At Corban & Blair we applaud creative people with clever ideas who communicate the need to honour and protect the environment – while also making art that delights us.

If you want to be inspired catch Ruth Downes new Exhibition at the Hurstville Museum & Gallery. See Items that could be ‘ barely wearable’ body adornment for the age of consumption. This body of work is a continuation of Ruth Downes’s passion for reappropriating everyday materials and objects to celebrate their intrinsic beauty. Gleaned from a diverse range of sources; airline headsets, coffee capsules, pens, detritus from nature, pencils, piano keys to the ubiquitous face mask, all to be reborn as new fashion statements.
