Proudly part of Radiant Pavilion 2021

U R B A N F A B R I C is an online photographic presentation of temporary, outdoor, site specific interventions of small wearable and sculptural pieces into Melbourne’s CBD. These works continue my exploration into the built environment, our experience of, and relationship to it, and how it reflects our societal considerations back to us. The language of materials, placement, texture and colour conveys notions of purpose, function, hierarchy and how these impact us as individuals and a collective.

Blurring the boundary between aesthetics of high craft and functional minimalism, and exploring opposing notions of camouflage and high visibility, the pieces reflect the nature of our place within urban space and how the Covid19 pandemic has informed how we define ourselves and relate as individuals during this time. Introvert/extrovert, essential/non-essential, positive/negative, vaccinated/unvaccinated are terms that have come to the fore, and have many questioning their place and purpose in this ever changing paradigm.
