9 Designers - Manly Art Gallery and Museum
The Design Shop celebrates our 90 years with a brand new 9 Designers project. As part of MAG&Ms 90th anniversary, nine designers have been selected to design a unique object inspired by one of our decades, from 1930s – 2010s.
The Design Shop will profile one designer/maker per month by featuring their exclusive object and displaying their supporting products for sale throughout the year.
In April we showcase Michelle Perrett, whose elegant and intricate ceramic pieces are inspired by Margaret Preston’s botanical prints of the 1930s and the flowers found in our Australian landscape. The beautiful main object, a pair of expertly crafted flower head sculptures, speak of the calm, cool and chic interiors of the decade where native floral imagery was prominent in decorative arts and furnishings. Michelle’s work sits comfortably at MAG&M with our extensive collection of Australian ceramics.
