Craig Murphy Wandin (Wurundjeri Woiwurrung) is an artist, cultural designer and a horticultural consultant. In 2022 he founded MAN&GUM. He works with bush wood to create vessels, artefacts and contemporary sculptural pieces that combine ancient and modern techniques to tell the story of the Australian Landscape. Using gum and wattle sap resin, he accentuates the wood’s natural qualities, and is guided by the stories that naturally occur within the timber.
In 2023 Craig was an exhibitor in the NGV exhibition,Vessels, presented as part of Melbourne Now and co-curated by Craft and NGV.
