Glass is transformational. Light travels through it, reflects off its surface. It can be painted, etched, cut/broken, shaped/stretched, joined and added to. It can be worked in both it’s solid and molten state. It’s true boundaries are minimal and it’s variants almost unlimited

Nine Hills glass artists display their passion for the medium, showing their favoured methods to display the broad spectrum of modern glass.

Featuring artists Kirsten Laken, Christopher John, Emma Borland, Mark Ammermann, Susi Lingeman, Andy Bevan, Mark Howard, Brenda Page & Kristin McFarlane.

The Sentinel Series is dedicated to my father Mohamed Fauzee (1934 – 2021)

who encouraged and inspired my art and who instilled within me an appreciation of Nature.

ARTIST – YJ FAUZEE
I am a visual artist who has a strong connection with and respect for the natural environment. This body of work seeks to give homage to nature and the wisdom within.

My art depicts a fusion of the living forces as they emerge within the world around us through colour, line, and space. Throughout my work there is movement and presence. The play of light and shadow offers opportunities for reflection.

CONCEPT
During times of adversity and times of need, we seek beyond our own selves – we look to the mountains, to the horizon and beyond. We take refuge in wild places. This body of work explores Sentinels around us. Those we may sense but not see. These are watchful and ancient, they dwell within forests, mountains, and the depths of the ocean.

ARTWORK
The Sentinel Series is composed of 9 works created with acrylic paint, chalk, and pastel on stretched canvas.

Tilting Away, Leaning In: a personal journey from anxiety & depression to artistic expression.

Working with my grandfather’s 1960’s medium format film camera I create images intuitively through the lens, in moments of creative flow, using multiple exposures and the element of chance.

The works are a realisation of being part of nature, the importance of place and the significance of ancestry and belonging.
