The landscape really inspires me and how mystical it feels. The way the wind blows, you always get a sense that there’s something else. It’s the unseen that inspires me.

Studio conversation with Louise Gibson
We caught up with Studio Holder Louise Gibson to hear about her materials and processes spanning recycled metal, resin labs and building relationships.
Studio conversation with studio holder Andrew Gannon

Studio conversation with studio holder Jack Brindley
I suppose a lot of my work is following the materials at hand, so when a process becomes available, I look to use the qualities that come with those processes to show the material to its best advantage rather than trying to kind of wrestle it into submission.
Studio conversation with Lorenzo Robertson
I’m finding my voice. Mine is part nature and part Italian.
Studio conversation with Andrew Kinghorn
