Where:: Sabbia Gallery - Surry Hills, Sydney
Region:: Sydney Area

Description

Official Opening: Wednesday, 15 July, 6pm

Conversations is an exploration of the impact, relationships and conversations that occur within the ceramics community and the affect that these influences have on these artists' practice. Each Sabbia representative artist has been asked to invite one Australian ceramist who influences, informs and converses with their artwork or practice.

This influence may be found in many ways, such as through friendship, studio partnerships, collaborations or with artists that deal with the medium in a similar way. As ceramists generally are in solitary working environments, the sense of collaboration/influence is often derived through conversations, blogs, conferences, and seeing one another’s work in galleries.

Artists:

Julie Bartholomew, Janet DeBoos, Greg Daly, Simone Fraser, Honor Freeman, Jeff Mincham, Gail Nichols and Tania Rolland + invited guests: Professor Elizabeth Ashburn, Owen Rye, Joanne Searle, Elizabeth Charles, Don Court and Marie Littlewood
