Brisbane-based artist Christina Waterson brings to her work a unique perspective as a Queenslander and as an architect. Her art explores strong shapes and intricate structures in small to large-scale pieces.

Christina will next week open her new solo show at the exciting pin-up architecture and design project space in Collingwood. The exhibition, titled Trace, “maps and connects the underlying conceptual ideas” of Christina’s practice, informed by her recent Winston Churchill Fellowship research project.

An evolution of her previous works in timber, metal and acrylic, Trace presents works in ’softer’ materials such as rubber, leather and felt, produced using artisan techniques, from leatherwork and sewing, to beading and macramé.

To date, Christina’s works have focussed on sharp lines and geometries, however this latest portfolio of work takes on softer forms of tactile curves and arabesques. “The new collection embodies a 3-dimensional ’trace’, sketch or echo of past trajectories,” Waterson explains.

The exhibition opens on Thursday 15 March 2012 from 6–9pm at the pin-up project space in Collingwood.

Dates

Opening night: Thu 15 Mar, 6–9pm
Exhibition: 15 Mar–12 May, 2012

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.

A new chapter of Herman Miller’s design continuum: Kim Colin and Sam Hecht named Global Creative Directors

After two decades of creative partnership, Kim Colin and Sam Hecht of Industrial Facility step into a joint role as Herman Miller’s Global Creative Directors – a reminder that the brand’s ethos isn’t defined solely by their products, but also by the quiet thread of thought that shapes the space in-between, crafting a purposeful, human-centric and enduring trajectory.
