Artist Talk: The Art of Surface – Texture & Colour in Spatial Design

Limited seating (20 spots) – Registration required

The Art of Transformation

As part of Design Week, join us for The Art of Transformation, a thought-provoking discussion on how materiality, light, and texture shape our perception of space. This conversation will explore how artists and designers use these elements to create immersive experiences, evoke emotion, and redefine spatial boundaries.

Whether you’re an artist, designer, or creative thinker, this talk will offer fresh insights into the power of transformation in contemporary art and design.

Be part of the conversation—where art, design, and spatial experience intersect.

About the Artist

Melbourne-based artist Angelina Mirabito brings a background in Creative Writing (PhD) and a practice shaped by her Italian heritage. Also using unconventional materials and tools—palette knives, sticks, hands, and ladles—she builds layered surfaces that translate internal experiences into vibrant, tactile paintings. Her work explores the intersection of emotion, movement, and materiality, drawing attention to the physical and sensory depth of abstract expression.

The exhibition and all events are designed to be inclusive and welcoming to all visitors.
