We’ve been teasing you about this for quite some time now, but the wait is finally over. Welcome to the 2016 edition of the Hunting Collective, a unique collaboration with Australian artists curated by Hunting for George.
This is the second edition of Hunting for George’s Hunting Collective. This year each artist received a blank Hunting for George timber clock and an open brief, which resulted in 12 incredible time machines.
The Hunting Collective collaboration is a passion project pioneered by Hunting for George Co-founder and Brand Director Lucy Glade-Wright.
“The Hunting Collective means a great deal to me. I have always been fascinated by the creative process and the Hunting Collective allows me to explore the processes of some of Australia’s most talented artists. Our main objective behind this project is to document and share these creative stories in a bid to inspire a new collection of Australian talent.” Lucy Glade-Wright
