Shaped: Craft Victoria

Alexandra Standen

23 Nov 2021 - 22 Jan 2022

Alexandra Standen presents major new works in Craft Victoria’s exhibition, Shaped.

Shaped brings together more than 80 works by Australian artists in a maximalist exploration of the relationship between maker and material. Crafted in glass, wood, fibre, metal, ceramic and stone and including digital works by artists Bernadette Murray and Sam Price in collaboration with Lisa Waup, each work embodies innovation in contemporary making and the artist’s careful consideration of both material and process.
In Shaped, artists explore rich ideas through material transformation and storytelling— from tensions between function and aesthetic to technology and nature, culture and identity, and our experiences in lockdown.
