Craft presents the third iteration of By/Product, an exhibition series highlighting circularity in production. In a solo presentation titled Oxide, artist and furniture maker Locki Humphrey explores the production waste from the prickly pear tree – an abundant invasive species – using the byproduct from fruit harvesting to produce a sustainable leather alternative.
With a particular focus on minimal intervention and sustainable practices, Locki shows a range of furniture and objects that can be assembled and disassembled for ongoing repair and re-use.

Locki Humphrey
Locki’s approach to object design focuses on minimal intervention, craft and sustainability. Their process is driven by both intuition and intention, an exploration of material, colour, texture, proportion and the potential of recycled materials. Championing Australian manufacturing and designing for deconstruction, Locki's contemporary furniture and lighting collections challenge convention by balancing craft and innovation. The resulting pieces feel both familiar and refreshingly new.
