Abstract

Every object can be read. Every object tells a story. What story does Sydney tell? In this essay I will read the city as a handmade object – one made collaboratively, over time– in order to discover what it says about the forces that shape it. And, after finding that the Sydney is going to hell in a handbasket, I will also analyse an actual basket handmade from textiles by jeweller Bridget Kennedy to reveal an alternative narrative of resistance and hope.
