You could see these objects as: ‘Gadgets for a creature learning to experience intimacy’.

Maker Makiko Ryujin & I had weekly meets in her studio, playing around with found materials, using dead cable wires and industrial waste from the warehouse. 

The key themes of this collection are: creating with found materials, masks, wearables, and the concept of intimacy. Makiko has a background in sculpture, while my expertise lies in small objects and jewelry.

Our collection of  adhoc works were exhibited at a small makers market in coburg on May, 23rd, 2024.
