Melinda Young (Sydney) and Lauren Simeoni (Adelaide) create work that is a homage to the senses – a wearable passport to a whimsical ‘other’ reality. Exploring the potential for unexpected narrative, their works often have a sly subversive humour. Finding the beautiful and seductive in what is otherwise thought of as mundane, toying with mass-production processes and reconfiguring mass-produced objects to create wearables of seductive beauty.
Melinda Young has a Master of Visual Arts from Sydney College of the Arts and is currrently a full time teacher at Design Centre Enmore. Simeoni has a Bachelor of Arts (Gold and Silversmithing) from Canberra School of Art and undertook a Design Associateship at the JamFactory in Adelaide.
