(Re)Contextualised Châtelaine
Monash University
Art History and  Curation Final Graduate Project

(Re)Contextualised Châtelaine is a publication made in collaboration with artist and fashion designer Gabrielle Sharkey. The project was initiated from an interest in process as a drive for sculptural and object creation. The goal of this project was to formulate a curatorial paradigm that focuses on one art object rather than a larger exhibitive body of work.
