Dividing his time between fashion design and his art practice, Jordan Gogos spends the whole year considering the context of his work and the concept of sustainability.
A true multidisciplinary artist, Jordan Gogos’ creative practice spans textiles, design, and runway shows that infuse his queer and Greek-Australian lived experience with a sustainable approach to textiles that reflects a profound exploration of materiality, where form evolves spontaneously, and the final outcome is dictated by chance.
An artist who defies convention, Jordan’s practice thrives on spontaneity and the fortuitous interplay of materials that revolve around repurposed, recycled, and dead stock textiles sourced from friends and colleagues, employing couturier techniques such as layering, compressing, felting, and embroidering.
Jordan’s work is held in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of South Australia, and Powerhouse Museum; is a Creative Resident at Powerhouse Museum; and is a recipient of the Creative Force Award at GQ’s Men of the Year Awards.
