Screenprint and gouache Edition of 33 Image size: 41 x 28.2 cm Paper size: 41 x 28.2 cm PCA Print Commission 2014 From series of home represents both my visual and conceptual investigations on the idea of home. I ask myself questions such as how can I visualise home in Australia? What are the impacts of my everyday experiences on the image of home? Handwriting the single word Khaneh (home) on top of each printed work provides me the opportunity to search for the answers to my questions and visualise a place, as home, that may only exist in my mind.

Layli Rakhsha – From series of home
Screenprint with glitter Edition of 50 Image size: 35 x 27 cm Paper size: 37.5 x 38 cm PCA Print Commission 2014 This work is representative of human and nature and their boundless capacity for re-invention and rejuvenation. 'The Curios' are evidence of a mutation that may provide advantageous new traits in a foreign environment that could survive and multiply, or being adverse effects.

Drypoint Edition of 40 Image size: 29.5 x 25 cm Paper size: 29.5 x 25 cm PCA Print Commission 2014 I have been exploring the notion of the anonymous portrait, working from photos taken in the street of strangers. I combine these images with narratives. Own Sweet Time contemplates what you can be seen to take with you, even if you take nothing.

Catherine Macdonald – Own Sweet Time
Screenprint, solvent transfer and chine colle Edition of 35 Image size: 29.5 x 19cm; Paper size: 57 x 38 cm PCA Print Commission 2014 Nina Juniper is an emerging printmaker whose practice explores ideas of architectural space, the public realm and spatial history. Her works apply distortion and layering as techniques of intervention and descriptions of human interaction in public space. She is interested in the function and dysfunction of the public realm, the role of architectural space, and the historical context of the built environment.

Cleo Wilkinson – Inception IV
Etching and aquatint Edition of 30 Image size: 43.5 x 63.5 cm Paper size: 56 x 76 cm PCA Print Commission 2014 Since my residency at Sydney's Taronga Zoo I have deployed Chinese-manufactured toy animals from its gift shop to comment on vexing contradictions. Longing and Belonging ponders Australia's challenges in coming to terms with its global position in Asia and alludes to emerging, not so cute geopolitical complexities in the Asia/Pacific region, the influence of dominant economies, past domino theories and our blinkered dependence on the fluctuating value of finite natural resources.

Michael Kempson – Longing and Belonging
Screenprint Edition of 30 Image size: 33 x 26 cm Paper size: 38 x 56 cm PCA Print Commission 2014 My artwork is about present day realities and future aspirations. Exploring themes of migration, culture clash, decoration and value, with particular focus on elements that unite the Pacific. These include recurring design motifs, traditional patterning and the convergence of cultures. I employ patterns derived from traditional Pacific Island ‘Tapa’ or bark cloth, set against stylised images and wildly artificial colours of western pop culture.

Separations are drawn with Sharpies, the preferred writing tool of subway graffiti writers.
