Aluminium is a single material exploration. Six artists, makers and designers respond to the allure, practicality, and ethics of aluminium and together showcase the versatile applications of this metal within contemporary material practice.
The exhibitors were invited to respond to the complexities of this material and have created work made exclusively from recycled aluminium. With a shared sense of resourcefulness and ingenuity, they have each gathered their material from local sources, whether post-industrial waste sites, seconds from hyper-intelligent machine manufacturing or discarded soda cans and studio offcuts. Waste aluminium is repositioned as a prized local material, reclaimed and mindfully used to produce sculptural and practical objects of design.
Artists include Abdé Nouamani, Alexander Brown, Andrew Carvolth, Annie Paxton, Bel Williams and Welfe Bowyer.
