Ceramics

Zhu ohmu

Working under the pseudonym Zhu Ohmu, Melbourne ceramicist Rose Wei makes striking organic decorative vessels, created entirely using coiled clay.
Her practice is inspired by a passion for the environment. She creates her organic, almost amoebic vessels entirely by hand. ‘I’m interested in exploring the symbiotic relationship between humanity and nature, so working with and learning about botanic life is very important to me,’ she notes. ‘I like to think that I collaborate with plants, although some are easier to work with than others!’

Wood

Ariele Alasko

Ariele Alasko is a full-time sculptor working in wood.
The sublime wood sculptures and everyday object by Ariele Alasko represent an ode to the happy encounter between man and nature, a fusion of poetry and utility.

Metal

Nika Zupanc

Nika Zupanc’s Works Bring Inspiring Reports From The Outer Frontiers Of Technologies, Materials And Possibilities. She traditionally makes careful selections of her themes and forms. With them she offers an exciting look at the predominately male furniture-design market, where all the aspiration is poured into the technical, rational, sober, and utilitarian, as opposed to the intuitive, eclectic, vain, and hysterical. To accomplish this Nika Zupanc uses her poetic judgment, inner battles with stereotypes, and long-lasting affairs with technologies. She mindfully explores the limits of the industry when it comes to emotional effect and the juxtaposition of materials, both in product design and interiors.
