Dr Anthony Fryatt is an academic and designer. He leads the Master of Interior Design program at RMIT University and collaborates with Roger Kemp through the research-led design practice Making Distance. Taking a scenographic and contingent approach to making, works include drawings, diagrams, models, and installations that seek to offer a participatory interior encounter.

She has participated in several solo and group exhibitions, has held residencies in Paris and New York, and has won and placed in numerous art, landscape and urban design competitions and awards.

Liz is an interior designer and educator. Her ongoing practice is concerned with temporary conditions of space through the design of immersive experiences embedded within the urban environment. Ongoing works explore thresholds, ambiguous materials and dematerialization of space through screen-based installations.

Her current doctoral work titled ‘Space in Transition’ examines interior experience within spaces that “move you” and spaces that you “move past”. This research engages with questions pertaining to urban environments and the role of physical space and in a post-digital age.
