Monica Taverniti creates the Next of Kin exhibition which is presented by Novalis Art Design in Hong Kong. It encourages dialogue on personal interpretation as the forms arrive in the form of dressers, tables, and cabinets. The regular sets of shelving have angular forms that create storage spaces and structural accents.
Taverniti is an architect, painter, maker, and designer. She continues to breathe life to traditions of the past while encouraging conversations around modernity. The exhibition highlights a range of sculptural works that take lifestyle materials and transforms them into various vessels of imagination. She encourages views to explore the hidden stories i may hold. To create the pieces, she blends water-based enamels, markers, and acrylics.
