Squigglee
About this event
Welcome to SQUIGGLEE – an interactive art installation by WA’ renowned artist Maxxi Minaxi May.
Reimagined from everyday objects, SQUIGGLEE invites you to step into a world of colour, pattern, and playful creativity.
This specially commissioned work showcases Maxxi’s signature love of transforming familiar items – this time, the celebrated/well-loved/well-used pool noodle – into vibrant, fun-filled art. Experience her iconic style in full effect at Coogee Live.
About the Artist
Minaxi May
Maxxi Minaxi May is an interdisciplinary artist, working primarily with sculpture, printmaking and installation. She uses a wide-range of approaches and dialogues to explore the interrelationships between the industrial world and our everyday popular culture. She is interested in representation and consumption – the remixing of consumer desire and response, within hybridised cultural moments.
Maxxi seeks to repurpose excess, manufactured objects, challenging their inherent meaning and making them into art that will be considered and treasured as abstract sculptures, rather than throwaways.
Maxxi has a BA and PhD in art, practicing for over 25 years. She exhibits regularly, is in significant collections and participated in residencies interstate and overseas. From February 2025 – 2026 she was the commissioned artist for the exhibition Re-PLAY developed in collaboration with curator, Lilly Blue for the Art Gallery of Western Australia’s dedicated interactive, all ages, artist-led Gallery 09 space.
