Prof Richard Goodwin is one of Australia’s most
renowned sculptors having won a significant
number of prestigious art awards over the years
for both his small works and his large-scale
public art. Richard is committed to teaching
and investigating the functional boundaries
ascribed to the physical dimensions of public
space. Richard’s personal projects and the
COFA Porosity Studio’s research seek to revise
the public space of the city through public art.
Richard is a Professor and researcher at COFA.
Panel
Joni Taylor is a curator and writer with a focus on
the urban environment. She is a founding member
of the international artist group and blog Free
Soil. In her work she aims to present radical ways
of envisioning and responding to our landscapes.
She is currently enrolled in a Masters Research
Degree about experimental architecture and
utopian city ideas.
Tessa Rappaport & Karl Logge are Sydney-
based artists and co-directors of Makeshift, who
collaborate together on a wide range of projects
spanning sculpture and installation, drawing,
printmaking, performance and design. Their
interdisciplinary works are characterised by mobility
and making-do, often appearing as temporary, site-
responsive interventions that activate public spaces
and provoke new ways of interacting with urban and
‘natural’ environments. Both teach at COFA and
curate exhibitions.
Hannah Young currently works as part of the three-
person design team of Anagram Studio based in
The Trophy Room, a shared studio space in Surry
Hills. She was awarded a traveling scholarship
from the British Council in 2009 to attend the
Cityscapers: Cardiff Chimera 2020, a Porosity
Studio with Prof Richard Goodwin, where at she
developed the basis of her personal practice
exploring the relationship between the body and
the built form. Hannah is a recent COFA design
graduate (Environments & Textiles).

Nikki di Falco, inspired by the book Invisible

Cities, is undertaking research in the area of cine
metropolis. Her work focuses on the distortions
of film cities, either intentionally or accidentally Program Details will be available at

methods in creating true and fabricated cities.
Nikki is a lecturer in the COFA School of Design
Studies, where she is also enrolled in a Master of
