Description:

Gaistaz. serves as a visual exploration into the predicament of today’s youth; despite quality of life being the best it has been in modern history, the prevalence and severity of mental illness raises some difficult questions.  Why is it that mental health is a war we seem to be losing? Are we a lost generation?


Note: Born from a place of empathy, Gaistaz explores heavy topics and grapples with the aestheticisation of pain. While I do not often feel the need to explain myself or my work, often shrouding my intentions in esotericism, my older work is not as well documented nor are my thoughts on them.
            Having a coloured history with mental health and the sensation of being lost, Gaistaz was conceived from the feelings and experiences of traversing some of the darkest chasms of depression. Video-games and the fantasy genre offer a wealth of visual references for depicting the otherworldly. This served as the basis for considering the aesthetics of a lost generation through a series of implicit visual cues.

Description:

Wake, the gathering held before a funeral, functions as the final predecessor to Eulogy. An autoethnographic exploration into my life and relationship with dress. 


In life, there are points in which our relationship with dress and identity undergo clear change. Wake makes an effort to memorialise those clear moments of growth and transition. 


Born on the back of an Honours thesis, Wake explores the agency of fashion in the production of identity. Crucial to the collection is the consideration of the, at times, esoteric nature of dress and outward projection of identity. The manner in which we engage with fashion and dress to construct our projected identity is highly personal and often anchored by a relationship with dress that develops over a lifetime. Wake is an ode to the growing pains of the lifelong journey of self-discovery.

Description:

The remastering of a pair of straight-leg trousers from Matt’s graduate collection, Wake.


‘On a Friday night, enjoying a midwinter potluck on Upoko Road, I was wearing a pair of trousers from my graduate collection. Inspired by a fleeting encounter on the streets of Osaka, these pants featured a super-wide leg, and a length that all but enveloped my shoes.


Animatedly Sam began a bidding war, in which he was the only participant, over these trousers. I promised him that rather than sell him these pants, I’d rework them and make them anew.’    


He still hasn’t taken them off.
