by the concept of imbalance and thoughts about dysfunctions in the world. This work involves the relationship between humans and nature and how we have impacted the environment. The surreal flow of smoke seamlessly drifts from image to image, extracting the life of each character with every encounter.

Tayla HEUIRYear 12, Ayr State High School

Hanging on… by a Thread [detail] 2015 Mixed media50 x 70cm

Hanging on… by a Thread displays the idea of the symbolic reference of my life at school and hanging on by a thread. The stress and chaos of school has impacted on my mind as it sends it into ‘overdrive’. In contrast this portrait also reflects my calm nature that conceals my true thoughts and feelings.

Alana KHOORYYear 11, Ayr State High School

The Good and The Bad [detail] 2015 Ink and black pen53 x 95cm

This pen and ink work demonstrates nature and the good and the bad sides of everything in life. The tree symbolises the tree of life. The owl symbolises knowledge or wisdom and the snake represents evil.

Emma LYONSYear 11, Ayr State High School

Growth and Life [detail] 2015 Ink and black pen on paper 42 x 138cm

This work represents the circle of life and is inspired by nature and the idea of connectedness. A metamorphosis is revealed with shapes that transform into people and then into roses. The coloured ink creates the effect of movement and helps to communicate that everything in nature evolves as a result of something else.

SoF I a PalombiYear 12, Ayr State High School

Pushing the Limits [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas100 x 100cm

I have had many opportunities to do things that I enjoy. My life hasn’t been easy but in comparison to others it has. This work explores the life of a quadriplegic called Kurt Fearnley. The circular vortex represents the spinning, sometimes uncontrollable, wheels of life, and symbolises how life in a wheel chair is a challenge.

Renee REHBEINYear 11, Ayr State High School

Inside Out [detail] 2015 Ink and black pen57 x 44cm

Inside Out shows straight, curved and spiral lines and shapes represented by thick outlines and some finer details. These detailed lines produce a hypnotising effect for the audience because of the direction they are drawn and how they stop in the middle of certain areas.

Samantha WHITTRED Year 11, Ayr State High School

Invisible Change [detail] 2015 Pen and ink on paper44 x 57cm

The plants have been drawn to appear transparent to express how the inevitability of change is invisible. The outlines link together to illustrate that the processes of transformation are ongoing and never ending.

Sarah DAVISONYear 11, Calvary Christian College

In the Dark [detail] 2015 Acrylic paint and mixed media on canvas50 x 40cm

The Native American Owl represents the beauty of a dream as well as the monstrous images that can be created in a nightmare. American Indians believed that the dream catcher would only allow positive dreams to enter the world and would capture the negative ones.

Chade RAMAGEYear 11, Calvary Christian College

Embracing Our Roots [detail] 2015 Sculpture 33 x 22 x 36cm

A paper tree bursting forth through the pages of an open book, redeeming itself against its capture, as it stands liberated in the centre of the pages. The tree signifies the books past; its heritage. The once mighty tree cut down to house the thoughts and dreams of various authors.

Regina SARUNNYear 11, Calvary Christian College

Girl from China [detail] 2015 Acrylic paint on canvas60 x 50cm

I am fascinated with the culture of China and have used colours and icons that symbolise this beautiful country. The Chinese girl is wearing a qipao which is a traditional Chinese shirt. It is red and yellow to resemble the colours of the Chinese flag.

Mardy TRITTON Year 12, Calvary Christian College

The Chain of Evil [detail] 2015 Acrylic paint and mixed media on canvas90 x 60cm

This painting depicts the link between evil and pain. The background of the flame consists of a collage of newspaper articles communicating the evil in today’s society. Flames are symbolic of destruction and reflect stories that we hear about pain and suffering that is being experienced by many individuals.

Ebony CREIGHTONYear 12, Columba Catholic College

FallOut Fire and Rainbow Insanity [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas (diptych)46 x 35.7cm each

This diptych is based on the concept of ‘go figure’. FallOut Fire is based on a character that is an alter ego of me. Rainbow Insanity is based on a character that I created as an alter ego of my friend. It shows her bubbly side, even though she has a disease that could possibly end her life.

Jamie-Lee COWARDYear 11, Columba Catholic College

Her face [detail] 2015 Photograph on paper26 x 35cm

This image was created using an iPhone, experimenting with shutter speeds and editing tools. I experimented with throwing flour and coloured ground chalk at different angles at the subject and with light to create contrast and movement.

Emmanuel KOWASYear 12, Columba Catholic College

My alter ego mask [detail] 2015 Mixed media, wire and stone base21 x 22 x 38cm

This mask represents integration and multiculturalism. When I began to integrate into the Australian way of life I almost lost my natural identity. This mask looks incomplete and the mouth is wired shut because I do not think I have fully developed my character and my new identity yet.

Chloe SETCH Year 12, Columba Catholic College

Strength and freedom mask [detail] 2015 Mixed media, wire and stone base17 x 36 x 77cm

The meaning behind this mask is strength and freedom and is a message of hope that one day all young people will be able to express the strength that lies within them and the freedom to openly develop their true personality.

