■Solo exhibition at Gosford Regional Gallery
□ゴスフォード・リージョナル・ギャラリーにて個展

 

immerse-1I will be exhibiting my new body of work at the Gosford Regional Gallery from 13th December until 1st February. I challenged the new slab technique for thin porcelain pieces and I drew images of my surroundings (Brisbane water area) in the Central Coast. The images of water, yachts, and boats are captured onto my pieces.

Gosford Regional Gallery has beautiful Japanese garden (stone garden, pond with KOI fish, wisteria, cherry blossom, plum, and tea house) which was created by professional Japanese gardeners from Japan. It is a part of sister city (Gosford city and Edogawa, Tokyo are sister city) contribution/exchange program.

While my exhibition is on, there are TWO exhibitions:

The Archibald Prize exhibition [22 Nov 2014 – 4 Jan 2015]

2nd Tamworth Textile Triennial [10 Jan 2015 – 22 Mar 2015]

■”iROiRO” Solo Exhibition in Sydney
□シドニーにて”イロイロ”個展

soba-choko-and-rice

‘iro-iro’ means ‘various’ or ‘of different kinds’ in Japanese. ‘iro’ translates as ‘colour’.

For this exhibition I have added new colours into my work and have created all kinds of objects and drawings by integrating new materials such as paper, fabric, wood, and wire to my fine porcelain work.

I admire all crafts and so, want to capture the essence of craftsmanship in various forms into this new work.

My love of sewing led me to think about mending. We mend a piece of clothing and continue to use it so why not ceramics too? My mending project started when I was patching a favourite porcelain cup some time ago.

In Japan there is a practice of mending broken tea bowl with lacquer and gold/silver/tin powder. This is called ‘kintsugi’. We then continue to use the bowl and appreciate the whole of the object.

Through the paper vessels, fabric bowls, patched cups, stitched vases, wired objects and embroidered drawings in this exhibition I have expressed my respect for traditional crafts while exploring ceramic forms. Each piece has taken many hours of labour and through this meditative process I have gained new realizations about the practice of craft and the resulting objects.

イロイロとは日本語で、”様々な”とか”違った種類”のといった意味で、色は、カラーのことを示す。今回の個展はあまり拘りを持たず、カラフルでイロイロな素材を用いて作品作りに挑もうと思い、紙、布、木やワイヤーなどを従来の磁器の作品に加えてみました。

私の趣味の裁縫もアートに取り込み、あえて手縫いでチクチク作品を描きました。

紙で作った花器、布で作ったボウル、パッチワークしたコップ、ステッチしてある花瓶、ワイヤーで描かれたオブジェ、刺繍を用いた絵等が展示予定です。どの作品も時間のかかる作業でしたが、その作業を通じてクラフトの真髄を垣間見ることができたと想っています。
