Alexandra Standen Ceramics
A mantel or shelf always calls for at least one large object and I wonder if anyone wouldn’t love for it to be something from Sydney ceramics artist, Alexandra Standen. I admit that I have only just recently discovered her work, but it’s without saying that I’m completely smitten and her ceramics are on my radar to add to my collection.
Dinosaur Designs
If there is one Australian design company that has incredible staying power, then the crown should go to Dinosaur Designs. Not only are they still around after almost thirty years in business, they have remained true to their brand and are even more relevant today then they were when I first fell in love with their work.
Maricor Maricar | Wall Hangings & Embroidery
I first discovered MaricorMaricar on a visit home to Sydney last year. At the time the twin sisters, aka Maricor and Maricar Manalo were exhibiting some of their embroidered and geometric patchwork textiles at Koskela entitled, “Maps”. The exhibition was inspired by photos and drawings of their time living in London after winning a grant by the British Council.
