Born 1985, Aotearoa (New Zealand). Naarm based since 2014.

Caro Pattle’s experimental object-based practice explores handcraft processes through a lens of contemporary materiality. She draws from a range of craft disciplines to create works that joyfully muddle organic/inorganic binaries. Pattle’s practice spans large-scale public art installation through to small sculpture and is underpinned by ongoing research into material agency, object power and future worlds. Embedded across all of her output is a sense of pleasure and play.

Pattle graduated from a Bachelor of Textiles at RMIT in 2019 with a previous Bachelor of Fine Arts completed in 2009. The recipient of several travel grants and industry prizes, she was named the Australian Textile Graduate of the Year by the Design Institute of Australia for 2020. Pattle’s work was presented by Craft at the 2022 & 2023 NGV Melbourne Design Fairs and selected for the group exhibitions: Foreign Dialogues, The Gentle Going Hour, The Vessel Project, Improper Structures, By/Product, Welcome, Cheers, A Gentle Unwinding, and It’s Not Just Blue. In 2023, Pattle presented a commissioned work in Melbourne Now, Vessels at NGV Australia: Ian Potter Centre.
