DONE/UNDONE
Craft Victoria , VISIONARIES

DONE/UNDONE explores the creative process as a space of constant negotiation. A series of decisions to build, erase, repeat, or let be. It’s about that intuitive moment when a maker chooses to pause, to push further, or to dismantle entirely. These are the choices that define the rhythm of making, choices familiar to artists, designers, and creators across disciplines.

The works in this exhibition sit at various points along a spectrum of resolution. Some reveal the construction behind the object - raw, unpolished, deconstructed - where process is as visible as form. Others are meticulously refined, their surfaces hiding the complexity of their making. Some pieces revisit past ideas or historical references, reimagined through new materials or techniques. Others venture into entirely new territory, using experimentation as both method and message.

DONE/UNDONE asks us to look beyond finishedness, to consider how intention, iteration, and even doubt can shape what we make, and how we understand the act of making itself.
