The Artefact Guild

Elvis Reimagined

A fragment of the King's legacy — born in Parkes, carried to Graceland, worn against the skin.

Museum-grade wearable art Parkes, New South Wales

Collector's Manifesto

“The Artefact Guild is not for everyone. It is for those who understand that what you wear is a statement of who you are.”

— The E Foundry

Section I

One Word. Three Legacies.

A single word carries three inheritances — the King, the Cosmos, and the Commonwealth all converge on one regional Australian town.

The Spirit

The Parkes Elvis Festival — the Southern Hemisphere's capital of rock 'n' roll. Every January, the King's dual soul is kept alive in this regional Australian town.

The Science

The Dish — the legendary CSIRO radio telescope that broadcast humanity's first steps on the Moon. Parkes connected the world to the stars.

Statue of Sir Henry Parkes, Father of Federation.

The Foundation

Renamed in his honour in 1873, the town carries the name of Sir Henry Parkes — the “Father of Federation.” On 24 October 1889, his Tenterfield Oration first called for a united Australia.

Section II

The Art of the Split Face

Left side of the face rendered in Mondrian-style stained glass.

The Left Side — Stained Glass. His Faith.

Elvis collected stained glass throughout his life. The cathedral light you see here is a continuation of what he kept sacred. This side adopts the iconic grid-based abstraction of Piet Mondrian and the De Stijl movement — rigid black intersecting lines, bold primary colours, and white negative space.

Lineage Mondrian / De Stijl · Cloisonnism · Fauvism · Pop Art

Right side of the face rendered in gilded repoussé gold.

The Right Side — Gold. His Legacy.

Elvis collected gold too. The gilded surface is not decoration. It is his inheritance made visible. This side shifts to a monochromatic, metallic aesthetic resembling repoussé and chasing.

Lineage Baroque / Rococo · Byzantine Gilding · Repoussé · Classical Sculpture

“The split face is not artistic interpretation. It is a portrait of a man who lived between the sacred and the iconic.” This piece holds both.
