When former Blayney High School student Amelia Medbury's art work "Perspectives of a Negative Space" was chosen to be a part of ARTEXPRESS last year, the inspiration came from some of those quiet moments in our life when we're unencumbered by the demands of the electronic age.
Now in a slight piece of irony her work has been chosen as part of the ARTEXPRESS Virtual 2022 to allow her work to be seen by the entire world.

Now in its third year, the exhibition uses world-leading 3D technology to create an authentic gallery experience in the virtual world where viewers can "walk" around artworks and virtually lift them up.
Amelia said in her description of the work that it represents the negative space between social performance and duty.
'It explores themes of feminism, domestic stereotypes and mental illness indirectly by using a private setting where a person is often left to their own thoughts and prospects of nihilism, self-realisation and physical detachment,' it reads.