Paige BrownleeYear 11, Heatley Secondary College

Caught [detail] 2015 Watercolour and ink on paper70 x 50cm

This piece is about the transition between being free and captured, both physically and mentally. The bird in the cage is restricted and caught, whereas the wings around this bird show the freedom of others. Freedom is what everyone and everything deserves, both mentally and physically.

Larissa MalpasYear 12, Heatley Secondary College

Transition of Mind [detail] 2015 Watercolour on paper30 x 50cm

The motivation behind this piece is to raise awareness about mental illness. It shows the transition from a healthy mind to an unhealthy mind. It also shows how mental illness can affect anyone; it can occur at any time and that we must prevent this from being a stigma.

Mikkayla SalterYear 11, Heatley Secondary College

Life & Death [detail] 2015 Mixed media on paper100 x 150cm

This work is about the transition between the life and death of our environment, due to human destruction. The girl’s face which is alive represents the ‘perfect’ pristine environment, which exists without human destruction and interaction. The roses represent life and growth.

Georgia ANDERSON Year 11, Kirwan State High School

Erasing Innocence [detail] 2015 Mixed media on canvas 60 x 74cm

Images of self-loving and provocative young women posted on social media sites are destroying their innocence. The work discovers how the impact of social media encourages and manipulates teenage girls to post these revealing images.

Georgia ANDERSONYear 11, Kirwan State High School

Ανακαλύπτουν (Discover in Greek) [detail] 2015 Mixed media on canvas 40 x 50cm

This is an exploration of Greek mythology. It challenges viewers to look past the clichéd or superficial interpretations of Greek mythology into the finer details and hidden symbolism.

Darcy ARTHURSYear 11, Kirwan State High School

Past Reflections [detail] 2015 Mixed media and collage on paper 75 x 55cm

Our ideas on the world are based on our subjective experience. Whilst the people you hold close can’t write life for you, the lessons learnt guide you. From there, it’s up to you to utilise what you have.

Darcy ARTHURSYear 11, Kirwan State High School

The Lioness [detail] 2015 Mixed media on paper 40 x 57cm

This work is about being brave, being the person you were born to be. Utilising one’s true potential and taking our strengths and letting them shine through. The vibrancy throughout is symbolic of the blood pumping through our veins, how we are many things at once. It’s about encouraging us to wear our heart on our sleeve.

Charlotte BLAGG Year 11, Kirwan State High School

Vibrance [detail] 2015 Mixed media on paper 62 x 46cm

This artwork explores the vibrancy and beauty in simple natural objects. I wanted viewers to stop and think about the natural beauty and highlight the vibrant colour palette in nature.

Olivia CARTWRIGHTYear 11, Kirwan State High School

Zodiac: The Three Faces [detail] 2015 Mixed media on paper 82 x 63cm

The three faces symbolise the personality of a Gemini (myself). Hidden above the faces is the zodiac wheel. The top face represents gregarious; the middle face, vivacity; and the bottom face, duality. The matter or material accessorising these representations of me also represents my love of creativity and nature.

Olivia CARTWRIGHTYear 11, Kirwan State High School

Wanderlust [detail] 2015 Mixed media on paper 47 x 35cm

An adventurous piece exploring travel to capture nature, vintage treasures, ancient script and vibrant, colourful beauty. Asia fascinates me and it’s the first continent I plan to venture to, so I wanted to express the wonderment and awe for others to enjoy.

Kiana DixonYear 12, Kirwan State High School

The Bonfire [detail] 2015 Mixed media on board60 x 90cm

When visiting my family home in New South Wales, every night was spent huddled around this beautiful bonfire in my Nan’s backyard. The fire brought us all together again and we shared many stories. This artwork crystallises my understanding of how families can be apart and come together.

Rosalie ERRINGTON Year 11, Kirwan State High School

Man Developing as God [detail] 2015 Mixed media and collage on canvas 20 x 42cm

This piece shows the revolutionary stages of development in society. The Industrial Revolution was one of the greatest instances of change in this world’s history. Here it is compared to the present revolution of modern society, the advancement of technology.

Darcie FIELDINGYear 11, Kirwan State High School

Amethyst Rose [detail] 2015 Watercolour, oil pastel, spray paint and pencil on paper 50 x 38cm

My artwork captures the essence of all things beautiful and expensive. The many fragments and facets in the stone, provokes the viewer to question whether wealth is a simple way of describing someone or something.

Brittany GouldYear 12, Kirwan State High School

Bluebells [detail] 2015 Mixed media on canvas122 x 91cm

Bluebells is a palimpsest work based on the life of Joan Gould, my Grandma. She is a woman filled with many different intricacies that embrace individuality and true inner acceptance.

