oxide by/product
melbourne design week 2025
by/product forms a part of Conscious Craft - a Craft Victoria initiative showcasing innovative creations by makers and designers who are actively considering sustainability and ethics in their production methods and use of materials.
The by/product exhibition series challenges Australian makers and designers to repurpose discarded materials to produce new handmade luxury goods. The aim of the series is to highlight the value of raw materials and to recognise the threat of material scarcity on designers, artists and makers. Through this process, designers and makers work to rebuild structure, redefine aesthetic appeal and reinstate value in otherwise discarded materials.
For the third By/Product iteration, artist and furniture maker Locki Humphrey will explore the production waste from the prickly pear tree – an abundant invasive species – using plant leather made from the byproduct of fruit harvesting.
Locki will also be exploring uses for waste generated by their own practice.
Locki will be presenting a collection of new works for this exhibition.
