Fiona Myer White Story Residency 2024

Artist in Residence

W H I T E S T O R Y

In 2023, I was awarded the Fiona Myer White Story Residency for my Masters of Contemporary Art graduate show at the Victorian College of the Arts.

As part of the award, I was invited to work alongside pattern-makers, designers and craftspeople at Fiona Myer's Melbourne-based clothing label, White Story. I used this time to refine a series of functional sculptures and fine line drawings that employ principles of Minimalism and speak to White Story’s philosophy of pure form and simplicity. These meticulous artworks were created using methodical hand crafted processes and intuitive geometry to explore how potential can diverge from systems of order, such as a monochrome palette and repetitive lines.

This residency culminated in an exhibition in the vast warehouse space above the White Story studio in Cremorne.
