Artists | Meredith Turnbull
“My work is about abstraction. It can be geometric or organic, but I enjoy the play between form, tone, shape and colour through these conditions. The objects I make explore lines, planes and surface colour.
 
Metal is a key material but often revealed as a striking scratch beneath a powdery matt coloured finish. Comfort and wearability are also key concerns when making abstract work so I often incorporate soft materials like elastic for these reasons.

I work primarily with scale, creating small-scale sculptures and fabricated spaces.  I also make constructions from wood, paper, photographs and cardboard that function as tableaux and suggest actual architectonic spaces.
 
I enjoy making objects and jewellery that explore these conventions but still feel active and playful. I focus on activating the surface of each piece so it appears as an entirely different material; not hard metal but something papery-smooth and malleable.”
