Sixfold Project

Meanwhile

Meanwhile pays homage to the collective creative experience. Presenting the works of Australian artist group, Sixfold Project, the exhibition embraces simultaneous art production across disparate geographic locations, time zones and emotional conditions.
Meanwhile features new work from artists, Jennifer Valmadre, Rose Rigley, Julie Poulsen, Louisa Ennis-Thomas, Barbara Dover and Raewyn Biggs, probing and challenging their individual interpretations of time and place within personal philosophical frameworks. At times, shared. At times, unique.
Sixfold Project confront their innermost maker: digging into the depths of their studios to reveal the debris of their art-making process, the brave ideas which can’t be contained, their material contemplations, and fresh responses to a world which is constantly shifting and evolving.

Bowls of colour is about a potter painting. This series takes my favourite wheel thrown forms from the wheel head and clay into plaster and encaustic. These works offer me a chance to play in the arena of colour theory something that is difficult to work with in ceramics as the minerals used to make glazes change at temperature from white to clear, violet to blue, green to turquoise or even to red. In Bowls of colour, glaze theory is replaced with colour theory and glass formers, fluxes and refractories are replaced with waxes and powdered pigments.
