$6,600

 

DONE/UNDONE 
Curated by Joseph Gardner

VISIONARIES 2025:
Presenting the future of Australian art, craft and design through the lens of the country's most influential creatives.

These works stand as two mirroring monuments. A stacked assemblage of varying textures and materials all which are salvaged and imbued with their own history. 

The stone which includes limestone, bluestone and sandstone has been sourced from a heritage stonemason: offcuts and discarded fragments from previous restorations. The time worn fragments have been exposed to the elements leaving behind a trace of their former lives.  Atop the arrangement sits a hand carved sphere shaped from a small remnant of Statuario marble. The carving process revealing the stones inherent character and material qualities. Stone waste generated during this process has been repurposed to form the plinth, grounding the composition in a closed cycle of transformation and reuse.

Belle Thierry is an Australian artist and sculptor. Thierry graduated with a bachelor of fine art from RMIT university in 2021. Her practice is grounded in a sensitive engagement with natural materials, particularly stone. Rather than imposing form, Thierry allows each piece to emerge through an intuitive process of refinement and reduction, where the original essence of the stone is honoured yet transformed.

Through subtle reductions and careful shaping, she highlights both fragility and strength, achieving a quiet harmony between intervention and preservation. Her sculptures invite a deeper awareness of the material world and the slow, often unseen processes that shape it.

Joseph Gardner is the 2025 Visionaries curator – presenting Craft's largest exhibition to date: showcasing 50+ artists and 400+ artworks.

Featuring artists across medium, scale and level of experience, they represent the exceptional level of rising talent in Australia.

DONE/UNDONE explores the creative process as a space of constant negotiation — a series of decisions to build, erase, repeat, or let be. It’s about that intuitive moment when a maker chooses to pause, to push further, or to dismantle entirely. These are the choices that define the rhythm of making — choices familiar to artists, designers, and creators across disciplines.

Joseph Gardner is the Style Editor at Vogue Living, with a decade of experience in publishing and styling, and the founder of Sydney-based gallery, Studio Gardner.
