Craft Triennial 2024 - The Rite of Divinnation

A little excited about the upcoming IOTA24: Codes in Parallel exhibition at Fremantle Art Centre. IOTA24 showcases the work of international craft artists and groups from six Indian Ocean countries.

The Rite of Divination is a body of work that examines the psychological comfort that rituals can occupy within our lives - weaving narratives and materials drawn from my familial and cultural experiences, and map these to the esoteric and social constructs of my physical environment and its collective surroundings.

Exhibition: 17 August - 27 October, Fremantle Art Centre
