“Form as Story” brings together artists whose practices move across art, design, and craft. The exhibition explores how meaning emerges through the intentional shaping of form—through colour, pattern, structure, material, repetition, and gesture. These elements function not simply as aesthetic choices, but as narrative devices that carry memory, identity, and cultural resonance.

Across portraiture guided by pattern and character‑based composition, sculpture that invite sensory engagement, hand‑stitched textiles that engage with contemporary political and cultural dialogue, and abstract paintings built through intuitive mark making, each piece demonstrates how design principles articulate complex stories. Whether through collaborative image making, multisensory interfaces, or tactile acts of making, the artists expand the boundaries of what design can communicate.

Together, the works assert that design is never a neutral container. It is an active force that shapes how we see, understand, and remember the world. Through the interplay of process and intention, “Form as Story” reveals how form does more than support narrative. It becomes narrative—an expressive language through which artists construct, question, and share the stories that define collective and individual experience.

"Form as Story" is curated by Lora McKay and features the work of Diana Weymar, Andrea Soos, Jackie Tahara (UnBlink Studio), Chris Chapman, and Melanie Golder.

This exhibition is open daily from Friday May 1 - Sunday May 3, from 11-3 pm.
