Rachelle Austen – 'Knowledge Elevates I' Sculpture
$600
Impulsum Minima Mundi
Inspired by Noguchi's playscapes, Impulsum Minima Mundi captures life's significant experiences in miniature form. The abstract shapes symbolise moments in time, scaled to encourage a shift in perspective. By viewing from a distance, the sculptures suggest that even difficult experiences seem smaller and more manageable. This elevated perspective reflects how life's events, when viewed with reflection, offer a higher presence through experience and knowledge gained.

Rachelle Austen of ‘Tiny Time’ is a a ceramic artist, living and working on her bush block
in the Macedon Ranges on Dja Dja Wurrung country. Rachelle pushes her material to the extremes with the intent of causing cracks and fissures into the delicately thin androbust solid forms, pushing the material before and beyond breaking, a metaphor for the resilience of existence, the fragility of life and most importantly, the beauty that may be found in the broken, and finding acceptance in imperfections. She has a background in Industrial Design, graduating from a Bachelors at Monash University.
