NOTE: This artwork is a mixed media, therefore local pickup or local delivery will only be accepted due to its fragility.
Misha Harrison was born in Wollongong, NSW Australia in 1990.She studied fine arts at Wollongong TAFE before undertaking a Bachelor of Creative Arts, majoring in sculpture and textiles.
Harrisons practise explores materiality and process through the genre of still life. Each artwork comprises of intricately hand cut, painted and embroidered plywood. The artworks translate real life arrangements of flowers, drapery and objects into three-dimensional artworks that combine sculpture, painting and textile practices.
In a world of the readymade and mass produced, the importance of the handmade is crucial to Harrison’s practice- she relates to the core notions of the Art and Craft Movement of the mid 19th century channeling the concept that mass produced and readymade items lack soul. Harrison expresses her soul through her detailed and meticulous craftsmanship in wood, embroidery and painting.
Dimension, form, texture and colour are each important components of Harrisons artworks. Plywood- (aesthetically mundane in its original form – commonly used in building and craft) is transformed into elaborate assemblages of colourful shapes, patterns and textures. Cutting, carving, sanding, painting and gluing are some of the labour-intensive exercises involved in her process. These woodworking processes- (traditionally seen as ‘masculine’) are juxtaposed with the use of embroidery and textiles that echo notions of femininity. The uniting of both the masculine and feminine mirrors the new age in society where there is a paradigm shift in gender roles.
Reminiscent of a jigsaw puzzle, every different piece the artworks has been drawn onto the wood, cut, painted and finished to fit into its place. The ‘puzzle’ resonates Harrisons process- chaotic but methodical, disordered but intentional. Piece by handcrafted piece the artwork reveals itself through her process. The process of Harrison’s art is just as important as the finished result. Harrison’s art making defies the constraints of painting and sculpture, masculine and feminine.
