Hagberg is an Australian-born Finnish visual artist with a particular interest in investigating unpredictable process-driven material encounters through craft, sculpture and installation. Originally from Albury, Gittings established his sculptural design practice in 2016. Directly inspired by his environment and natural forms, Gittings works intuitively with his materials (primarily metal) to create three-dimensional works navigating the intersections of sculpture and functional design.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eApplying their shared penchant for hands-on material experimentation across their multidisciplinary capabilities, Hagberg and Gittings' collaborate to create strange yet alluring objects that confuse our senses and prompt enquiry. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/craft.org.au\/whats-on\/all-events\/future-ambition\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFuture Ambition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMain Gallery\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMay 9 - June 21, 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"fnvml\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eFuture Ambition\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eshowcases innovative and ambitious works by seven artists and makers investing in new pathways forward – generating both creative and conscious furniture, lighting, artworks and installations, with the hope for a better tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"dvev5\"\u003eThe development of sustainable art, craft and design produces specialised knowledge and skills are highly prized assets in the commercial world.
