Hold is new body of sculptural work by Meredith Turnbull, an artist based on the lands of the Kulin Nation. The exhibition examines morphology and the intertwining nature of material in our designed environments, combining approaches to sculpture, adornment and contemporary jewellery practices. The project is inspired by the material ingenuity and abstract and formal conventions of iconic artists Ruth Asawa (Japanese American,1926-2013) and Isa Genzken (German, b. 1948). The project also responds to art historical sources in decorative metalwork from English, Scottish and French, Arts and Crafts, Art Deco and Art Nouveau traditions across interior design and wearable scales. Hold explores how humans can honour living and non-living material and engage with the ethics of material use connecting us to different ecologies and our environment.

Participants

Meredith Turnbull
Meredith Turnbull is a Melbourne-based artist, curator and writer. Turnbull’s practice focuses on human connections to the world of objects and things; making and material, and the experiential and temporal register of forms. Meredith’s participatory projects, sculptural practice and photography explore desire and pleasure in art making and art experiences and traverse lived connections between the fields of contemporary art, craft and design. As an artist she is committed to an inclusive approach to art form, genre, and practice and processes for diverse ages and experiences. Her work encourages audiences to think about how we engage with objects and material to connect to each other and the worlds around us.
