Pixie Albert Reflection
HOUSECAT
There’s a lot of colour and humour in Housecat’s work. Breakout at the Zoo depicts a scene very like a prison break. One of the zoo cats—maybe the ringleader?—is disguised as security. Examining the CCT footage, we see a variety of inmates breaking through the wall. Twinkling stars and moonlight show they waited for cover of darkness. Who’s now on the run? Roll call, please! If they hope to stay free, they might need to lose the giraffe—he’s clearly their lookout, but can he keep his head down?

ARTIST REFLECTIONS
By Pixie Albert
Writer and artist Pixie Albert offers intimate glimpses into seven works featured in CONVERGENCE through personal written responses.
Rather than traditional descriptions, these reflections capture the emotional resonance and individual experience of encountering each artwork. Albert's poetic observations invite audiences to see through fresh eyes, revealing hidden layers and unexpected connections within the exhibition.
These contemplative pieces can be read or listened to, adding a rich dimension to the visual experience, and demonstrating how art speaks differently to each of us.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Housecat, who joined Find Your Voice Collective in 2025, describes himself as an “explorer of worlds,” “god of gangsters,” and “friend to all critters.”
His bold visual style is deeply influenced by the cartoons and movies he grew up with—Back to the Future, ET, and the films of Studio Ghibli.
While seemingly playful on the surface, Housecat’s work explores universal themes of kindness, absurdity, horror, and radical acceptance, offering a layered and thought-provoking visual language.
FIND YOUR VOICE COLLECTIVE
Gunditjmara Country (Warrnambool)
The Find Your Voice Collective Studio Arts Program launched in 2025. During this time, the program has made significant strides in providing a safe, nurturing, and creatively rich environment for emerging visual artists.
Designed to support and guide artists in developing their unique style, story, and practice within the visual arts, the program plays a vital role in fostering creative growth. Building on this strong foundation, the program aims to scale its impact, grow visibility, and enhance opportunities for artists locally, nationally, and internationally.
Find Your Voice Collective Studio Arts Program operates as part of a broader organisation that was founded in 2022. This organisation began with the Find Your Voice Choir and has since expanded to offer a full suite of world-class, innovative, and accessible creative arts initiatives across music, theatre, and exploratory art forms.
