Some of these artists take inspiration from our city itself. Making Canberra celebrates the local designers who have drawn from our city’s built heritage, connection to nature, and icons in their work. Annie Trevillian, Chelsea Lemon, OAT Studio, Paul House, Nicholas Harper, Rene Linssen and Sean Booth.

Biography<br />
Sean Booth grew up in the fast paced city<br />
of Sydney, but later moved to <strong>Canberra</strong><br />
to commence study, where he began his<br />
career as a metalsmith. In 2002 Booth<br />
completed his undergraduate studies at<br />
The Australian National University School<br />
of Art in the Gold and Silversmithing<br />
workshop, and has recently established a<br />
workshop in the <strong>Canberra</strong> region.<br />
His practice consists of two main threads<br />
of investigation. One thread focuses on the<br />
more traditional use of silver and hammer<br />
work within a contemporary context, and<br />
the other challenges geometry and the<br />
structures that can be built with a sense<br />
of fluidness. His work encompasses many<br />
varied forms such as sculptural works,<br />
