RACHEL SPUNGIN & MAYA KURDOGLU, local artists
Multimedia Works and Textiles
Rachel’s current project, ‘The Gaze Interrupted’, explores Thyroid Eye Disease, vision, and identity through weaving, crocheting, and embroidery. By translating interviews with patients and surgeons into tactile textile vessels, she wants to centre touch, interrupt the visual gaze, and invite us to reconsider what it means to see and be seen.

Maya creates moving and still images, stories and installations that explore the familiar and unfamiliar. “Imagine it’s me” is a series of works made with handmade pigments from pieces of found burnt and dried trees. It wants to create conversations between bodies, and within its own fragments.
