Katsu is a Byron Bay–based artist working with projection, kinetic surfaces, and patterned light. His installations create dynamic, evolving environments that respond to audience movement and architectural conditions, positioning light as both sculptural material and perceptual catalyst.
Participating in Northern Rivers immersive exhibitions, Katsu’s work foregrounds rhythm, repetition, and structure, inviting audiences to notice subtle changes as they navigate the space. The interplay of shadow, projection, and motion creates layered, temporally shifting experiences, situating viewers as co-authors of perceptual outcomes.
His studio practice bridges analogue and digital methodologies, exploring the intersections of craft, experimentation, and responsive media. Katsu documents his evolving visual language on Instagram, sharing glimpses of site-responsive builds, prototypes, and interactive installations while fostering dialogue with peers and audiences.
Želimir Harasty works across painting, sculpture, installation, and calligraphic gesture, exploring inheritance—cultural, material, and emotional. His installations employ structural composition and architectural logic to examine balance, repetition, and disruption, shifting the way audiences perceive and inhabit space.
After graduating with a BFA in Sculpture from National Art School in 2019, Harasty’s projects often began with lived experience: family histories, migration, and negotiation of belonging within his Chinese and European lineage. A residency in Foshan and Luohang, China informed works later presented in his solo exhibition Mask Off at Saint Cloche, where painting and sculptural elements integrate with calligraphy to explore memory, continuity, and cyclical time.
Alongside his studio practice, Harasty contributed to large-scale collaborative projects such as Haven City and the three-room installation Cloud Play. These immersive environments translate digital and sensory motifs into physical space, inviting audiences to explore, interact, and inhabit architectural landscapes reminiscent of early digital atmospheres. His practice remains rooted in materiality, personal and cultural histories, and the evolving structures of making.
Oliver Buckworth is a sculptor and spatial designer based in the Northern Rivers. His large‑scale installations, including Mars and Haven City (Byron Bay), transform reclaimed timber, demolition materials, and industrial salvage into walkable, modular environments. Audiences inhabit these structures, navigating ramps, platforms, and suspended forms that foreground material history, impermanence, and tactile discovery.
Oliver’s practice is deeply site‑responsive. He adapts to warehouses, gallery spaces, and regional arts programs, emphasizing the visual and spatial qualities of raw materials. Nail holes, weathering, and stress fractures are left exposed as markers of history, inviting audiences to explore and engage with the work physically. Projects like Drive Through extend this embodied approach, sequencing spatial narratives so visitors experience the work in motion, moving through environments that shift in rhythm, scale, and texture.
In addition to his sculptural and installation work, Oliver has collaborated on creative moving‑image projects and music videos with local directors and artists. His reimagination in set design and spatial composition have been sought out for regionally produced video works — where his structural environments provide atmospheric backdrops and dynamic spatial interplay for visual storytelling. This crossover into film and video extends his exploration of materiality and space into time‑based media, bringing his tactile, architecture‑informed aesthetic into dialogue with lens‑based narratives.
He studied Fine Art and Spatial Design in London, where he refined his understanding of modular architecture, public‑scale installation, and the dialogue between audience, structure, and environment. Sustainability remains central to his work: salvaged materials are carefully repurposed, and modular construction allows his installations to be rebuilt or reinterpreted in new contexts. Through these approaches, Oliver merges sculpture, architecture, and environmental consciousness into immersive, experiential narratives that are at once physical, reflective, and socially engaged.
