So very chuffed to be included in the VL50 for 2025.

|| SYNTHESIS ||

An immersive interior installation curated by Ruby Shields featuring over 40 artists, designers & makers.

Set within the Bishop’s Parlour at Abbotsford Convent, Synthesis explores how we live with design. Colour, material, light and scent held together, not in isolation, but in relationship.

At its core, Synthesis is about collective authorship. This isn’t about objects on plinths. It’s about what happens when everything comes together. Many voices, one interior language.

Opening Night ~ 16th May 6pm

Featuring works by:
Amy Vidler, Anne U, Angela Hayes, Astrid Salomon, Bel Williams, Bolaji Teniola, Cameron Green, Carl Broesen Studio, Craig Shanahan / Mood Workshop, Curtis Bloxsidge & 2am Close, Culture Cush, Dean Norton, Em Frank, Femme Brutale, Fools Glass, Georgia Harvey, Hannah Nowlan, Indigo Tolhurst, Jenny Jones, Jordan Fleming, Kelly Brown, KOEH Studio, Locki Humphrey, Marlo Lydia, Martyn Thompson, Max Copolou, Melvin Josy, Nicole Lawrence, Objects for Thought, Patrick Scott, Patrick Shields, Ro Noonan, Saturday Yard Work, Studio Dokola, Studio Kaytar, Studio Tops, Subject Matters, Sundance Studio, Tantri Mustika, Thannie Phan, Theodosius Ng, Thomas Maxam, Zoe Diacolabianos.

I’m very pleased to share my most recent commission — the Dromen Lamp with custom switch and dimmer.

Dromen [droːmə(n)] meaning ‘to dream explores forms which subtly shift from soft to hard, and the palette from light to dark and pays homage to Studio Tops’ ongoing exploration of materiality and functionality.

The Dromen Lamp is a fibreglass form cast with loose cane embedded in the substrate, giving the surface texture and allowing light to pass through with variation across the panel. The faceted front face is bevelled at the edges, directing the glow inward and forward. Available in raw (natural) or blackened fibreglass.

Issue No. 20 of @thelocalproject is out now, and I’m very honoured to be featured.

There’s so much that goes into making Studio Tops what it is — the hours of fabrication, the building of relationships, the ideation that happens long before anything takes physical form, and I’m always so grateful when that work is recognised.

Thank you to @thelocalproject and the wonderful Emily Riches for such considered words, and to @matthewmcquiggan, @tesskellyphotography, @florenceflorence_au and @phamstapham for the beautiful images.

As DONE/UNDONE drew to a close this weekend, I’ve been reflecting on the role @craftvictoria plays in shaping, identifying and amplifying the craft and design community in Melbourne and also across Australia. It’s a space that backs experimentation, material enquiry and creates room for meaningful work to exist.

Very grateful to have been part of this exhibition.

Convergence Light (2025) for DONE/UNDONE as featured in @vogueliving was built over several days and acts as a merging of oppositional forces.

I’m deeply proud to have been part of this show and would like to thank both @joseph_gardner and @craftvictoria for their trust and patience.

Curated by @joseph_gardner for @craftvictoria DONE/UNDONE explores the creative process as a space of constant negotiation — a series of decisions to build, erase, repeat, or let be.
