The exhibition focuses on the notion that images allude to certain ideas whether

superficially or in more subtle connotations. The works and styles of the two artists

are contrasting in their use of media but approach similar ideas of ambiguity and the

manipulation of the viewer through the use of codes or lack of codes.

The work of Daniela Dlugocz (Master of Arts Visual Arts, Edith Cowan University and

Meisterschueler & DAAD Scholarship from Germany) analyses perception in the

physical and psychological sense. Images are drawn on dyed canvas creating a tone-on‐

tone picture which takes time and concentration for the image to be revealed to

the viewer. The atmosphere is created with limited shades of a colour which require

the viewer’s active contemplation.

Pat Thomas (Master of Arts Visual Arts, Edith Cowan University) focuses on the

analysis of images to which we are exposed through the media and their influence

on our understanding of our own place in the world. Her works include photographs

and prints sourced from popular mass media. These are then manipulated and sliced

reflecting the way stories are constructed for media consumption. The work explores

how the mass media, especially electronic media, becomes the landscape through

which we navigate our way in order to confirm or question our personal ethos.
