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.
Medium: New Zealand leather, aluminum.
