Leanne Failla: A collection of objects to retain from a collection of objects to discard

Overview

Leanne Failla's design practice involves investigating how objects play a role in shaping space and the 'intangible' influence objects play in our reading of physical locations. A collection of objects to retain from a collection of objects to discard sees Failla continue her long-held interest in this idea and introduces her own personal narrative by working with objects she owns and values – "reproducing their form using other objects in her possession". By using methods of deconstruction in her art practice, Failla dissects how objects shape space and our experience of it.

Failla has previously exhibited her works at the Sheraton Hotel, Seventh Gallery and c3 Contemporary Art Space and has collaborated with Artland as part of Melbourne Fringe Festival. Failla is also the co-director of interior design practice Itself Studio, which she heads alongside fellow designer Jaime Vella.

A collection of objects to retain from a collection of objects to discard is on at Blindside Gallery and runs from Wednesday, September 13 until Saturday, September 30.
