Hattie Molloy is a Melbourne-based artist and object designer whose practice explores the relationship between the natural world and contemporary form. Working across photography, floristry and installation, she challenges conventional ways of seeing, inviting audiences to discover the extraordinary within the everyday.
Her collection of sand-cast aluminium vessels extends this philosophy into functional sculpture. Developed to heighten our appreciation of botanical forms, each vessel creates a dialogue between industrial materiality and organic subject matter, elevating floral arrangements through sculptural composition and material contrast.

Based in regional Daylesford, Molloy's life and practice are deeply intertwined. An avid gardener, she is often found searching nurseries for rare plants to cultivate, foraging for botanicals and exploring local markets for objects whose textures, forms and histories quietly inform her work.