Rebecca KUILBOERYear 11, Kirwan State High School

Tribal Strengths [detail] 2015 Mixed media on paper 50 x 37cm

Tribal Strengths explores the vibrancy, strength, symbolism and connectedness in Maori culture. Elements such as tribal tattoos and the paua shell were influential in the exploration of this work.

Madelyn NORTHEAST Year 11, Kirwan State High School

Nothing else matters, cause I’m happy now [detail] 2015 Mixed media on paper 34 x 46cm

My artwork shows a unique metaphor for happiness. Ever felt so happy that your face scrunches up and you just want to run around or swing on a chandelier? I wanted to show how sometimes our inner emotions don’t always come forth to the surface.

Madelyn NORTHEASTYear 11, Kirwan State High School

I am Good [detail] 2015 Pencil and acrylic on paper 92 x 65cm

This artwork reflects on one’s journey through life. It explores someone who is not what society sees as normal, being praised and loved which in my opinion is the most important emotion and necessary on the road to happiness. The simplicity of the figures makes the viewer concentrate on the emotions portrayed.

Madison RAGAUYear 11, Kirwan State High School

Chambers of the Brain [detail] 2015 Mixed media on paper 30 x 91cm

Ancient philosophers and modern psychologists share the concept of a three-part mind with separate domains for thinking, feeling and doing. These domains or chambers express my belief in this and I have portrayed each characteristic and mind-part separately.

Zoe SeitisYear 12, Kirwan State High School

I am Alice [detail] 2015 Mixed media on canvas100 x 120cm

The concept is the exploration and discovery of my identity. I was in a dark place in my life, and it is hard to explain the feeling of being lost in my own world. I looked into my past and reflected on things that I have lived through and experienced to try and find out who I am now.

Zoe TurnerYear 12, Kirwan State High School

The Sum of Us [detail] 2015 Mixed media on canvas100 x 120cm

Some people dream of having a great friendship, and I have been fortunate to have one. Growing together throughout our teenage years has seen me focus on the Yin and Yang of our personalities. The Sum of Us demonstrates how different my best friend and I are and yet, how the same we are.

Ebony WaiteYear 12, Kirwan State High School

Freedom [detail] 2015 Mixed media on canvas100 x 120cm

Cheerleading is a strong, team sport with self-empowering skills for both females and males. Society and many feminist groups give this sport a bad name. I want to bring awareness to the integrity of this amazing sport that has engaged my freedom of expression, dance, fitness and self-worth.

Chrisinda CAWOODYear 12, Northern Beaches State High School

Untitled [detail] 2015 Series of four digital printsVarious sizes

These photographs are of a wearable artwork Island Bird of Paradise Dress created by Metzli Spence who was in Year 12 at All Souls St. Gabriel in Charters Towers. The challenge was to showcase the artwork and let it tell a story.

Chrisinda CAWOODYear 12, Northern Beaches State High School

Peaceful Mornings [detail] 2015 Inkjet print on paper21.5 x 14.5cm

In this photograph I was playing around with depth of field. I like how the background is blurred which allows the pole (which is in focus) to be the focal point.

Briody GIBSONYear 12, Northern Beaches State High School

Untitled [detail] 2015 Series of four digital prints14 x 21cm each

These photographs are of a wearable artwork Sustainably Suburban created by Lucy Gounaris, who is in Year 12 at St Margaret Mary’s College. Based on nature, the artwork is a neutral, beige colour with lots of small details in either green or blue.

Talia losbergYear 11, Northern Beaches State High School


These photographs are of a wearable artwork Tribal created by Kelsey Weight, who is in Year 10 at Northern Beaches State High School. In order to capture the essence of the artwork, I chose to use a black background to make the colours stand out and look more vibrant; the lighting I used further enhanced this quality.

Jessica SMITHYear 11, Northern Beaches State High School

Morning Haze [detail] 2015 Inkjet print on paper21.5 x 14.5cm

I took this photograph very early one morning when there was a lingering, hazy fog. It was a beautiful, peaceful morning and the image captured the feeling perfectly.

Danielle THOMASYear 11, Northern Beaches State High School

Love [detail] 2015 Inkjet print on paper21.5 x 14.5cm

Light painting is a technique used in photography which uses a long exposure time. I really enjoyed getting my friends to spell the letters out (in reverse) so I could photograph the word ‘love’; I lost count of how many times we had to do it to get it just right.



These photographs are of a wearable artwork Air Hostess created by Alana Lincoln, who was in Year 12 at Kirwan State High School. It was an interesting artwork to photograph as it was made completely from newspapers. Initially I had the model pose on a grey background in very formal positions, however I then asked her to have a bit of fun and pose in a whimsical manner.



These photographs are of a wearable artwork Cherry Blossom created by Jacinta Entriken, who is in Year 10 at Northern Beaches State High School. It is such a delicate, pretty artwork that I wanted to photograph it so that it highlighted that aspect; the bright white background in three of the photographs does this beautifully.



