Till Julien
Till Julien is a textile artist creating contemporary hand screen printed textiles for the home and by, from her studio in southern Tasmania. Through her textile practice Till explores relationships between the illustration of living forms and the creation of printed cloth and functional objects.
Her design philosophy focuses on combining elements from the natural world and placing these forms and patterns into domestic interiors, aiming to produce work with a conscience of sustanability and beauty.
“I am inspired by the capability of what a seed or bulb can transform into and to reveal what was living and growing under the soil. It's exciting for me to illustrate these living forms, into bold and
playful prints for cloth and functional objects.”

Christine Hannan
Christine Hannan works in the mediums of glass, printmaking and painting.
Her work is informed by artistic processes that allow these materials to be combined. A deep understanding of the forms that these materials can take as they are transformed from one state to another is a fundamental aspect of her process.
Organic patterns that are found in the landscape - decay, erosion, tide and wind - can be seen in the lines and shapes of her work. At times, glass accents are added to prints and paintings to accentuate these designs.
