Paradise
2014
Mixed media assemblages
Paradise presents miniature landscapes built out of found and collected vintage glassware, ceramic animals, de-assembled jewellery and hand formed ceramic pieces made during a recent artist residency with ceramicist Lynda Draper at Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Gymea TAFE ceramics studio. They express a desire to explore memory, sentimentality and materialistic value through aesthetic, form and materiality of the objects we find in our homes. The objects are assembled to disregard their functionality and showcase their aesthetic qualities and design. To enhance their beauty and ability to story-tell.
