Exhibition - Project 8 Gallery, Collins St, Dec 2024.

This work explores ideas around the value of different materials. Scarcity, rarity, beauty and function all intersect to give value to materials that we make, dig, mine and create. Inspired by the historical evolution from ancient to modern coins, and trade in 'strange currencies' of giant stone discs, cowrie shells and feathers. It investigates how material worth has changed and continues to evolve, while also delving into themes of fakes, reproduction, and substitution.
