From his early days of stealing a housemates sewing machine and watching Good Morning Australia, to now collaborating with global luxury brand Hermes, Gerwyn Davies has come a long way.
His photographic works are layered in skill and creativity. Not only does Gerwyn take the picture. He is the model, the costume designer, the fabricator and also the set maker. A Spotlight frequent flyer, Gerwyn uses everything from sequins, to plastic plates, to upholstery foam to craft his costumes.
And such is the construction of his costumes, that it’s not uncommon for Gerwyn to find himself contemplating whether or not he can breathe.
In today’s episode of Interview With An Artist, we talk about the different skills involved in his work and how they layer together in the overall creative process; how over the years he has continued to focus on consistently showing up and doing the work and success has followed; some of his more interesting material choices and what it was like shooting in situ in Japan.
Interview With An Artist is hosted and produced by radio host, arts broadcaster and artist mentor Willy (Wilamina) Russo.
