Alexi Freeman is an interdisciplinary artist, fashion & textile designer who lives and works in Melbourne, juxtaposing speculative ideas with artisanal, biological and technological methodologies.

Throughout his career he has developed over twenty critically acclaimed collections of hybrid textile artefacts that caress the parameters of contemporary art, fashion, jewellery and textile design. Due to increasing concerns in regard to the environmental impacts of these artefacts, Alexi sought to develop methods of producing textiles in a more sustainable way. Through the provision of an RTP Stipend Scholarship (RSS) funded by the Australian Government, Alexi completed a Masters by Research at RMIT University. Situated within the field of biodesign, he interrogated the potential of microorganisms as eco-analogues for the textile industry. Recent exhibitions include: ‘Life & Death’, Meat Market (NGV Melbourne Design Week), ‘Play’, Design Tasmania (Mona Foma); ‘Future U’, RMIT Gallery and presentations in numerous public forums including Raw Assembly and MPavilion.
