Stilted #4 (2016), ceramic stoneware
Clay Intersections is a group exhibition curated by Catherine Fogarty and features myself along with the talented Kenji Uranishi, Tania Rollond, Bridget Bodenham, Helen Earl, Ulrica Trulsson, Colin Hopkins and Ilona Topolcsanyi. The show explores the different backgrounds and approaches Australian designers/artists from across Australia work with the clay medium.
The pieces I've included in "Clay Intersections" are guided by my practice of thinking with the hand and sketching with clay. The philosophy that all ideas are borrowed, nothing is original or new but rather invisible is a key ideology of my practice. Architectural intelligence, awareness and spatial fluency are intrinsic, subconscious traits appreciated by all.
By modelling built forms with clay rather than traditional architectural modelling mediums, I attempt to uncover artefacts aimed to reveal previously invisible spatial concepts. By offering sculptures of existing buildings and imaginary structures, my practice seeks to introduce the audience to a series of shelters.
The exhibition is open from 28 July - 21 September 2016 at the Australian Design Centre on William Street, Darlinghurst. Visit their website here for more information.
Opening night is Thursday 28th July 6-8pm. Register here to attend.