These photographs are of a wearable artwork From Gutter to Glamour created by Francesca Napier, who is in Year 12 at St Margaret Mary’s College. The main feature of the dress is the green bottle tops and as such I chose a green background to complement this.

Michael VAN AKKERENYear 12, Northern Beaches State High School


These photographs are of a wearable artwork Bloom created by Belinda Whalley, who is in Year 10 at Northern Beaches State High School. It is a very bright and colourful piece featuring an abundance of paper flowers. I chose to photograph the piece in front of a white background, which made the bright colours of the flowers stand out more in contrast to the black dress.

Georgia WARDYear 12, Northern Beaches State High School


These photographs are of a wearable artwork Harry Potter Deconstructed, which was created by Sarah-Louise Hoffman who is in Year 10 at Northern Beaches State High School. I wanted to make sure people knew that the artwork was based on the Harry Potter books, which is why I asked the model to pose with the actual book and a wand.


Vibrant Morning [detail] 2015 Inkjet print on paper21.5 x 6cm

This image was taken very early in the morning when the sun had barely come up. The image was originally quite dull but then I enhanced the photo in Photoshop to create a more vibrant feeling.



These photographs are of a wearable artwork Party Time created by Taleah Ross, who is a Year 10 student at Northern Beaches State High School. As the name suggests, it really was a ‘party’ trying to photograph these images. I had the model dance and twirl around and captured the movement of the CDs with a slow shutter speed.

Georgia WARD Year 12, Northern Beaches State High School


These photographs are of a wearable artwork The Missing Piece created by April Godinez and Anna Ta, who are both Year 10 students at Heatley Secondary College. With such an innovative artwork I wanted to make sure I created a dramatic effect in the photographs. This was achieved with a dark background and specific, directional lighting.

Victoria-Rose AlexionYear 12, Pimlico State High School

Victoria’s Produce [detail] 2014 Mixed media60 x 40 x 80cm

The artist box has been manipulated to represent myself through the things I love and are important to me. The typewriter, the ream rotating through the machine expresses interests, quotes and meaningful aspects. The rolling pin and produce box express my family’s support for fresh produce and growing your own produce.

Tamara BOBINYear 12, Pimlico State High School

Festival of Colours [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas122 x 91cm

My artwork explores the focus of the Holi Festival in India. The message is about new beginnings, equality and freedom celebrated within this festival. Visual language such as colour is used to create expressions of freedom, happiness, and excitement.

Danni Bretzke Year 12, Pimlico State High School

Corruption [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas74 x 90cm

Corruption features an iconic legal image. The issue of money within the legal system no longer lies within bribery and illegal trickery. It also can be seen within the use of legal representatives. It is obvious to all that if you want something better, there is a cost; the legal system is no exception with money buying better legal support.

Shania FULLARD Year 12, Pimlico State High School

Modern Apocalypse [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas74 x 90cm

The main inspiration for the painting was the four horsemen of the apocalypse: Conquest, Death, War and Famine. The horsemen themselves are each so striking, and although the text from which they are taken was written centuries ago they still represent problems present in today’s society.

Olivia CURRIN Year 12, Pimlico State High School

Refraction [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas (compound)150 x 110cm

Refraction shows the environment trying to drown our footprint, slowly sinking into the abyss of nature’s water system: ironically, the source of all living things. Without the environment we would have no air to breathe, no place to grow, and most importantly no water to thrive. Red heads as the warning sign to regroup and cluster together once more, like the balloons representing hope conserving our earthy energies for generations to come, minimising our footprint on the earth.

Lily GlendenningYear 12, Pimlico State High School

They are Making a Knew World [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas121 x 190cm

This work explores war from personal and socio-cultural contexts and the effect of the Afghanistan war on children. Each canvas features a site of war where children have been impacted by the violence. Children, as well as Australian soldiers, are used to express trauma and devastation.

Naomi HORNYear 12, Pimlico State High School

Brandy’s Sunset [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas120 x 80cm

I grew up on the back of a horse and in this painting I have my first pony, Brandy. This passion for horses and especially Brandy brings pure warmth and joy to my heart. The old water tank on the mound represents my safe place, where I hid from all my problems. The most hidden message is in the sunset as this chapter of my life did come to an end.

Mackenzie JESTON Year 12, Pimlico State High School

Unknown [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas120 x 60cm

Unknown focuses on a human that is so intrigued in technology that she forgets she is at the beach. You don’t have to be stuck behind a laptop screen to see the real world. It’s about taking one step outside your door and you are there!

brooke hurditch Year 12, Pimlico State High School

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made [detail] 2014 Painted wire and plywood60 x 130cm

My wire sculpture explores birth and identity from personal and spiritual contexts. The artwork is inspired by Psalm 139 in which David writes about being knitted together in the womb. This sculpture communicates that we are all purposely, uniquely and intimately created by an all knowing and loving God.

SANNA KARVINENYear 12, Pimlico State High School

Bubble Reef [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas60 x 70cm

All the ocean animals shown in this artwork have been painted in their natural habitat without the destruction of humans. The message is to remind society of the beautiful Great Barrier Reef that we all need to help look after.

