Description
Misha Harrison was born in Wollongong, NSW, Australia, in 1990. She studied fine arts at Wollongong TAFE before undertaking a Bachelor of Creative Arts, majoring in sculpture and textiles. She completed her degree in 2015 graduating within the top five precent of her faculty. 2016, Misha completed her Honours degree, graduating in the first class.
Harrison’s practice explores materiality and process through the genre of still life. Each artwork is intricately hand-cut and painted, and embroidered on plywood. The artworks translate real-life arrangements of flowers, drapery and objects into three-dimensional artworks that combine sculpture, painting and textile practices.
In a world of the readymade and mass-produced, the importance of the handmade is crucial to Harrison’s practice- she relates to the core notions of the Art and Craft Movement of the mid-19th century, channelling the concept that mass-produced and readymade items lack soul. Harrison expresses her soul through her detailed and meticulous craftsmanship in wood, embroidery and painting.
Delivery of artwork on conclusion of exhibition on 26th April.
