Gallery 1: Porcelain

Artists: Robin Best, Kirsten Coelho, Gwyn Hanssen Pigott, Ann Linnemann, Bruce Nuske, Prue Venables and Gerry Wedd

Porcelain – the hard stuff – the refined temperamental thoroughbred of the ceramic world – the preserve of the connoisseur. A most demanding medium, unforgiving of attempts to control it; it marches to the beat of its own drum ‘with a backbeat narrow and hard to master’. Porcelain’s ability to shrink matches its ability to warp. Amazingly plastic and capable of astounding results, yet few attain mastery of this wilful substance. The artists in this exhibition are amongst those who, through the Zen-like act of accepting the essential difficulty of porcelain, have come to terms with its essence.


Gallery 2: Informing Facets

Regine Schwarzer

Embracing the unpredictable and the unexpected Schwarzer uses traditional faceting of gem stones to subvert expectations by selecting stones with impurities. Cutting her stones carefully she reveals their innermost individuality, emphasizing flaws trapped within, rather than cutting stones only to reveal the scintillating properties.
