The Mother and Child cabinet explores the dual definitions of emergence – as processes that make something visible after being concealed, or to bring something into existence. A departure from the riot of colour usually present in their work, the concentric lines are amplified, accentuating form, while the properties of straw direction create a spectrum of tone and texture within the confines of black and white.

The use of graphic, vivid contrast and emergence processes echoes the sensibilities and metamorphosis theme in the work of M.C. Escher and a shared love of visual puzzles.

Opening event and artist talk as part of Melbourne Design Week: Saturday 19 March 2022, 1pm-4pm.
