Interconnected
Curated by Julia Amstrong
Anfisa presents 'Interconnected', a curated ceramic art exhibition that explores the relationship of art, craft, and design, while pushing the boundaries of ceramic craftsmanship.
Curated by Julia Armstrong, the exhibition will take place in our recently renovated Upstairs Gallery, offering a captivating exploration of contemporary ceramics through the works of 17 artists across Australia.
Each carefully selected artist has been commissioned to present a relationship between two distinct bodies of work within the same medium - a functional sculpture and a complementary wall piece that connect and converse. They have been given full freedom of conveyed message, form, colour and technique. The showcased works are bound only by the requirement that they effortlessly integrate into everyday life, while authentically embodying each artist's unique voice.

Alexandra Standen, NSW
Astrid Salomon, VIC (Bastard Ceramics)
Annemieke Mulders, WA
Charmaine Ball, WA
Elizabeth Lewis, NSW
Emma Lindegaard, WA
Jan Vogelpoel, VIC
