'Partu', the Walmajarri word for 'skin', is the latest exhibition by designers Johnny Nargoodah and Trent Jansen to launch at Gallery Sally Dan Cuthbert. Their 18-month collaboration yielded a body of work that explores the confluence of their disparate sensibilities and skills in working with animal pelts – Johnny is a Nyikina man who has spent much of his life as a saddler on remote cattle stations and Trent is an avant-garde object designer. Made from salvaged scrap parts, the beaten geometry of these functional artworks tests the boundaries and beauty of leather.
