Amy Findlay X Anita Sarkezi
Amy Findlay and Anita Sarkezi’s collaboration comprises a series of brooches representing and visually narrating the life of a slug through different stages of its existence. The series expresses imaginative yet real life events such as socialising, mating, and feeling of isolation created through an almost childlike lens with the meticulous craft skills of an adult. Anita’s slug supporting structures are digitally Jacquard hand woven with silk, copper and fine silver wire, aiming to provide a platform for Amy’s slugs. The slugs are companions to the wearer, which rest on an intricately oven surface simulating the slugs terrain.
