Event details
Transformative and thought-provoking, Maryam Ebtekar and Michelle Trewin reimagine everyday household litter as artworks that are meaningful, beautiful and enduring.
Ebtekar challenges perceptions of craft, value and consumption by creating sculptural and wearable works from recycled paper pulp. Drawing on her Iranian heritage, she takes inspiration from the intricate tile patterns of Persian architecture, reinterpreting these forms in a contemporary, eco-conscious context.
Using materials such as dryer lint and thread, Trewin evokes the rich textures of rocks, grasses and natural landscapes. Her purposeful pairing of medium and subject invites reflection on how everyday lifestyle choices impact our environment.
‘Precious Fibres’ channels the transformative potential of art to inspire connection, community and care for the world around us.
