Billie Civello — Limb Chair, 2024
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.

The Limb Chair is cast in recycled aluminium from branches collected on walks across Melbourne over the past years. These small acts of gathering give mundanity a sense of memory and sentiment, grounding the work in daily experience. Each branch used to create moulds, preserving its irregular structure before being turned into an undying object through aluminium casting. The work dwells in how quotidian moments can be reworked into objects that carry traces of time, locality, and personal experience.

DONE/UNDONE
14 November 2025 - 7 February 2026
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.
