DESIGNER

Annie Paxton is a multidisciplinary designer based between Naarm/Melbourne and Berlin. She works as an architect alongside her creative practice which navigates the juncture between architecture and furniture/object, with a keen interest in how design drives and is driven by the poetics of everyday life. With the tendency to imbue works with patina and the trace of the hand, the interrogation of time/process as a material is often a salient driver in her practice.

PAINTER

Chantal is an Australian artist who grew up in many outback and small country towns throughout Australia in an era where outdoor play was the mode of life.

She now calls the Gippsland region with its beautiful natural landscapes home.

Chantal is interested in how we live on the earth in a way that reduces our impact and cares about this in both her work practices and the way she lives.

Chantal often uses natural ochres and pigments that are native to the places that hold deep meaning for her.