Nicola katsarosYear 11, Pimlico State High School

Self-Portrait [detail] 2015 Mixed media on canvas91 x 60cm

This self-portrait explores my personality, interests and beliefs. In addition to my physical likeness I have used visual language such as symbolism to communicate hidden meanings.

Ingrid MILLER Year 11, Pimlico State High School


This self-portrait artwork explores who I am beyond my physical appearance. I have used stencils and spray paint over collage on canvas. The bright rainbow colours and symbols of Mars, Venus and Mercury have been used to represent aspects of my personality, in particular my LGBTQ identity, which is a key part of my sense of self.

DESIREE KEWE Year 11, Pimlico State High School

Self-Portrait [detail] 2014 Acrylic on canvas101 x 76cm

This self-portrait embodies a physical likeness of myself, and has hidden meanings through the use of symbols. These include the globe, which represents my love of travelling and nature, and the Bird of Paradise that symbolises the importance of my culture (Papua New Guinea) in my life.

KARINA seynerYear 12, Pimlico State High School

Human-made Effects [detail] 2015 Acrylic and liquid glass on canvas102 x 236cm

My work focuses on pollution and the environment and the disastrous effects plastic has on wildlife in different natural habitats. The canvases show a reef where green turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish; a possum and its baby trapped by plastic within trees; and three kookaburras entwined with plastic as they fly across their habitat at sunset.

Tasha STARECZEKYear 12, Pimlico State High School

Existentialism [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas 93 x 121cm

This artwork represents the way humans view themselves as the centre of importance, hardly taking notice of what is around them. It concentrates on the site of Earth depicted in the centre of the canvas, illuminated by the stars and nebulae around it.

Courtney HALL Year 12, Ryan Catholic College

Flower dress [detail] 2015 Mixed media, plastics, silk, paint, bark, photography, canvas90 x 180cm

The installation combines wearable art, photography and a painted canvas. The wearable artwork investigates the issues of identity. I have researched the meaning of flowers and colours and have selected them to reveal my personality. The art elements have been manipulated to represent lights and shades within life.

Hanah WHYTE Year 11, Pimlico State High School


This self-portrait symbolises aspects of my identity which are often hidden. The appropriation of Van Gogh’s Starry Night reflects the concept that ‘I live and speak art’, as well as my admiration for his journey as an artist. The city-scape portrays my love for big cities, with high energy and bright lights.

Ashley PETERSEN Year 12, Ryan Catholic College

Icons [detail] 2015 Collage and mixed media on canvas 90 x 180cm

Three celebrities or icons were chosen because they represented an era and their deaths shocked the entire world. The work is all about impact. These three impacted the world in such a big way but had layers of problems and truths within them.

Jack SINGHYear 12, Ryan Catholic College

Metamorphosis – Change over time [detail] 2015 Photoshop collage (diptych) 20 x 20cm and 20 x 25cm

This artwork branches from a study of metamorphosis. The starry night cat was my first attempt to layer images that linked my ideas about nature and spirituality. The lion and the butterflies depict my interpretation of the process of growth, living and ageing.

Logan BUCZYNSKY Year 11, St Anthony’s Catholic College

Still Fire [detail] 2015 Pencil, oil pastels, acrylic paint on paper46 x 65cm each

My artwork represents an exploration of abstraction through Realism, Cubism and Process art. I endeavoured to abstract the foundation shapes of the still life objects to ultimately simplify it to lines and shapes.

Jessica BELL Year 11, St Anthony’s Catholic College

Strike [detail] 2015 Acrylic paint and oil pastel on paper65 x 46cm

My artwork represents an exploration of abstraction and process art. My focus was how the apple was created, rather than the final appearance. The table was my canvas for this artwork where I finger painted my still life object onto the surface and transferred the design onto paper.

Cup [detail] 2015 Oil pastels and acrylic paint on paper 65 x 46cm each

My artwork represents an exploration of abstraction and process art. My focus was how the cup was created, rather than the final appearance. The table was my canvas for this artwork where I finger painted my still life object onto the surface and transferred the design onto paper.

Cube [detail] 2015 Acrylic paint and oil pastel on paper65 x 46cm

My artwork represents an exploration of abstraction and process art. My focus was how the jar was created, rather than the final appearance. The table was my canvas for this artwork where I finger painted my still life object onto the surface and transferred the design onto paper.

Fragile Earth [detail] 2015 Plaster, acrylic paint, fabric glue and styrofoam sphere on cardboard 94 x 41 x 28cm

Nicole PARKER Year 11, St Anthony’s Catholic College

Oil Spill [detail] 2015 Pyrography pen and oil pastels wood176 x 59.5cm

The intended meaning of my artwork is to represent oil spills and how it affects the environment. I have used the boat at the top of my artwork to show how oil spills affect sea creatures like sea horses and eventually reaching land creatures like pelicans.

