Blue Tree was made from that place. A higher frequency. The jute twine sits soft against the hard rock. The crushed copper holds firm beside the carved timber. Four completely different legs, four completely different energies — all carrying the piece together. The material leads. The feeling arrives before the meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotty Bemelen is an Australian maker whose craft captures the rich beauty of living fully present and attuned to nature. Through immersive inquiry and unbridled material exploration, Scotty forges characterful works that embody nostalgia, treasured memory and storied beauty. Defying traditional labels, his creations have the presence of characters masquerading as furniture: enigmatic beings that seem alive, ready to walk away if left unobserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotty’s work exists at the intersection of furniture design, craft and sculpture, blending artistic language with technical mastery. His process involves carving, burning, forging, foraging, shaping, staining and adorning, resulting in pieces rich with story. Gnarled forms, molten-metal accents, patinated surfaces and natural motifs imbue his work with levity and material strength, radiating a beguiling joy. Crafted with skill and imagination under his studio, Bieemele, these objects have been commissioned for private homes and shown in galleries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\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\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\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e —\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/craft.org.au\/whats-on\/all-events\/visionaries-2026\/\"\u003eVISIONARIES 2026 \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"header\" id=\"header\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-396eebe8=\"\" class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12 November 2026 - 6 February 2027\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.craft.org.au\/collections\/visionaries-2026\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e View the exhibition collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCraft Victoria presents \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eVisionaries 2026, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecurated by Tali Roth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eVisionaries\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is Craft’s flagship exhibition series, designed to create meaningful pathways between Australia’s exceptional makers and the wider worlds of design, culture and everyday life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTali Roth is the founder and creative director of the award-winning Studio Tali Roth.
