I am pleased to announce that my new stitched porcelain work is selected for a group exhibition “Form & Function: contemporary ceramics” at the Glasshouse Regional Gallery among with interesting works by Honor Freeman, Eloise Rankine and Brett Stone.

Each artist inspires the viewer to enquire and challenge traditional concepts of the ceramic medium through their work. With references to material culture and the everyday, a new perspective on form and function is explored within this exhibition.

私のステッチシリーズの新作が、ポート・マックオーリーにあるグラスハウス・ギャラリーのグループ展”現代陶芸のフォルムと機能性”に選ばれました。オナー・フリーマン、エローズ・ランキン、ブレッド・ストーンさんの作品と共に展示となります。
