Eyes 14, the Goddess and her Owl
Ta matia sou dekatessera is a Greek phrase that means "eyes fourteen" which translates to pay close attention to your surroundings, being careful and alert. Julie Smeros offers a fresh perspective on Greek cultural heritage through her ceramics and wearable art. The blend of ancient motifs and concepts with modern aesthetics comes from Julie's experience as a first-generation Greek Australian. Design collective High Tea with Mrs Woo has responded to these wearable ceramic pieces with textile components. They explore elements of fragility and strength, and the shared cultural values of being attentive and thoughtful in today's world.
