'Partu' New Zealand Leather Small Vessel by Trent Jansen & Johnny Nargoodah

About the Item

‘Partu’ (2020) is the Walmajarri word for ‘skin’ and is Johnny Nargoodah and Trent Jansen's latest collaborative project experimenting with this combination of disparate sensibilities. Found materials and leather are used to create awareness about Material Culture and recycling. This collection was developed in Thirroul on the New South Wales Coal Coast. Johnny and Trent came together four times over a period of 18 months, developing new methods for collaboration that could shape their incongruent knowledge, methods, and skills in designing and making into co-authored outcomes. These methods include: ‘Sketching exchange’, a process of back-and-forth sketch iteration, allowing an idea to evolve with equal input from both creators; and ‘designing by making’, a method of working with materials at full scale, to design an object as it is being made. In this approach the prototype is the sketch and both collaborators work together to carve, construct and/or manipulate material, giving the object three-dimensional form as they design and make simultaneously. Trent Jansen & Johnny Nargoodah Partu (Skin) Collection Small Vessel, 2022 New Zealand leather and aluminium Measures: 45H X 40W X 8D cm 18H X 16W X 3D in.

  • Scandinavian Leather Saddle Vessel Tall by Trent Jansen & Johnny Nargoodah
    By Trent Jansen
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Johnny Nargoodah and Trent Jansen have been collaborating in the design and crafting of collectable furniture since they met in Johnny’s home town of Fitzroy Crossing, as part of Fremantle Art Centre’s ‘In Cahoots’ project in 2016. This collection - Saddle (2020) gains its name from the first sketch that Johnny made for this collection, an elongated saddle that led to experiments in stretching supple Scandinavian upholstery leather between geometric timber and steel forms to generate new, complex transitioning forms. Sketch exchanges over an 18-month period eventually yielded an entire collection built on this beautiful capability of leather to stretch between forms and give shape to the space in-between objects.
