Relic

Counterpoint Lamp, 2015, stoneware base, carbon fibre rod, spun aluminium shade
Peter Frank Milligan

Relic is the first in a series of images by Bo Wong and Rose Megirian, celebrating the creatives who are compelled to experiment, explore and pivot in their creative process, unbound by a particular medium.

Anchored by the central themes of their own unique practice, each artist exemplifies agility and defiance in their fearless explorations.

Relic was first published in PIVOT, issue 001 of The Fulcrum Agency’s journal.

Hanging Wire Dip (1 & 2), 2015, wire, acrylic paint.

We’ve observed a cross-current at play in contemporary creative industries, a boundarylessness that does not identify with a particular medium or definitions and is instead, more interested in the intersections of design thinking and contemporary ‘making’ practice.

We are exploring this exciting boundary shift, along with the rise of traditionally feminine craft in the art of design landscapes through Relic, a series of images celebrating creatives who we feel reflect this crossover of craft, design and art in Western Australia right now.
