SHOPFRONT, 2004
Annika Harding‡
Oil on canvas
77 cm × 62 cm
‘This painting is the result of an exploration of Modernist practices. I
reinterpreted the theory of the Impressionists, using brushstrokes and the
depiction of light to portray what is represented.

refer to other Modernist ideas: ideas which may not have been developed if it
weren’t for Impressionism.’

RAPE: 03 CONFUSION, 2004

Chris Cook§
Digital Media
1024 × 768 pixels
‘Rape 03: Confusion, is part of a ten-image body of work dealing with the
emotional response to rape called Ravision. Rape 03: Confusion explores the
complex, overpowering and confusing emotions that may be experienced in
the aftermath of such a brutal ordeal.
‘The work was created in Photoshop and utilises layers, where images are
placed upon one another, slowly building up the complete work. There are
over one hundred individual objects in this work, in over fifty layers.
‘At first glance I wanted the image to overwhelm the viewer with far too
much detail. Drawing parallels with the emotional complexity of rape, this
image requires time and patience in order to reveal the detail. This detail is
very subtle and the closer the viewer looks the more can be discerned. In this
way I was hoping to convey the search for answers experienced by a rape
victim. I also varied the content in the image using photos, symbols, text,
graphs, shapes and graphics.’
