EXPLORING THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN BODY, NATURE AND SKIN

As we feast our senses with exotic stimuli, recollection of our experience is predominantly occupied by visuals. Seemingly logical, until we occasionally encounter a familiar scent that triggers memory more vivid than any spectacle, or a distinct tactile quality that allows us to instantly identify an object.

The curatorial vision of this exhibition is undergirded by a clear focus on the tactile qualities and perceivance of felt textures as a medium for the creator’s message. The artworks by Maria Ignacia Walker, Belinda Chang and Alex Tsai communicate through articulated forms and rich surface textures in their selected works. The motley assortment of intriguing artefacts shares the vision of channelling qualia into hypothetical existence, where each artist presents their own narrative via the holy trinity of creative practices; that is, design, craftsmanship and choice of material elements.

The selected works exemplifies sentiments crossing the threshold of human psyche and rendering them tangible. It takes our audience on a journey through the extraordinary virtuosity of artisans, peering into their own approach to interpreting and actualising abstractions which illustrate to these three creative principles.
