makette

Well that came around quickly. Makette opens tonight! Makette is a group exhibition, curated by Kart Projects, which I'm lucky to be a part of.

Makette looks at the side projects of eight designers. How do self initiated design explorations differ from work produced for specific clients, budgets and outcomes? What does this allow us to learn and how does it feed back into our main practice?

The other seven designers include textile designer/illustrator Beci Orpin, set designer Rafaella McDonald, fellow architects Bruce Rowe and Melita Tomic and Graphic Designers Adam Cascio, Stuart Geddes and Joel Priestland. I'm feeling very fortunate to exhibit alongside such great company.

For those that aren't local, the online catalogue will also launch tomorrow. The catalogue with continue to develop over time, providing an ongoing discussion on the topic. Read it here.
