Elliat Rich – 7 June 2023
Elliat Rich is an artist, producer, researcher, experimenter and resource developer, plus other modes of practice that sit within her process as a designer. She is based within the complex socio-bio-historical ecology of Mparntwe Alice Springs.

For Rich the design process is a creative translation between materials and culture, alive to a broader context of power and social value. Lead by curiosity, enriched through wonder and always calling on the possibilities of the imagination.
She is in the deep time / present matrix of designing a new mythology of cellular-cosmology and poly-temporal ways of being through Mythica Ignota; A Compendium of the Oscillocene, vol. 2:1.

Rich works with many distinguished clients and collaborators within central Australia and nationally. Her practice covers cross-cultural resources, exhibition design, public art and furniture design. Her limited edition object-orientated explorations are held in numerous public and private collections.

Rich spends her winters taking long walks in one of the adjacent central deserts with her family in a camel-drawn wagon.

Neville Assad-Salha – 14 June 2023**
Neville Assad-Salha has been working with clay over a forty-year period. He studied at the South Australian School of Art and then ran his own studio in the Barossa Valley before going on to work in many Universities and Art Schools throughout Melbourne, Victoria and Adelaide, South Australia. During his widely accomplished career, he has headed departments at the Meat Market Craft Centre, The Victoria College of the Arts, the Jam Factory Contemporary Craft and Design Centre and also the Adelaide College of Arts, as well as being a Research Fellow at the University of South Australia. Neville currently shares his time between his role as a Professor of Fine Arts in Lebanon and his home in the Barossa Valley, Australia.

Neville's works are in many private collections and also in State Galleries in Australia. He has been commissioned for many pieces of work including the Sydney Opera House.

Assad-Salha's works look closely at space (not what space is but what it represents – a metaphor for space). Many of his works relate to the vessel form. This in turn, reflects the image of the human form being the vessel along with some structural sculptural forms looking at architectural constructions being the tomb (a place of birth, a place of living, a place of death).
