Thomas Hirschhorn is a Swiss artist. Trained in Zurich and inspired by Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol. He has become known for using everyday materials in the creation of complex large sculptures. Here he uses- fiber-glass mannequins, metal nails, metal screws, plastic base timber. It emits a shocking response. Once close to the piece the viewer is greatly affected both it physically and mentally. The feeling of pain, harm and suffering is evoked. After the initial reaction of harm, the viewer may turn to analysing the work, in which may lead them to self reflection, on ones current life situation.

The Social Outfit a sustainable fashion brand, have collaborated with one of their own Sewing Technicians and Artist, Chatcha, to develop a standout monochrome print depicting an array of faces of refugees that has been screen printed on donated cotton. The original 'Li Phay’ artwork was masterfully sewn and embroidered onto a quilt and then developed into a digital print by Chatcha and Sonya Price-Kelly. The screen printed, fabric was sewn locally by their team of sewers in Marrickville, Sydney into a brand new collection inspired by Chatcha's unique style.https://thesocialoutfit.org/collections/li-phay?utm_source=liphaylaunch&utm

Montreal based fashion designer and professor Ying Gao has achieved distinction through her creative ideas exhibited around the world. She questions our assumptions by combining clothing & fashion design, product design and media design and explores the construction of garments. Taking inspiration from the transformations of the social and urban environment. Design is the medium, situated in the technological and the textile realm: sensory technologies allow garments to become more poetic and interactive. Her work testifies to the profound mutation of the world in which we live and carries with it a radical critical dimension that transcends technological experimentation.  

Currently showing at the White Rabbit Gallery in Sydney. This work has been carefully created by hand. It recreates Beijing’s Central business district using delicate white porcelain sitting atop a bed of rice. Jhou Jie explains that rice come up from the ground, and the buildings come up from the ground, BUT they are not natural. Miniature structures and roads are transformed into fantastical coral-like growths. These forms express the artists view that expansions mirrors, the insidious spread of a virus. whiterabbitcollection.org/artist/zhou-jie/