Jasmine SANSALONEYear 11, St Anthony’s Catholic College

Feathered [detail] 2015 Pencil, oil pastels, acrylic paint on paper46 x 65cm

My artwork represents an exploration of abstraction through Realism, Cubism and Process art. I endeavoured to abstract the foundation shapes of the still life objects to ultimately simplify it to lines and shapes.

Demi-Rose SUTTONYear 11, St Anthony’s Catholic College

Circus [detail] 2015 Acrylic paint, wire and hot glue on a drum37 x 37 x 20cm

The intended meaning of my artwork is that the circus isn’t always what it seems. When we attend a circus performance we see talent, entertainment and a façade of life as a circus animal. I wanted to explore the emotions of the animals and what we don’t see after the show has finished and the audience has left.

Donnika WILLIAMS Year 12, St Anthony’s Catholic College

Lost Art [detail] 2015 Watercolour on paper100 x 120cm

My work presents a boy with his headphones on, listening to music while he is surrounded by his personal thoughts that look into his imagination. I am confronting the viewer to consider the lost art of imagining due to the increased use of technology in our youths.

Mikayla THOMPSON Year 11, St Anthony’s Catholic College

Jelly Bin [detail] 2015 Plastic, fishing line and aluminium on a clothes hanger120 x 50cm each

This jellyfish sculpture reflects the environmental issue of marine pollution. I want to raise more awareness of the impact that rubbish has on our ocean and marine life by incorporating a number of materials that impact on the marine environment.

Hannah BOWMANYear 12, St Margaret Mary’s College

Sailing for Adventure [detail] 2015 Acrylic and medium on canvas77 x 200cm

This triptych explores my existence through my family bloodlines. On the way to searching for my identity, I first needed to find the roots, the structure and the beginning. Sailing for Adventure entails a flowing landscape across Ireland, Scotland, England and Denmark which blends into a continuous scene.

Erryn DOXEYYear 12, St Margaret Mary’s College

Side Effects [detail] 2015 Photographs on paper39 x 100.5cm

My work reflects the concept of existence. The series of photographs focuses on the existence of positive and negative forces in life that impact on our moral decisions and often leave us feeling conflicted.

Francesca NAPIER Year 12, St Margaret Mary’s College

Lines of Connection [detail] 2015 Papier mâché on board and photographs on photo paperVarious sizes

Each of the composed photographs and the papier mâché on board reflects the idea of connection, whether it be to another person, to media and literature, one’s own emerging self-awareness, or to inanimate objects.

Ashlei MAJOR Year 12, St Margaret Mary’s College

Who Am I? [detail] 2015 Watercolour, pencil, sand and conté on paper58 x 77.7cm

Although my concept explores the fragility of Indigenous culture’s rich traditions, it is our younger generation who are able to keep it alive through modern and contemporary artwork and culture. I have incorporated both traditional and contemporary art forms in my work in order to tell my story of existence.

Sophie KELLYYear 12, St Patrick’s College

Floral fraternity [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas90 x 50cm

Floral fraternity explores family identity. The three canvases identify the individuality of me and my siblings. Each canvas uses flowers symbolic of our respective zodiac signs. The Dahlia is used to represent the star sign of ‘Leo’ for my eldest sister. The golden ratio and paint brush has been included to show her interest in art.

Hetti TOWERSYear 12, St Patrick’s College

Step behind the mask [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas and ceramic90 x 50cm

This is a ‘look’ inside my head. The blue canvas represents my outer shell which people rarely see behind. The red canvas represents me at breaking point. The yellow canvas shows how I feel on the inside or how I think other people see me. The dragon flowing through the background reminds me of my family.

Jennifer BOARD Year 12, The Cathedral School

Consumed [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas75 x 100cm

Consumed by loneliness, a world of black and white possesses the potential of light and colour. The girl in the foreground has an expression of longing and loneliness even though there are many other figures in the painting. However, those people are inside away from the open, performing actions that they believe are more important in life.

Billie-Jean BARNES Year 12, The Cathedral School

The Hollowness [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas90 x 125cm

My painting has more than one meaning to me and I know to others it will tell a different story. To me it is just an expression of humanity. We’re all hollow shells that search for the light in the world. Even if it’s the tiniest spark we will fight, journey for that glimpse of life no matter how small.

Alexandra BAXTERYear 11, Townsville Grammar School

Prophecy 2015 Mixed media60 x 180 x 15cm

A prophecy is something that is declared by a prophet, especially a divinity inspired utterance or revelation. This artwork portrays my interest in the subject of divinity and of a religion that is slowly being forgotten. Each letter represents a different bible story that was told to me as a child and has remained important to me ever since.

Nicole COBURN Year 12, William Ross State High School

Environmental Journey [detail] 2015 Mixed media160 x 90 x 90cm

The message within my artwork relates to the impact that humankind is having upon the environment and the damage that we are doing. I was inspired by the work of John Wolseley and Janet Laurence and feel strongly about their viewpoints.

