‘Crafting Identities’
Strathberry Showroom, Melville Street
Created exclusively for Strathberry, ‘Crafting Identities’ explores the idea of Benassi’s value for interdisciplinary influences. Inspired by the contemporary craft movement of resisting categorisation and encouraging individuality and uncertainties, Benassi’s collection of paintings thread together sculptural forms, fluidity of mono-printing and layering of calico fabric and washes of clay.
Often inspired by her travels to Italy, Benassi’s use of a rustic, earthy and pastel palette compliments Strathberry’s Autumn Winter 23’ collection of rich and creamy colours that she has incorporated into her paintings.
