Opening Thursday 11 March 6-8pm

Without Bias presents a series of collaborative works from book sculptor Nicholas Jones (Bibliopath) and emerging fashion designer Warren Harrison (Made by Warren). For this new body of work, Jones and Harrison explore the technique of binding as a cross-over point in their respective practices.

Harrison has incorporated basic book-binding techniques to create simple, yet elegant garments with a distinctively bookish twist. Jones has created a series of sculptures made from books about textiles, garment construction and fashion design and which take their inspiration from the tools of the fashion trade (scissors, needles, thread). This exhibition aims to bring together two distinctive practices and to explore the processes behind the creation of art and fashion.

To be opened by Kate Rhodes, Curator of the Design for Everyone Program, State of Design Festival and Adjunct Curator, Object Gallery: Australian Centre for Craft and Design.
