Illuminating aluminium
A new show at Craft Victoria asks six creatives—artists, makers, designers—to respond to aluminium as a material. All the aluminium used is recycled, highlighting the space’s new Conscious Craft initiative.
In our July/August magazine we profiled ten artists, and asked each artist to document their life with their smartphone. The resulting images are intimate, personal, humorous and poignant, and give a unique insight into lives and practices during the country’s national coronavirus lockdown.
In the images below, photographer William Yang – whose art speaks of love and death, crisis and identity – has sent us snaps of his life in Sydney, capturing his shrines and studio, and small ephemera from his day-to-day. You can read our profile on Yang, where he talks through his latest work centred on a man named Joe, who, in 1979, Yang put into a taxi and farewelled.
