Relic

Editorial series exploring the intersection of craft, design, and art in Western Australia.

2019


Presenting a cross-section of Western Australian artists whose work spans disciplines traditionally separated into craft, design, and art, Relic reflects the growing recognition of practices that have long operated across such distinctions, foregrounding work shaped by material knowledge, process, experimentation, and its positioning within contemporary cultural contexts.

The full series and an accompanying essay were published in Fulcrum's inaugural issue of its design publication, Fulcrum Journal, Issue 00 (Pivot).
