Opening: Wed 16 August, 6–8pm
Artist/s: Elise Sheehan & Martha Poggioli

Taking from the meaning of the verbs ‘form’ and ‘face’ and acting as a catalyst for Martha and Elise to generate new ideas, the words provide a framework to guide the production of ideas. The exhibition is the culmination of the artists’ solitary and collaborative investigations into the limitlessness of their mediums, and results in an expanse of finished objects, forced into existence through the lens of these two words.

About the Artist

Elise Sheehan
is a Melbourne based maker, who works across the disciplines of jewellery, object making and installation. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) in Object based Practice from RMIT University. Elise’s practice is anchored in simple shapes and forms in which the production, placement and consideration of multiple items or objects is paramount.  The emphasis on the arrangement and grouping of jewellery or objects to create landscapes, tableaux’s or scenes, allow her to explore a range of ideas related to succession, space, scale and the dualities of internal/external space or light and shadow.

Martha Poggioli’s
practice is guided by systems both abstract and concrete to create metaphors through objects and actions. It is a practice suspended between making for people and about people. Having emerged from a fashion discipline and she uses the medium of textiles through garment-making techniques to discuss perspectives of the body politic. Processes of making and function are central to her practice. Additionally, words, manifestos and methods of categorization often accompany and order objects and ideas.​
