Fingerprints

EXHIBITED – alt.material ‘Community’ Melbourne Design Week 2022

Fingerprints is a moment in time snapshot of a living, vibrant community of craftspeople active in Melbourne. 13 independent makers were involved in the creation of this piece. Each was set a task to create the same simple repeated chip-carved pattern – and yet each created a pattern enlivened by the boldness, delicateness, hesitation, flippancy, impatience, self-doubt, compulsiveness, joy, and all other range of human personality written in the variegated carved strokes of each person.
