What happens when you create without a definition, without prescribed form, function and purpose. Multidisciplinary artist and designer Jordan Gogos speaks about the art of the thingamabob and creating your own meaning, sustainability and value. Jordan Gogos is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans textiles, design, and runway shows, deeply influenced by his queer and Greek-Australian heritage. His creative practice explores materiality through a sustainable lens, allowing form to evolve spontaneously, with outcomes dictated by chance.
Defying convention, Jordan’s work thrives on the fortuitous interplay of repurposed, recycled, and dead stock textiles, utilizing techniques like layering, compressing, felting, and embroidering. His art is held in major collections, including the National Gallery of Australia.
