Jen Alexandra, Tie nine, to my design, 2026, The National, Ōtautahi Christchurch
Tie nine, to my design – the final work in a series of nine, taking the form of a nine-knot spell. Bronzed Lavender, copper, glass and scent act as channels for intention that hold the project’s accumulated stories in a single charged space.
Tie nine, to my design was developed for doctoral thesis, A Spell for Making or Making for a Spell, at Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha, University of Canterbury. The thesis asks how the application of intuitive technologies in studio practice can focus and expand the creative act as devoted disruption.