Chloe farawell Year 12, William Ross State High School

Our Entertainers Stamp Series [detail] 2015 Digital print on paper84 x 59cm

This four piece stamp series includes AC-DC, INXS, Cold Chisel and Wolfmother. I used these as they are the top four most famous Australian Rock Bands in the MTV 2014 top 20. They have shaped Australian music and they are known worldwide.

Cara DOHNALEKYear 11, Townsville Grammar School

Festive 2015 Mixed media30 x 150 x 30cm

When I see or hear the word ‘festive’ a bright and vast variety of colours come to mind, along with laughter and thoughts, culture and celebration. To truly achieve this sense of festivity I have researched many cultural festivals throughout the world. Festive explores how a city, town or country portrays itself in costume, dance, body art, masks and meaning.

Reece HOOPERYear 12, William Ross State High School

Unique Nature [detail] 2015 Photography and mixed media installation95 x 79.5cm

To portray the unique qualities of nature I have explored the subject with photography and image manipulation. I have created different textures and overlapped them, allowing the layers to become visible through each other. Printed onto sheets of plastic the images have then been folded into boxes.

Michael McCLELLANDYear 12, William Ross State High School

Her Journey [detail] 2015 Mixed media on paper49 x 32.5cm each

My artwork explores my own personal journey from South Africa to Australia and is represented by two stereotypical women from each country. Each figure represents what is seen as beauty in that culture.

CAMERON CALDWELLWilliam Ross State High School Handle With Care [detail] 2015 Mixed media40 x 128 x 190cm

The hands that form a yellow triangle represent that humans must be cautious on the path they choose in regards to the environment. The environmental features are rough and fragile, like nature. The manmade structures have solid lines to give the impression that the manmade objects are tough.

CLARISSA BRECHBUHLWilliam Ross State High School Lotta Interior [detail] 2015Mixed media60 x 45 x 2cm

Lotta Interior is a Latin translation for ‘inner struggle’. This is an extended metaphor for individual morality. All surfaces of this artwork are oil treated and texturised to demonstrate the saturated complexity of such a journey. The raw, unvarnished nature of humanity is the key focus in this work.

MADELINE PENDERGASTTownsville Grammar School (North Ward Campus) Distorted [detail] 2015 Mixed media180 x 162 x 32cm

Living with scoliosis is not easy. This artwork contains three braces that I have worn, each depicting the physical distortion of my spine and the emotional effects and restrictions of living with scoliosis while having to wear a brace.

JASMINE RALLIS Townsville State High School Pink [detail] 2015 Oil on canvas50 x 40cm

Influenced by artists such as Frida Kahlo and Henri Rousseau, I was inspired to make my own statement about self-image through the use of bold colours, feminine subject matter and the perceived colours associated with this gender. The constant use of pink in face and flowers, plus the use of makeup represents the images associated with femininity.

KATIE SUTCLIFFEThe Cathedral School of St Anne and St James Life’s Rocky Desert [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas122 x 91 x 2cm

I used the relaxed, reclining nature of the figures to create a sense of melancholy. The figures, in a state of enlightenment are reminiscing and pensive. The moments that we as people live for and cherish, that drive us to tomorrow, are fleeting, ephemeral. In this piece I was trying to capture the essence of such a moment and to make it timeless.

MADELEINE OTTAWAYThe Cathedral School of St Anne and St James Hidden self [detail] 2015Pen and pencil on paper80 x 55 x 2cm

This artwork explores the way in which teenagers hide their true selves as they are afraid of being judged for not fitting in to what our society considers to be “normal”. The contrast between the natural human figure and the man-made objects highlight the feeling of alienation, which is commonly faced in the journey of self-discovery.

MORGAN DESIRAThe Cathedral School of St Anne and St James Soren [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas91 x 122 x 2cm

Faith, for me is an isolating experience, symbolised by the cool blue colours flowing around and cocooning the figure; however, faith is also primarily a source of hope and comfort, hence the warm colours of the figure.

JANAYA EMERY The Cathedral School of St Anne and St James Alleviate [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas61 x 91 x 2cm

This piece reflects the vulnerability of an individual when learning to trust others and relinquish control. One hand is symbolic of the comfort and support of others whilst the other suggests gratitude. Both hands together are indicative of a mutual understanding and peacefulness.

SOPHIE CONNELLSt Patrick’s College Townsville Lao lilac meets beige Townsville [detail] 2015 Digital photography180 x 200 x 5cm

We, and many other creatures, belong to the land so it is not our right to ruin it for our own needs without considering the effects on wildlife. I am portraying deforestation, loss of animal habitat, chemical runoff and air pollution to raise awareness for our precious, unique planet.

