Ceramics by Tamasin Pepper and John Tuckwell  and Vestige: a tribute to the giant abandoned cranes of Cockatoo Island - mixed media prints by Laura Stark.

Opening 6 - 8 pm Friday 10 October - Exhibition continues to 28 October, 2014

We look forward to seeing recent developments in the work of these two ceramicists based in Bellingen.  Each finds inspiration in the local landscape and this is evident in their subtle finishes, textures and colours and a sense of stillness in their work.

In contrast Laura's tribute to the giant sentinels of the Cockatoo Island dockyard explores these decaying man made monoliths where the ghosts of the past still seem to hover as if in protest at their fate.


Laura's work can be seen in the following link:

Strange Pockets

turf wars: wild life on the urban fringe

ceramic sculpture by Bev Hogg

This exhibition observes nature, discovering remnants of wild or unusual places that seem to be at odds with their surrounding habitat.  Small or large, these sites become places of wonderment and concern.  Our idealised sense of nature is challenged and over time we become aware that we are participating in a new normal.  These spaces and their inhabitants have inspired the production of these fanciful works.




2.30 pm Saturday 15 March
In Conversation:  Bev Hogg and Dr Daniel Ramp
 Senior Lecturer, University of Technology Sydney
  Director, Centre for Compassionate Conservation


In observing nature we discover remnants of wild or unusual places that seem at odds with their surrounding habitat.  Small or large, these contested spaces becomes sites of wonderment and concern. Our idealised sense of nature is challenged. Are we participating in a new normal? Join Bev and Daniel in conversation to discuss possibilities and realities of living in shared spaces - where the urban fringe meets the wild!

Very Short Circuit : Raw Art

by Michael Williamson

 A Raw Artist who builds large ceramic sculptures inspired by his emotions and dreams, Michael sculpts the figure and then paints using a complex mix of pattern and design.  Colour is important and images are significant.  An example is the eyes of the sculptures:  they show the importance of keeping watch.  Some have multiple eyes on front and back of the head, always on the lookout.  Some may have one eye awake and one asleep.  A related image is tears.  

One tear may descend or a stream of tears pour down the cheeks.  He puts a lot of energy into his work and if a piece is successful he names it immediately, a title springing quickly to mind. Clay is a very challenging medium where you never know what to expect from a firing, but Michael would not want to work with anything else.

Bloom

Elisabeth and Kerrie invite you to the opening of Bloom: 

an exhibition of ceramics by Queensland artists  

Stephanie Outridge Field and Megan Puls.

Stephanie has worked with community art projects for many years, fulfilling commissions and facilitating projects where children, students and artists join forces creating wall panels,  pathways, signage and playgrounds for parklands, schools, war memorials, wetland centres, children's hospitals and shire councils.  Her personal work explores self portraiture and the framework that guides our daily lives through iconic elements such as the house. She has exhibited extensively
throughout Australia and in New Zealand.

Megan is well known as a winner of the Josephine Ulrick Ceramic Award and for her ability to throw and sculpt very large pieces.  Her work has featured in art competitions, festivals, magazines, books and is included in collections worldwide.  She sees her work in the context of the past moulding the future:  exploring new techniques, ideas evolving through different clay mediums, using personal symbols and icons, meeting the challenge to contrive, construct, control and create.

Opening 6 - 8 pm Friday 1 November
1 - 18 November 2013
