Ceramics

Living and working in France, MATHIEU FROSSARD's work stands somewhere between art, design and craft. Looking at these practices from a distance, Mathieu's work is a collage of aesthetic references, shapes and materials that blur boundaries and offer multiple paths for the viewer to apprehend his work.

Giving viewers visual references, Mathieu pushes them to confront their own imaginative faculties, inviting them to interpret these as their own and to create stories based on what they see. Mathieu graduated in art and design from ESAD in Rheims, France, and from the Design Academy in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

STEPHANIE PHILLIPS is a ceramic artist from Sydney, Australia. She draws strong influence in her artistic direction from both of her grandmothers. Her paternal grandmother was a Russian immigrant who was a talented artist and craftswoman, while her maternal grandmother was involved in the establishment of The Crommelin Native Arboretum at Pearl Beach, NSW, where Stephanie has spent many weekends and holidays since childhood.

At a young age, she developed an affinity with the Australian bush and the influence of the forms and colours of native flora are evident in her work. Drawing on her love of plants, she creates curved vessels to house modern Ikebana. Using a combination of clays, glazes and oxides she creates her own colours and textures.

Stephanie studied glass arts at Sydney College of the Arts, mosaics at Randwick Tafe and fabric design and printing at East Sydney Tech before finding her true calling in ceramics. She has studied at ceramics at Gymea Tafe and at Hazelhurst in Sydney.

ALTERFACT is an experimental design studio created by Lucile Sciallano and Ben Landau in 2014. Since graduating from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2013, Lucile and Ben have worked in tandem on various projects in different mediums. Their collaboration has culminated in the creation of Alterfact Studio, a platform through which to conduct critical research with materials and data translated through the manufacture of ‘stuff’.

Alterfact’s practice is currently focused on the use of 3D printing in clay as a small batch manufacturing process. They push the boundaries of this traditionally plastic-based medium, and play with its connotations of utilitarianism and gimmickry, as it moves into a feasible reality.

ELLA BENDRUPS is an emerging ceramic artist whose practice explores ancient clay and stone artefacts and their ability to transcend the times and cultures in which they were created. She embraces the expressive nature of hand building, pinching, coiling and carving clay to highlight the maker’s touch. With a background in styling supported by studies in Communication Design and Interior Design and Decoration at RMIT University, Ella began social ceramics classes in late 2015 before progressing to a self-led explorative practice. Ella hand builds each of her pieces in a small home studio in Naarm’s/Melbourne’s inner North.
