Blackstone Gallery: Art-Science Exhibition

The recent phenomena of Zoom inspired my work during the ongoing COVID pandemic. Over the past two years, I spent over 5 hours a day with work, social and community meetings on Zoom; the result is a large series of Zoom-based drawings.  This is an experience I have chosen to explore in this artwork; Zoom Gardens.

Estelle Leishman is a Visual Communications honours student working and researching on Awabakal land. Her practice involves foraging for natural ingredients which she then processes into ink, something which then inspires the paintings she makes.

My crochet sculptures are a visual exploration of the intricate interplay between scale and bifurcation, inviting viewers to contemplate the mesmerizing beauty of mathematical patterns in nature. These two pieces are a testament to the power of creativity and craftsmanship, crafted meticulously with hook sizes ranging from 4mm to 9mm.
