Through a deep-conceptual and value-driven philosophy, Alice Springs designer Elliat Rich taps into ancient and future ways of seeing the world.
Developed during Rich’s residency at Canberra Glassworks throughout 2024, Mythica Ignota showcases new work using mythology as a framework to nest scientific observation and more-than-human orientated values with artefact and narrative. Through her works, Rich creates portals dubbed “Oscillocene” that connect to other worlds and ways to belong, where myth becomes a daily ritual through objects that tether you to other ways of seeing, thinking, knowing, being.
