Everything

From her small studio in the Dandenong Ranges, MELINDA WALLIS strives for beauty in the form and surface. Simple designs can prove challenging, however this keeps her engaged as she continues to search for that one perfect piece... that enigma. She uses textured clays, often blending two or three together. The wheel gives Melinda the individual parts, and her hands assemble the finished product. The process is by far the main event for Melinda, the work is a bonus.

OBJECTS OF VIRTUE is the ceramic studio of Australian artist David Suckling.

David SUCKLING is fascinated by the interpretation of natural forms throughout the history of art and architecture, and aim to interpret his own familiar environment within this tradition. In his travels outside of Australia David studied the patterns on ritual objects of early cultures as well as the sophisticated surfaces of European architecture. All bear signature marks of their makers and designers.

David wanted to apply this type of action to his own objects, combining evidence of human interpretation with repetitive action. Hours spent kayaking the estuaries of the south coast of NSW, exploring the intertidal zones of mangroves and oyster beds, allow David to observe and consider ways of expressing the affinity he feels with this place. The physical immersion in the textures of these zones is translated through the physicality of hand building, and the motifs retain the evidence of his hands and fingers.

Theodosius Ng 黄振康 (they/he/she) is a queer Chinese ceramic artist based in Naarm (Melbourne). Their practice employs wheel throwing, hand building and experimental glazing techniques. They are passionate about cross-disciplinary practices and tactility in materiality.

Inspired by their queerness, chronic illness and immigrant experience, Ng is curious about exploring the extraneous within the familiar through cultural, ritual, and spiritual concepts - revealing an inherent need to find pattern, beauty and ritual. Their works aim to co-create and collaborate with nature and humankind.

TATTS’ interest in new materialist theories informs the technique of assembling multiple porcelain tesserae or cut and refined ceramic tiles. The physicality of individual assemblage of tesserae creates abstract forms of balance and precarity, layers, stacks, pattern and negative spaces.

Using hyper focusing as a perceptive and making strategy, concentrating on the individual tesserae tile, Tatts considers their relationship and action with other objects and the surrounding environment. In late childhood Tatts was diagnosed with apophenia, a condition where the brain has the inclination to perceive patterns and connection in everyday object. Tatts has continued to develop not only technique but the action of evoking story and kinship between medium, artist and viewer.

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.
