In Conversation: Marc Raszewski + Troy Emery
Sun November 16, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm AEDT
$20 – $30
Join us at Walsh Street for an in conversation between Tapestry Design Prize finalists architect Marc Raszewski (Cox Architecture) and artist Troy Emery.
“As a home for the Boyd Family, Walsh Street House resonates with the echoes of family life. Geoffrey Serle notes in his biography‚ Robin Boyd: A Life, that The Boyd’s had always had domestic pets, a dog and a cat towards whom Robin was very affectionate. In particular, Georgie and Sally were the two dachshunds and the cat, Camilla. Reintroducing the loving creatures that co-habited with the Boyd’s, the design broadens the emotional setting of the Family home to include the‚ otherness‚ of contemporary mystical creatures.
Camilla is a two-dimensional interpretation of Troy Emery’s 2024 sculpture Lupa, an amorphous animal like companion. The excess tendrils of yarn extended and embellished, dripping down out of the plane of the woven surface towards the floor, stretching the silhouette of the animal figure, bringing it into the space.
The tapestry figure sits between the hearth and window, facing the external courtyard and bridging the gap between interior and exterior spaces. The figure’s gaze draws the eye towards the external spaces and the bedrooms beyond, linking the public, communal and private aspects of the home.”
Marc and Troy will discuss their collaborative process to create their finalist tapestry design Longing (Camilla).
