The 2014 Quarry Editorial Team
Semester two 2014 has seen a vast array of changes to the Quarry. These changes are thanks to the work of the editorial team, led by Michelle Hamadache, who ensured that Issue #5 of the Quarry is the best journal we could have crafted. This page is dedicated to recognising the incredible efforts of the Editorial Team.
During our weekly debriefs, plans were made, work was divided, and war stories told. While many students found common time to discuss the work in person, other members involved themselves electronically. We made radical changes to the visual and fundamental structure of the Quarry website. Furthermore, we created a social media presence, printed posters, and edited and formatted the forty-seven pieces that make up Issue #5 of the Quarry.
A special thanks to Jing, Josh, and Nick, who took time out of their mid-semester break to perform open heart surgery on the Quarry’s website, as well as their tireless efforts throughout the semester. Not only have their efforts provided a gorgeous platform for the contributors to share their writing on, but they also ensured the editorial teams of future issues will have an easy and well-documented process for producing their edition.
We thank Ben Cubby, Deputy Editor of Sydney Morning Herald, who took the time to share his wealth of experience and helped design our model for the editing process.
As a contributor to Issue #5 of the Quarry, and a member of the Editorial Collective, I am grateful for the work and dedication of each person. It’s thanks to their innumerable hours of work that we can all be proud of the Quarry.

The Seed Cover:
The objective was to create an image that was extensive enough to represent the theme and everyone’s eclectic works. I didn’t want to give the Seed figure a specific identity, as the vagueness helped widen the meaning of the piece. A gender would’ve given the work more meaning than just the theme of “SEED” so I left it rather ambiguous. The style of the robotics is steam-punk as it incorporates period pieces along with industrial, more futuristic context works. That range being what I saw amongst those in my class. I chose the biology of the creature to bring together the idea of industry mechanics, humanity and the concept that from these two forces can spring forth an idea from the mind and the machine. This piece was done in pencil, water colour and afterwards, computer editing.
