Curtin graduate Erin Coates’ (BA Arts Hons, 2002) stunning ceiling-to-floor waterfall installation, ‘Never The Same River Twice’ is captivating audiences at the 23rd Biennale of Sydney. The waterfall installation of oyster shells was inspired by her childhood in Albany, free-diving expeditions in the Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan River) and the impact of colonisation on the river. “This work is quite personal to me. It’s about the interconnection of environmental and human health, and the many small acts of healing that I engaged in while creating this work,” Erin said. In her tiny studio Erin boiled and scrubbed over 10,000 oyster shells discarded by local restaurants before intricately drilling and stitching each onto an eight-metre-long mesh backing. Her advice for any graduates wanting to become full-time professional artists is to find your people and make stuff happen. “Build a community around you by being generous, supportive and engaged in what other artists are doing.” For more pics of Erin’s incredible sculptural work check out #CurtinCommons via link in bio. 👆 📸: @joshuamorrisphotography #CurtinGrad #CurtinCommunity #Sydney #Bienniale #artist #artwork #perthart #perthcreatives #artwork #artanddesign #perthisok #perthtodo

We love to see the WA School of Mines Alumni grow each year! 👏🎓 Last week we recently welcomed an exceptional batch of young graduates at its annual Kalgoorlie Graduates Dinner. The new graduates shared this milestone with six 50-year graduates who celebrated their anniversary and shared their words of invaluable wisdom. The biggest takeaway from the night was Blackstone Minerals Limited MD Scott Williamson keynote speech that encouraged the graduates to be excited about their futures but ready to meet the challenges of the ever-evolving industry. We can’t wait to see what these talented bunch of graduates do next! 💫 📸: Remote Digital Imagery #CurtinGrad #WASM #wasmmece #waschoolofmines #scienceandengineering #STEM #STEMgraduates
