FEATURE ARTIST - Melinda Young - Sydney, Australia
Over the next few weeks, the Box Project will be featuring all of its involved artists including an image of their past work in no particular order starting with Melinda Young from Sydney.

Melinda Young has a Master of Visual Arts from Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney and has participated in over 85 exhibitions in Australia and overseas since 1997. Fascinated by the potential for unexpected narrative, her work makes carefully considered use of colour and often possesses a sly, subversive sense of humor. Young generally works to self-set projects, which may provide a particular thematic, impose rules or constraints on her approach to making. Young’s particular interest lies with re-presenting aspects of the natural state of the body and many of her works have an unsettling plasticity or tactility. In addition to working from the jewellers’ bench, Melinda has had a professional involvement with contemporary craft and design since 2000 as a curator, writer, through employment in galleries and as a teacher.
