Alan Peascod: influences & dialogue

Curated by Craig Judd and Professor Amanda Lawson

Alan Peascod: influences & dialogue is an investigation of traditions and techniques, creative interaction and influence over three decades, centring on Alan Peascod’s vast, stylistically varied and technologically brilliant career. Peascod was one of Australia's most critically acclaimed ceramic artists, and is remembered as a leader in the development of original tactile glaze surfaces, including reduced and resinate lustre and dry glazes. Also on display in this exhibition are ceramics by Elizabeth Charles, Simone Fraser, John Kuczwal and Graham Oldroyd, each of whom worked with and were influenced by Alan Peascod. A graduate of the National Art School, Peascod was an influential artist, teacher and mentor.

A Wollongong City Gallery travelling exhibition.
