Wearable art has existed for as long as humans have painted and feathered themselves, but in terms of buzz and awareness, it is sky-high on the agenda this year. Hand-crafted and personally expressive, wearable art is the term used for costumes and accessories made to be worn as “art” outside the limitations of commerce, fashion trends or utility.
Artist Venessa Crane, born with cerebral palsy, has been a full-time artist for nine years with a passion for working across various mediums. She was intrigued when a friend told her about the concept of wearable art and decided to up-skill by studying the nine-week ‘Statement of Attainment in Make Wearable Art’ course at TAFE NSW Design Centre Enmore.
