earth:Country

earth:Country – from the ground to the sky is an exhibition of female First Nations ceramicists, presented in conjunction with Apmere Mparntwe, 16th Australian Ceramics Triennale.

First Nations curator Lisa Waup invited 15 sculptors to exhibit, all of whose works create an innate connection to Country. Through the materiality of ceramics, which itself comes from the earth, these artists tell their stories of Country as an expansive living being that includes the sky, ground, waterways, mountains, forests and desert.

These stories come into being through the process of using earthen materials and guiding them in one's hands, so that each object forms a direct relationship between the artist, their story, Country, and culture.
