Stories In Form — Elliat Rich
Thursday January 26 2012
Welcome to the fourth and penultimate installment in our series profiling the designers and their work featured in Stories In Form, on at Object Gallery from 27 January to 24 March 2012. For more information on the exhibition click here, and click here to catch up on the rest of the series, including an introduction from curator Jacqueline Power.
You may already be familiar with Elliat Rich, as she won an episode of ABC’s New Inventors back in 2008. She is an Alice Springs based designer and inventor (and part-time explorer) who graduated from the College of Fine Arts with Honours in 2006 and now runs a ‘conceptual design studio investigating the edges of sustainable design and client-orientated practice that takes on a rich variety of briefs; from logos to public art.’
Stories In Form — An Introduction
Friday January 20 2012
As the curator of Stories in Form I am thrilled to be able to introduce this exciting exhibition. So what makes this exhibition special?
I believe that a particularly exciting aspect of this exhibition is that all of the pieces on display are products – they have the potential to be manufactured in large numbers. These are the types of items that owners often seem to cherish the least because they lack personalisation.
What makes us love our belongings? Often the things we cherish the most have little monetary value but have an unseen value – they may remind us of a person, a place or a special moment. The object becomes a receptacle for stories.
