By Texture, The Capitol, Melbourne
Melbourne Design Week, 2021
By Texture, was an exhibition of textiles to explore the place we live in and promote conversation about identity and belonging. By creating casts and moulds of conventional surfaces unique to Melbourne and translating them into fabric prints, the exhibition provides a unique view of the materiality of City of Melbourne. Responding to the question, “how does materiality helps us to understand our surroundings and sustain our identity”, the work provides a critical observation of the world were we recognise and draw connections between cultural materiality and the social construction of the City.
