Entomology (Dermestidae) Collection
Rebecca, a ceramist based in Tarntanya (Adelaide), uses her background in biological science and work as an entomologist to inform the process of making ceramic works. Drawing from her experience in taxonomy, Rebecca creates pieces that focus on and capture the details of the natural world around her. Her practice involves exploring varying hand building ceramics techniques - from pinching and slab building to Sgraffito and Kurinuki – to replicate organic shapes similar in form, but always slightly different.

Sue Michael
Place Studies
Sue is well-known for her naïve painting style and outward-looking approach to studies of daily life, often of regional towns or overlooked domestic settings. It is people’s creative adaptiveness that she seeks to archive. She can also be focused on the genius loci, or the atmospheres of place that can be felt on locations, and that are carried forward in people’s minds. Nature’s presence, seen in the plant world, stretches of water, even the skies, may hold a central place in her architectural studies. People are not given a central narrative in her scenes. Sue delights in keeping all her skills in use, often combining collage as a basis for her paintings, or including printmaking techniques with her collages.
