Cat Rabbit and The Seven Seas join forces once again in Toyworld 2: a continuation of works that explore their shared enthusiasm for toys and toy collecting. The exhibition presents a cast of friendly and sometimes familiar characters; each one built, sewn and sculpted by hand, from minds occupied by cartoons, visions of world peace and Porco the Cat.

Cat Rabbit is a textile artist based in Naarm. Using felt, recycled and vintage fabrics, she hand stitches plush sculptural works of her imagined characters and the worlds they might live in. Her work translates to many formats, always with the aim of bringing softness and warmth to the viewer.

The Seven Seas is a Naarm-based multidisciplinary artist working in illustration and sculpture. He works across many styles from figurative to abstract work, with a focus on bold colours and large forms. The Seven Seas explores woodworking, casting and illustration techniques to represent his recurring cast of characters and forms reflecting memories, thoughts and travels.
