Artist statement<br />

Presented as a vintage knitwear<br />

catalogue, Maille Order combines our<br />

current need for personal protection and<br />

how we might consider what we wear as<br />

armour, with kitsch styling. The ‘knitting’<br />

of armoured face masks, an apron and<br />

jumper, conflates women’s work and the<br />

masculine associations of chain maille.<br />

Asking questions about how function and<br />

value can be subverted through material<br />

associations and tongue-in-cheek tropes.<br />

The viewer is invited to leaf through this<br />

fashion pamphlet and to indulge in the<br />

product’s absurd futility.<br />

Biography<br />

Annalise Fredericks is a multimedia visual<br />

artist and aspiring costume and concept<br />

designer.<br />

Having graduated from the ANU School of<br />

Art and Design with a Bachelor of Visual<br />

Arts, Annalise works across a variety of<br />

different mediums, ranging from painting<br />

and printmaking, to sculpture and textile<br />

work. Her work tends towards exploring<br />

and experimenting with materiality<br />

and texture, often leaning towards<br />

themes of fantasy, stories, history, and<br />

the surreal. A key aim with her work is<br />

pushing the limitations of and subverting<br />

the expectations of the viewer through<br />

materials.<br />
