About the Artists
Jess Bradford
Jess Bradford is a Singaporean-born and Gadigal/Sydney-based artist working across painting, drawing, ceramics, and installation. Her work is informed by her mixed-race heritage, and she explores representations of cultural identity, hybridity, memory and transculturation in her multimedia practice.
Bradford’s work has been exhibited at various institutions and art spaces including Blacktown Arts Centre (2024), Wagga Wagga Art Gallery (2023), Gallery of South Australia (2019), Carriageworks (2019), 4A Center for Contemporary Asian Art (2019), and Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (2015). In 2019 Bradford was a participant of the 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art Beijing studio residency with Shen Shaomin, and in 2018 she was a resident at the Parramatta Artists’ Studios.
Marisa Mu
Marisa Mu is an interdisciplinary artist currently based between Melbourne and New York. Her work explores themes of Queer Expression, Intersectional Feminism, The Asian Diaspora and Body Liberation. In 2019, she was awarded the Emerging Artist of The Year Award and was featured on the Cover of Broadsheet Magazine for her latest culturally significant body of work ‘With Pleasure’. She has completed her studies at National Art School and the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales.
Her livelihood as an artist explores the multiplicity of her identity, allowing intuition and curiosity about being a third culture kid navigating their queerness and sense of place come to the forefront. She is Australian born with East Timorese and Hakka Chinese lineage with her arts practice negotiating complex narratives, weaving the personal and political through painting, sculpture, installation, poetry and performance.
With her focus on the amalgamation of her personal narratives and cultural histories, her visual story-telling and literary works are about overcoming loss, instilling hope, remembering the past and understanding universal love languages ascend generations. Her works share a unique perspective on diasporic experiences, cultural preservation, and the intersectionality of queer identities.
Through harnessing her Hakka and East Timorese heritage, language and QBIPOC storytelling, she advocates and brings these largely under-represented narratives vividly to the surface. The rigorous research and experimentation within her practice enables her to generate thought-provoking and socio-politically engaging activations, creating culturally relevant resources for our collective future.
Remy Faint
Remy Faint is a contemporary artist working across painting, sculpture and installation. His practice traverses global histories and languages of painterly abstraction, drawing on collection- based objects and materials connected to his Chinese heritage to investigate themes of opacity, cultural exchange and the imaginative possibilities of inherited histories.
Silk is central to Remy’s work, as both surface a subject, combined with processes of assemblage and collage that build toward a visual language moving between wall-based painting and expanded sculptural forms. His large-scale installations and ceramic sculptures negotiate spaces between formal display strategies and more speculative modes of presentation, responding to architectural settings as active frames for how cultural identity is displayed, obscured or made legible.
Remy is a current studio resident at Artspace, Sydney. He has presented solo exhibitions at UNSW Galleries, Cement Fondu, Cassandra Bird Sydney and Paris, Mosman Art Gallery and Craft Victoria, and has shown at venues such as the Art Gallery of NSW, Rockhampton Museum of Art, Artspace, Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, among others. He has been awarded the Tim Olsen Drawing Prize and the Gosford Art Prize, and was a finalist in the 2024 Create NSW Visual Arts Fellowship (Emerging) and the 2025 Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship. In addition to his art practice, Remy is also a casual academic at UNSW Art and Design.
Emma Rani Hodges
Emma Rani Hodges lives and works on the unceded lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples. They are ฉันเป็นลูกของ ไทย ออสเตรเลียน ‘Chan pen luk khrueng Thai Australia’, which in English translates to ‘I am the child of Thailand and Australia’.
Their practice navigates their family’s lived experience of migration,everchanging relationships to folklore and spirituality, as well as recollections of personal and community histories. Hodges considers these topics in relation to place (colonised land) and society. They articulate their ideas through a fluctuation of found object assemblage, mixed media textiles and painting.
