Artist/s statement
A Handmade Life Collective is made up of 6 local Artisans whose work ranges from stitching, printing, and felting to jewellery-making and assemblage. For the past 8 years the Collective have enjoyed the mutual support of exhibiting together and holding community workshops. At the Chrissie Cotter Gallery this year, they will not only be extending their individual practices but have invited 5 more artisans to join them, in a showcase exhibition and series of events and public workshops. The exhibition coincides with Sydney Craft Week and explores the liminal space between art and craft.
