Kelly McDonald – A curious story told in several parts

Kelly McDonald’s work is a playful investigation of materials and their previous lives, and how they might rub against humans, both lovingly, and in scratchy ways. There’s something of a biography to it, equal parts fiction, truth and absurdity, with a few scraps of desire thrown in for good measure.

This event is part of the Sydney Craft Week Festival 6-15 October 2023.

SCW is an Australian Design Centre initiative. View the complete festival program.
