Four minimalistic landscape paintings featuring lakes and mountains with abstract figures with long legs, each in black, white, and beige tones, displayed on a pink wall.

Title

Designers with long legs

Objects have a way of echoing human emotions, silently bearing witness to the lives they inhabit. In this series, Designers with Long Legs, I reimagine four iconic designs through the lens of nostalgia and loneliness, exploring how these objects take on human characteristics and emotional depth. Each piece reflects a moment of quiet introspection, where form and function blur into something more intimate—a presence that feels both familiar and distant, like a memory just out of reach.

A Part of the Furniture

The Psyche of the Stationary is a multi-medium pursuit of humanity in the inanimate as expressed by 11 local and interstate artist, designers, makers and illustrators. Explore the most obscure, obscene, and obstreperous corners of the mental upstairs lounge room, through this experiment in instilling and uncovering life in the lifeless objects that adorn our existence.

Held at Newsagency Gallery, 332 Stanmore Rd, Petersham 2049.​​​​​​​
