Your teacher
Hello! My name is Phong, I am an award winning Naarm/Melbourne-based designer/maker/textile artist specialising in contemporary quilts and soft sculptures through improv patchwork and hand embroidery. Previously a shoe designer/maker, I took the opportunity to work in textile-based social enterprises in Asia, reinforcing my artisan ethos of the slow and thoughtful hand-work process and its connection to society and the environment. Taking inspiration from these experiences, I developed my textile practice upon returning to Australia in 2018. Using up-cycled/dead-stock fabrics and natural dyes, I prioritise social and environmental care in my practice. I take a considered and intuitive approach, responding to materials and my surroundings. Applying the traditional techniques of hand-quilting and embroidery, assemblage and patchwork, I work with an overtly free hand approach to build compositional complexity.My work has been exhibited at The Wangaratta Art Gallery, QuiltCon (USA), SchoolHouse Studios Gallery, Linden New Art Gallery, The Australian Tapestry Workshop, FortyFiveDownstairs Gallery and MARS Gallery. I have collaborated with The Social Studio, The Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild and The Australian Tapestry Workshop/Melbourne Fashion Festival to facilitate improv hand quilting/stitching and natural dyeing workshops. I have also facilitated workshops overseas in Nepal and Vietnam. I was an Artist in Residence at The Australian Tapestry Workshop in 2024 and currently the Braybrook Community-Engaged Artist in Residence supported by the Maribyrnong City Council.I enjoy teaching and sharing knowledge with others and am here to help you explore your inner creativity.
