Ko Jou Chen is a Taiwanese artist based in Naarm/Melbourne.

In the midst of a plastic pollution crisis, I've explored ways in making something beautiful and playful that represents up-cycling essentially from rubbish.

My work reveals raw emotions through tactile metal forms, transforming discarded cupcake paper and mussel shells into intricate adornments.

Gaia Maria Walicka is a Melbourne based interdisciplinary artist practicing primarily in jewellery and object based practice.

My practice explores the shapes of my immediate landscape, and those of my ancestors, layered upon dazed and moody memories.
