A celebratory exhibition of small works from 25+ artists who have shown at Artpuff over our first 3 years

International exhibtion @ Galeria Azur BERLIN

Two of my works travelled across the seas to be exhibited in Berlin for the month. Whilst all together, 10 works are on show online for 12 months

Upcoming collaborative exhibition: Building on our ongoing experimental project exploring ideas of self-doubt in our art practises, myself and fellow artist Zoe Slee, will present this exhibition at Belconnen Arts Centre. Including an interactive public program with details to follow.

3 ceramicists exhibiting together at the lovely Art Puff Gallery in beautiful Castlemaine Victoria.

Studio 38, The Mill, 9 Walker St Castlemaine.

OPENING EVENT: Wednesday 17 August from 6:00pm at ANCA Gallery. Free to attend, no bookings required.

of soap and stone brings together the work of 3 early career artists; Kati Gorgenyi, Fran Romano and Melinda Brouwer. Working across mixed-media sculpture and ceramics, they have created an immersive and reflective experience which engages with notions of remembrance, memorialisation and the ephemerality of life. Kati investigates loss and memory; Fran explores the rituals and ephemera surrounding death, and Melinda’s interest lies in death’s material nature.

The exhibition experience will be enhanced by an interactive public program. On weekends, artists will encourage gallery visitors to engage with the artworks and themes by making clay votives. These offerings will become part of the exhibition, developing into an ephemeral installation which will remain in the gallery courtyard to decompose. The installation will be documented using time-lapse photography by videographer, Caroline Huff.

An exhibition that applauds the work of the Canberra region’s ceramic artists through a celebration of the vessel. Ceramic artists responded to the following definitions:

Vessel: A container (for example but not limited to a cask, bottle, kettle, cup, vase, or bowl) for holding something.

This collection epitomises the essence of good design, aesthetics and functionality in their work. The survey demonstrates the diversity of practice and approach to the vessel, where the artworks connect us to the maker, each made with the artist’s hand and then held within our own.

Over the 6 weeks of this experimental project, with friend and fellow artist Zoe Slee, we will explore the creative process and how self-doubt, self-image, and related biases impact and inform our practices in different cities.

Using the MaySpace Online Project Space, we will explore these concepts through an ongoing dialogue via a series of weekly postcards to each other posted on their website.

We invite others to join in the discussion, and hope hope that the project will engage with the community, creating a platform for broader dialogue,and helping to demystify the internal workings of artists as they create.

You can follow along by signing up for updates and/or join the conversation.

Look out also for 2 live Q & A sessions on the MaySpace Instagram page during the course of the project.

VESSEL: carrier // receptacle // holder

As one of the oldest and most ubiquitous mediums, VESSEL brings together a group of Australian artists to examine the role of contemporary ceramics in our society. Historically used as a means to contain, ceramics were items which would hold special objects — grains, spices, wine, rice, earth or ashes. Although their form and function has changed and expanded over time, ceramics have and continue to act as vessels; whether created to physically hold important goods, or as a symbolic repository of memory, imbued with an inherent source of comfort for the possessor.

The contributing artists for VESSEL are located and working across Australia, bringing together different methods, practices, and approaches to the ceramic medium.
