Karryn Argus (Kaz) is a Melbourne based artist working across textiles, sculpture, and assemblage to explore the relationship between bodies, objects, and spaces. She is interested in how grief, vulnerability and loss and can be viewed in the embodied sculptural object.
Her 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 hold them until they set, symbolically embracing the process of healing.
Both of these projects are an exploration into the physicality of sculptures and the interconnectedness of bodies, objects, and spaces.
