Saddle Vessel Wide by Trent Jansen & Johnny Nargoodah

About the Item

Johnny Nargoodah and Trent Jansen have been collaborating in the design and crafting of collectible furniture since they met in Johnny’s hometown of Fitzroy Crossing, as part of Fremantle Art Centre’s ‘In Cahoots’ project in 2016. Johnny is a Nyikina man who has spent much of his life working with leather as a saddler on remote cattle stations, and Trent is an avant-garde object designer from Thirroul in New South Wales, who regularly experiments with leather and animal pelts in his collectible design work. Their Collision Collection (2017) gave some insight into the unorthodox outcomes that might result from the coming together of these oddly mismatched sensibilities and skills in working animal skins. Partu (Skin) (2020) is the Walmajarri word for ‘skin’, and is an experiment in combining these disparate sensibilities. This body of work was designed by Trent and Johnny and both designers have their own lens through which to view the processes and inspirations governing these works. Material: Scandinavian leather, plywood, brass.

    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.
