Bonnie Wildie is an historian, librarian and archivist who
is passionate about communicating history and heritage
to the broader community. She also dabbles in the digital
humanities, and searches for new and innovative methods
that might challenge traditional notions of historical
research and information access. Bonnie has worked
at several of the premier cultural heritage institutions
in NSW. Her research interests include the roles of women
in Australian history, and local histories with a focus
on uncovering the voices of minorities. She has been
Assistant Curator, Exhibitions, at NSW State Archives since
mid-2018, and has played a key role in the development
and delivery of Marriage: Love and Law.
Freya Jobbins
South African born, South West Sydney based,
multidisciplinary contemporary artist Freya Jobbins’ practice
includes assemblage, collage, installation and video work.
She is best known for her provocative assemblages and
masks created from second hand flesh-toned dolls. Jobbins
is ostensibly a social commentator whose work is based
on appropriation, re-assemblage and subversion of preexistent objects and images, through which she explores
notions of identity, motifs and her own dissimulation. Freya
also creates larger site specific installations and sculptures
which emphasise her sustainable practice.
I like that my work is viewed as unexpected, humorous
and rather disturbing, with an emphasis on the importance
of craftsmanship, anatomical correctness and how it
touches on The Uncanny Valley Theory. I am a meticulous
craftswoman, a ‘plastic surgeon’ with a very sharp blade,
who relishes perfection and symmetry.
With a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Dip Fine Arts, Freya
has been included in over 30 group shows in Australia;
Sydney and regional NSW galleries, Melbourne, Adelaide
and Perth, and has exhibited internationally in New York,
San Francisco, Detroit, Tel-Aviv, Austria and recently in
Yorkshire, England. She has produced commissions for
collectors in Australia, USA, England, Abu Dhabi, Germany,
Italy and Norway.
