Asked to describe his work Trevor has a simple and straightforward answer, “colourful, nostalgic and humorous.” From 50s-style food platters to terrarium plants and from radios to hairdryers – Trevor is highly skilled in bringing to life unexpected objects using crochet. Each of his pieces are bursting with personality – and there’s something about the precision with which each object is made that adds to their charm.
3D DIRECTION
“My mother Jean Smith was a talented craftsperson, and I enjoyed doing what she was doing. She taught me to crochet when I was about seven years old. So I’ve been crocheting on and off for over 50 years,” explains Trevor. “I started crocheting in 3D when I was involved in a Regional Arts Victoria community yarn bombing project in 2009. Knitters, crocheters and weavers created site-specific works or covers for structures such as rubbish bins and picnic tables in the area around a swimming hole in the small town of Panmure. I made a nest and bird that was displayed in a tree, and water lilies that floated in the water.”
