DistoMorph: Svenja
Next date: Saturday, 28 February 2026 | 12:00 AM
This exhibition brings nature to life through vibrant colour, texture, and movement through textiles, screen printing, devore techniques, and embellishment. Brisbane artist Svenja creates striking three-dimensional sculptures inspired by the wonders of the natural world.
This exhibition invites viewers into a world where nature’s forms are transformed and amplified.
The title DistoMorph combines “distortion” - the act of twisting or altering something out of its natural or original state, with “morph” - to undergo transformation from an image or object into that of another.
Each piece feels like looking through a kaleidoscope, making this exhibition a truly unique experience and I encourage everyone to view it for themselves.
Through colour saturation, distortion and amplification, the exhibition shows how the artist’s inspirations have been manipulated and elevated to an otherworldly dimension.
Originally each inspirational element was tiny, but has been magnified to a large scale, heightening their strangeness and beauty.
About the Artist
Svenja is a Brisbane-based textile artist whose creative journey spans fashion, millinery, and wearable art. After early studies in drama and fashion, she explored drawing and art history before transitioning into a celebrated career in wearable art, earning six awards at New Zealand’s World of WearableArt competition and exhibiting internationally.
Her practice evolved through residencies and exhibitions, including
Morphology and her solo show
Algalrhythms, which toured regional galleries from 2021–2024. Today, Svenja creates sculptural and wall-based works inspired by nature, blending textiles, printmaking, and embellishment to transform organic forms into vibrant, otherworldly creations.
In 2024, Svenja was Artist in Residence at Gatakers Artspace, developing ideas and pieces for her current exhibition.
