Driller Jet Armstrong Driller has been a working artists sine 1986. he designed the Adelaide Fringe Poster for the 1990 festival. In 1991 he became a Daubist. Of this he says "In my mind, every time I see a paitning of the Australian Landscape, I see the perpetuation of the myth of Terra Nullus and that is why I use it as the site for my examination of Australian identity and other related issues. "the relationship between the original work and the work of another artist forms a hybrid. An entirely new work is formed. The work by two different artists existing upon one surface is a metaphor for post-colonial discourse and highlights the potentials of the cutlural hybridity."
Alucius Turner A true individual, coming from a mixed heritage which includes Aboriginal, Indonesian and Anglo, Turner has a unique perspective when approaching design, construction and final product. His passion for designing and making has led him to discover his own heritage and its various social markers, drawing on them for inspiration for his furniture designs. He describes this intuition as having a "third eye on design". The past, present and future are all represented in his designs which give viewers and users a unique perspective on their environments and its possibilities in terms of function and an emotional connection to the object.
Charmain Hearder Growing up on the periphery of the groups and cliques of her peers, being unable to fully understand the subtleties of social interaction, Hearder developed a curious practice of observation: watching the people around her. Using these observations and the medium of clay, Hearder has melded the two to create unique three dimensional objects.
