Inspiration for This Work

Nurturing the practice of traditional Filipino embroidery, whilst bringing it into a new and modern context, so as to ensure its survival and the subsequent livelihood of local artisans.

The key to this idea of reframing and re-contextualisation is that the market and purpose for the textiles is broadened. This proposal reframes the textiles; a change from purely existing as formal wear, to a contemporary interior design installation, culminating in a unique and a desirable jewellery object. What is crucial and of utmost importance is that the traditional craftsmanship and techniques involved in the production of the textiles remain unaltered.

Student Biography

When were you born?

New years day 1984.

What is your background?

Born and bred in Sydney, with an inkling of a European background. (Dad is Czech and Mum is German).

What inspired you to become an artist or designer?

In all seriousness I blame pre-school and the excessive time allocated to finger painting.

How has your work evolved over the past 3 years?

I have stopped trying to figure out the borders between art and design, and instead am rather chuffed by the flirtatious relationship between the two. I think deep down they really like each other but are sometimes to shy to show it…

How can art and design contribute to society?

Art and design have potentially amazing capabilities to contribute to society. When used well they are powerful tools that can help communicate, solve, express, educate, provoke, reflect, inspire… the list goes on. That’s what is exciting.

Where would you like to work after university?

With good people, doing great work.
