White Heat at the Jamfactory - last days!

White Heat finishes next Sunday 14 September at the Jamfactory, do yourself a favour and have a peek at both exhibitions. Nick Mount's exhibition in the main gallery is a wonderful celebration of a talented maker, designer and artist!  His poetic sculptural forms are a delight to behold!

June artist of the month: Kris Coad

Kris Coad's Studio

Kris Coad's workbench (detail)

Kris Coad is an established ceramic artist working in Melbourne, Victoria. Her practice is of particular interest to me because she works across number of artistic areas. Coad creates beautiful porcelain tableware and utilitarian objects, subtley inspired by her travels, interest in Asia and appreciation for the 'handmade'. Her installation work often uses multiple, fragile objects which resonate throughout the gallery space. Hung in mid-air, her exhibition work throws eery shadows and creates a sense of quiet reflection.
I look forward to presenting Coad's new work and her interpretation of wearable ceramics.

(Thank you to all of the artists for the generous use of their images. Artists retain copyright of their images.)

A talented bunch!

Thank you to all of the international, national and local artists, makers and designers who submitted proposals to the White Heat team, we were thrilled with the response from such a talented pool of creatives.

As our exhibition is specific to Australian artisans we were not able to accomodate international artists - this was no reflection on the talent or the individuality of the work submitted. Thank you for all of your words of encouragement and best wishes with the coordination of the exhibition.

In a perfect world where money was no obstacle - the White Heat team would gladly travel the exhibition internationally! (Visiting jewellery making mecca's like Germany or New Zealand and ceramic havens in Denmark, Sweden & Turkey.)

I would like to showcase some of the amazing work from our international friends, enjoy!
