Eleven artists in the Nimbus studio at Arts Access Victoria have been invited to consider the idea of spill and to reflect how their work can subvert, transform and re-imagine both real and imagined boundaries. Through their diverse practices, these artists aim to question, challenge and complicate the boundaries that limit. Their work reclaims, rethinks and reshapes understanding of Deafness and Disability and finds respect, pride and sense of place. They push the boundaries and challenge thinking about the lived experience of disability and artistic practice.There are many different boundaries in art: boundaries of style, material boundaries, and aesthetic boundaries, to mention a few. Boundaries also exist that limit and exclude disabled and Deaf artists. These boundaries are not fixed or permanent and they constantly shift and are often invisible. We need to spill over and out of these social and cultural boundaries to promote art that pushes, extends and explores the boundaries, what it looks like, how it is made and the people who make it.[Image Description: A young boy in a room standing in the middle of a spilled puddle of Milk. With a surprised expression on his face. The boy has a hearing aid on a band, a light blue top with a tiger outline print and blue, red, and white striped shorts, white socks with brown leather sandals. The image of the room around the boy is blurred.]

Aleshanee Faery

Aleshanee Faery is a multi-disciplinary artist. She prefers analogue and handmade mediums. The natural environment is the source of inspiration. Her favourite mediums are printmaking, sculpture, textiles, photography, and drawing.

Angela Blazevic

is a Melbourne based artist who works with drawing and painting. She is in her element while working with other artists in a studio. Angela loves working with artists with disabilities, like herself. She works with portraits, nature and abstraction. ‘I like to have fun with art and see where it leads me’.

Marnie Woods

Marnie Woods is an avid nature enthusiast, creating art inspired by the world around her, myths and legends. She has always been drawn to art as a method of self-expression ever since she was a very young child, forever drawing butterflies, dragons and stingrays on any scrap of paper. Marnie uses quirkiness; obscuring messages hiding them in plain sight within miniatures to reflect the duality in everything, while also portraying the irony of life and her perspectives. As a woman with autism, Marnie’s art helps her navigate her disabilities. Most things electronic are frustrating, and in this increasingly digital world are a struggle, therefore all her art has been in the physical world, hand created.

Nicole Tsourlenes

Nicole Tsourlenes is a Melbourne-based artist who specialises in photographic and digital works. She is a founding member of the Nimbus Studio and has exhibited widely across Melbourne. Nicole’s work focuses on capturing the world around her.

Penelope Pollard

Her art is poetically articulate and highly distinctive. The work explores complex ideas of layered personal identity and the public/interpersonal perceptions and assumptions of individual character; the initially seen surfaces and the underlying unseen strengths and fragilities. Penny who identifies as Deaf is fascinated by faces, masks and skulls. She works and reworks these motifs to address questions of subjectivity, portraiture, appearance, and labels. Although predominantly working in metal, Penny is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans contemporary jewellery, poetry and visual arts.

Raymond Martin

Raymond Martin transposes the beauty and wonder of the world into remarkable paintings of simplified outlines and flattened views that resonate as material analogues for the unconscious, the mythical and the spiritual. Incised lines in thick impasto lead us along circuitous paths and decorative labyrinth patterns into a nonlinear, transpersonal 'Dream Time'.

Warren Loorham

Woz is a visual artist with focus on portraiture and abstract work. His self-portraits examine themes of identity post brain injury. Woz prefers to paint in oils. Woz also enjoys the twists and turns of learning and exploring different techniques. Woz gives his demons form. Sculpting and painting them into manageable, controllable visual manifestations.
