DUCTILITY. 2020.

The alt.material collective presented its third exhibition, titled ’Ductility.’ It invited leading and emerging creatives to explore how design can shape life through exploration of materiality and fabrication. 

Ductility is part of a series of exhibitions for NGV Melbourne Design Week


Foiled Again. Liane Rossler. 2020.

Foiled Again’ was inspired by the TV series ‘How It’s Made’ which showed the production of aluminium foil. This included mining and transporting all the elements from around the world, then smelting them into an enormous aluminium ingot which was then rolled and rolled to produce the fine ductile foil we are so familiar with in every day life. Aluminium is infinitely recyclable. This work, pressed over handmade ceramic transforms aluminium foil into a solid useful form.
