Karryn Argus is a Melbourne-based visual artist whose practice encompasses handmade textiles, sculpture, assemblage and performance, Her work delves into themes of grief, vulnerability and loss, investigating how these emotions can be conveyed through the sculptural form and its interaction with objects and space.
CURRENT PROJECTS
Karryn's current projects include Body of Work and Holding On Until You Cure. Body of Work involves artworks that incorporate recycled wearable items. Techniques like coiling, padding, crocheting, twining, and sewing are explored to make forms reminiscent of bodily shapes in space. Holding On Until You Cure delves into themes of vulnerability and loss. Karryn creates plaster works and tenderly holds them until they set, symbolically embracing the process of healing.
Both of these projects are an exploration into the physicality of sculpture and the interconnectedness of bodies, space and objects.
