Melanie Ball – Victoria<br />
Frustration with Melbourne women wearing boring black, the desire to<br />
brighten lives, and travels around Australia and the world inspired me<br />
to decorate jackets - and continue to inspire the wearable artworks I<br />
fashion under the Appliquez Moi label.<br />
All my jackets are commissioned one-offs that let me indulge my<br />
creativity while blocking out everything else in my head except fabric,<br />
texture, shape and colour. You can see some of the results at<br />

My family has had two close calls with breast cancer and I am delighted<br />
to support breast cancer research by donating a jacket for auction<br />

Melinda Schawel - Victoria<br />
Parkverbot 27/32 etching<br />
The upper panel of German text in Parkverbot (Parking forbidden), was<br />
taken directly from a street sign in Zürich, transferred photographically<br />
onto a copper plate, and then etched. The cloudy middle panel<br />
represents the confusion inherent in the translation process and the<br />
red bridge at the bottom refers to bridging the gap between cultures<br />
when words alone cannot.<br />
From Kasterlee XXV 1/1 etching<br />
From Kasterlee XXV was one of a series of monoprint etchings created<br />
during a residency in Kasterlee, Belgium. It is based on excerpts from<br />
antique letters and postcards that I collected throughout Europe and is<br />
a reminder of the time that was invested to sustain and nurture<br />
personal relationships through the ritual of putting pen to paper.<br />
