digital bamboo research collaboration

Artisans from Tasikmalaya and Garud in West Java have produced beautiful bamboo objects for many generations, yet sustaining these practices and a cohesive community faces increasing challenges from the movement of labour and enterprise from villages to cities as part of Indonesia’s ongoing modernisation. Digital Bamboo is a collaborative, practice-led research project that reflects upon these challenges and explores new ways of thinking and making in the 21st century, shaped by rapid changes to the social and material ecologies of making communities in Australia and Indonesia.

fragment c : charles darwin memorial cup

‘Fragment C: Charles darwin memorial cup’ reflects upon the interpretation of history through ceramic shards, drawing interpretive affiliations between documented and imagined historical events. The work, exhibited at Devise Gallery in Melbourne, is  one of a series of  up-scaled ‘shard’ works that form an alternative dialogue about ceramic archetypes and their significance.

The GM ‘Loop’ series explores the reversal of this condition, the translation of an embodied aesthetic from digital information to physical object.
