Intimate Worlds brings together NorthSite makers whose practices are grounded in material exploration, slow processes, and thoughtful making. This exhibition highlights the space where art and design overlap—showcasing creators who work with sensitivity to their chosen materials and an enduring drive to test their potential.

Often working quietly and independently in their own studios, these five artists are given the opportunity to expand techniques in their chosen craft—creating objects that speak of inner worlds translated through form. The exhibition invites audiences into these practices, where craftsmanship and concept intertwine, and where each piece carries traces of time, care, and transformation.

At its core, Intimate Worlds is a celebration of experimental materiality and process. The artists’ respect for their mediums, paired with a restless curiosity, results in works that resonate with both refinement and intimacy.