CAMERON DUFFYSt Anthony’s Catholic College (Secondary Campus) The Bigger Picture [detail] 2015 Pencil and pen on paper120 x 115 x 5cm

KATELYN LOVETT St Anthony’s Catholic College (Secondary Campus) Allegory [detail] 2015 Books and paper silhouettes20 x 15 x 5cm

The word ‘allegory’ is a Latin word representing abstract or spiritual meaning through concrete or material forms. This work explores the art of novels and storytelling allowing scenes to unfold in the imagination of the reader or listener.

JESSICA BELLSt Anthony’s Catholic College (Secondary Campus) Paper Trees [detail] 2015 Glue, wood chips, magazine paper on varnished wooden board72 x 90 x 10cm

Deforestation is represented through the materials I have used as well as the tree dying. It shows how humans are wasting materials that come from trees and how we are destroying the environment. By using paper and wood to create my tree, I am reflecting on what trees are being used for and how they are being wasted.

SUNNI ROBERTSRyan Catholic College Mosaic Memories [detail] 2015Surfboard, glass, nuts and bolts, spark plugs, putty, tiles and shells50 x 188 x 3cm

Every component has been selected for its personal meaning and reflects my identity. I hope that the audience will take their own personal journey when viewing my artwork. It draws the viewer in and pulls them into the swirl of mosaic pattern. The recycled components are renewed again with personal meanings.

PYU SAN MINPimlico State High School The Strength of the Karen [detail] 2015 Mixed media on canvas122 x 91cm

This artwork tries to capture the memory and trauma of the day my mother lost her home, country and her father. In April 1992, Burmese soldiers attacked my family’s village in the Karen State, burning it to the ground. My grandfather was killed and the rest of my family had little time to escape, forced to walk for three days without food or water to get over the border to Thailand.

THOMAS ATKINSON Ryan Catholic College Evelyn [detail] 2015 Mannequin dressed in bark, origami, string and wire50 x 190 x 110cm

Women’s bodies are put under unfair and ridiculous scrutiny in media and in society. This work questions the effect of this on the individual. It also suggests that the ending of negative, repressive relationship leads to a personal freedom and free thought.

ADELLE KENNETTPimlico State High School Under Threat [detail] 2015 Acrylic on canvas91 x 122cm

This tiger comprises of different physical features from the endangered Amur, Bengal, Indochinese and Malayan Tigers, the critically endangered South China and Sumatran Tigers, as well as the now extinct Balinese, Caspian and Javan Tigers. Also portrayed is the fallen head of a Buddha sculpture, the edge of a pit trap, and the hands of a man grasping his way out.

CONNOR ALIFRACOPimlico State High School Enlightenment [detail] 2015Digital prints on corflute180 x 60cm

These images convey a message about the destruction of our environment. The environments encased in the light bulbs symbolise that these beautiful sites in our world may be lost due to the destructive nature of human beings, and will then only be enjoyed as ‘museum pieces’.

TAYLA HILLERKirwan State High School Outside In. Inside Out [detail] 2015 Mixed media80 x 200 x 7cm

I have been swimming for seven years and my life has always been about swimming and water. From childhood memories of playing in the pool with my sisters, to the competitive swimmer I am today, my work represents the ‘iceberg’ theory by Ernest Hemingway, where the revelation isn’t on the surface, but deep down, where narrative of innocence, imagination and reality meet.

VICTORIA-ROSE ALEXION Pimlico State High School Bella Vita [detail] 2015 Framed digital prints on photo-paper152 x 82cm

This collection depicted with handmade wearable art in the installation photography, complements and reminiscences a harmonious and romantic complexity of Renaissance sculptures. Bella Vita shows the parallels and homage of the great masters of High Renaissance and the unity of the artist’s current location, reflecting life in North Queensland surrounded by timeless and raw materials.

JAYDE GRIFFITHSKirwan State High School The Tide of My Life [detail] 2015 Acrylic, sand, gesso and ink80 x 100 x 4cm

MARINEL DIMAILIG Kirwan State High School José P Rizal [detail] 2015 Mixed media on canvas100 x 120 x 2cm

YUSRA ELMASRI Heatley Secondary College Transition [detail] 2015 Graphite pencil100 x 75 x 5cm

JAMIE-LEE COWARDColumba Catholic College (Mount Carmel Campus) Waterfall [detail] 2015 Digital photography90 x 60 x 2cm

This image was taken on an iPhone, and created by experimenting with different editing tools and the shutter speed to change colour and light. I threw flour and coloured ground chalk at the subject, as she was tossing back her hair, to show movement and contrast. I hope the viewer is inspired to wonder where the movement begins, rather than focus on how it is happening.

WENDY WHITEHeatley Secondary College Past Remembrance [detail] 2015 Fabric 100 x 120 x 5cm

This artwork is about the emotions and feelings that occur when moving from one location to another. My personal experience of moving house, school and location has influenced this work.

LINSEY BALDACCHINOBowen State High School For the Slaughter [detail] 2015 Newspaper, tissue paper, wire and glue60 x 180 x 60cm

It is unfair for society to brutally murder and take advantage of animals for things such as food, entertainment, sport and clothing, which are really not necessary in today’s society.
