Lucy McRae: Body Architect at NGV Australia


When you hear the name Lucy McRae, the strange anatomical forms and weird adornments of her subjects come to mind. These multimedia art pieces are visually stimulating, but they often end up disturbing the viewer's  mind.

Lucy, who calls herself a "body architect", produces short films and images that raise questions about what it means to be human and what is it that makes us human. As former ballerina, interior designer and architect, Lucy effectively blurs the lines between fashion, design, art, architecture and science. If you happen to be in Melbourne, check out the first survey exhibition of Lucy's provocative and beguiling work, Lucy McRae: Body Architect. The show runs until February 9, 2020 at the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia at Federation Square. The best part? Admission is free.

Hand-Painted Bags That Tell Your Story

  Most bags today look like they were produced by bored machines in a dimly lit factory. You can walk into any mall and find rows of identical leather (or “leather-like”) things, all claiming to express individuality. Ironically, though, they all look exactly the same. Then there’s Abby Verano . Her bags are not mere accessories; they’re declarations. Each one is hand-painted, touched by an actual human being with an imagination. Abby doesn’t just sell you something to put your wallet and smartphone in; she sells you a story, a vision, a little revolt against the tyranny of sameness.  Her tools are simple — brushes, acrylic paint, bags made from pandan leaves, and creativity. No duplicates. No clones. Just one-of-a-kind art pieces you can carry.
