Home Run

Improper Structures, Creo Gallery 2022

The Home Run series features five soft-woven trophies to be awarded for our collective achievements. Over the last two years, the connection between individual and community has been rendered even more explicit. Just like primary school cross-country day, we are all entitled to a participation award during a global pandemic.

Each trophy is handwoven using coil basketry and knotting techniques. The vessels themselves are soft and malleable; the perfect domestic object when home comfort is everything.

Part of Melbourne Design Week 2022, an initiative of the Victorian Government in collaboration with the NGV.
