chapter V ~ fragments
FRAGMENTS explores our fascination with techniques, materialities, archetypes through time periods, with a focus on combining Victorian era and military tropes. Through our design process we attempt to isolate these disparate references and merge them into a reconstructed visual story, honouring the traditions of the old while creating for the contemporary.

chapter IV ~ 001 POP UP
001 POP UP was a local designer market held in April 2022, that featured fashion, jewellery, art, homewares, performance, food and drink from a curated selection of emerging Melbourne creatives. Hosted at the Abbotsford Convent, the market was both a collaborative shopping opportunity and an immersive exhibition space. 001 POP UP facilitated the meeting of 34 cross-disciplinary artists and vendors in a considered, art-forward shopping environment. An exciting convergence of disciplines, the event exhibited each artist and their practice alongside their peers. 001 POP UP connected creators with the local community, allowing conscious shoppers to support a community hard-hit by the pandemic.

chapter I ~ negative capability
NEGATIVE CAPABILITY explored a parallel plane of senses, grappling with tensions between transience and mortality, permanence and change, romantic ideals and reality. This group installation showcased the work of twelve cross-disciplinary local creatives, and was presented at Marfa Gallery from the 23rd - 25th of April 2021. Each participating artist responded to the same prompt: Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats and his concept of 'Negative Capability'. Using their chosen medium, they presented their interpretation of this theme within five sensory spaces exploring textile, scent, sound, light, visual art, object, moving image and spatial architecture. Visitors were encouraged to journey through each landscape and physically interact with their surroundings.
