Clay on Country – Ceramics from the Central Desert

Clay On Country – Ceramics from the Central Desert is a celebration of clay, community, culture and creativity.

Showcasing the enthusiasm for ceramic practice in the central desert region the exhibition is a diverse and eclectic survey, the first of its kind, including 35 artists and collectives, the majority of whom have made new work for the show. Some are established ceramic artists, some are reconnecting with the medium, others are incorporating clay into their practice for the first time. All have produced accomplished, insightful and contemporary works that reflect the culturally and historically rich and complex region where they live and work.

The varied works in Clay on Country – Ceramics of the Central Desert reflect Ancestral stories, contemporary experiences and settler histories alongside the joys and challenges of making with clay, the push and pull of the medium and the myriad results of an engagement with this most tactile of materials.

Curated by Jo Foster and Neridah Stockley the exhibition is the first survey of its kind, developed to coincide with the 16th Australian Ceramics Triennale 2022.
