Vintage Modern Issue

The breadth and scope of Habitus has always been extraordinary. With how we live at heart of every issue, we have stepped it up with Guest Editor David Flack of Flack Studio shaking the ‘how’ and looking at new ways to make a house a home. With Vintage Modern as the issues theme, we look at the way iconic design has stayed with us, how daring pieces from the past can add the wow factor and how architecture and good design defy the pigeon hole of their era.

Of Green and Shaded Lanes exhibition by Studio Twocan

Sister duo Maddie and Becc Sharrock of Studio Twocan are presenting a series of new works in an exhibition entitled Of Green and Shaded Lanes running 15–29 October.


 

The exhibition of framed prints and sculptures is inspired by the Australian landscape and beyond, and draws on rich colour, pattern and textures found in the natural environment.

In their intent to emulate the earth’s natural beauties, Maddie and Becc have produced pieces that reference aerial views and cross sections of the Australian outback. Exploring layered cement, the pair have created works that call to mind favourite natural environments, with works reminiscent of river banks, flooded streams, pitless blue skies, aerial views and cliff faces.

A series of framed prints will be exhibited, accompanied by a range of sculptural cement works including vessels, vases and lighting. Each sculptural piece is polished with natural oils, sealing the cement with a satin finish. This process celebrates imperfections and ensures that each piece is unique.

“We’d like to think the style of our ceramics collection is feminine, organic and minimalist – wherein the simplest and fewest elements are used to create maximum effect,” says Maddie.

“Cement is used for its raw and unpretentious honesty, contrasting dramatically with the vibrant and tactile organic layering,” adds Becc.

The exhibition will run daily from October 15–29, 9:00 am to 6:00pm, in the gallery space located above My Bookshop by Corrie Perkin, 430 Toorak Road, Toorak.
