Designwork 09 is Sophie Gannon Gallery’s 9th annual exhibition of works by some of Australia’s best designers.
This year’s exhibition features new work by represented designers Elliat Rich and Ashley Eriksmoen.
Elliat Rich is an artist, producer, researcher, experimenter and resource developer, plus other modes of practice that sit within her process as designer. She is based within the complex socio-bio-historical ecology of Alice Springs (Mparntwe). For Rich the design process is a creative translation between materials and culture, alive to a broader context of power and social value. Lead by curiosity, enriched through wonder and always calling on the possibilities of the imagination. Rich works with many distinguished clients and collaborators within central Australia and nationally. Her practice covers cross-cultural resources, exhibition design, public art and furniture design. Her limited-editioned object-orientated explorations are held in numerous public and private collections.
