Pearlescent Semblances, Perfect Parallels – Pippin Drysdale’s The Patterning of Light
Boasting more than 450 exhibitions both in Australia and internationally and having had over fifty solo exhibitions, Drysdale is revered as Australia’s most internationally successful ceramicist (McDonald, 2020). Despite her five-decade-long career, this is the artist’s first solo showing with Australian Galleries – and one that promises genuine delight. Drysdale’s notoriety is formidable; perhaps even […]

Amelia Lynch
Ceramicist Amelia Lynch is based on the New South Wales Central Coast – a quotidian detail at first blush, perhaps, but one which extends beyond the realm of biographical “fact” and into more explanatory territory. Her most recent body of work, showing this May with Arthouse Gallery, Sydney, reflects on her phenomenological and emotional relationships […]

Donna Green
Donna Green’s beautiful Bacchanalia, 2022, is slung low beneath the weight of its own ripe fulness. Bulbous forms – at once like stone fruits, breasts, or camp confections in a storefront window – tumble over each other, enfolded in a high-gloss glaze. Aptly named for the privately funded, opulent Roman festivity known as the Bacchanal, the title […]

Veronica Cay
conversations with my aunt, Cay’s current show with Anthea Polson Art, is named after the dialogue Cay wishes she could have had with her mother’s sister, about whom Cay knows only precious little information.

Pippin Drysdale
Drysdale’s The Patterning of Light: Breakaway Series II is both an observation and an observance of the natural world around the artist’s base in Fremantle, WA. It is an observation in so far as it comes from looking – but also from feeling, from remembering, and from attachment to – the landscape and its multi-species inhabitants. Even […]
