In the realm of fables and folklore, the narrator’s role is fundamental. For as long as there have been stories, there has been the riveting practice of their telling. We can all recall campfire circles with a single voice holding court, a favourite chair in which a grandmother once sat and read to entranced children or a rudimentary stool that, when pulled out, became a siren call for the telling of a tale. These scored memories are what Scotty Bemelen’s works draw out of the memory bank.

Scotty Bemelen is a Melbourne-based maker creating characterful works that rest within the realm of storied beautility. Through immersive play-based inquiry and the embracing of unbridled material exploration, Scotty forges pieces that defy definition, belonging instead to the overlapping shared space on a Venn diagram representing furniture design, sculpture and improvisation.

Scotty combined his construction expertise with a deep-seated creative passion, experimenting with a myriad of mediums through a freeform process of carving, burning, beating, staining and texturing, resulting in a uniquely primal collection that quickly caught the attention of the design world and led to the establishment of practice, BIEËMELE. His pieces not only serve functional purposes but also evoke joy and tactile interaction, showcasing a mastery of colour often serendipitously forged by the application of stains and chemicals that render graphic patinas upon timber and copper and a penchant for whimsical, thought-provoking designs that engage the imagination through motifs and organic forms.
