CHEBart is the creative partnership between artists Deb Jones and Christine Cholewa. While they both maintain separate exhibition practices, they work together on larger public art projects and some exhibition work. With the aim of making work that looks great, functions well and is thoughtful they don’t preference any one material or set approach when working on public commissions and instead let each opportunity shape their practice in new ways.

Steven Cybulka’s practice encompasses sculpture and installation ranging from small scale gallery based work, through to large scale public commissions. Interested in manipulating space in order to elicit a heightened viewer response, he draws inspiration from Carl Jung’s texts on shadow play.

Julie Blyfield’s practice spans 30 years, her jewellery and object work inspired by research into botanical specimens, personal and historical silver collections, and the rich diversity of the Australian landscape. She interprets her subject matter predominately in precious silver using the techniques of metal chasing and surface chiseling.
