IRENE GRISHIN-SELZER has a Masters degree in Fine Arts (Ceramics) from Monash University in Melbourne graduating with Clayworks Australia prizes for ceramic excellence. Her practice engages with the notion of transience in nature - the shape of time and the sense of place.

Her work has been curated into numerous group exhibitions within Australia and North America along with solo shows in Melbourne. Mixing soil from her studio locations with clay, porcelain pigments, and glazes, her highly textured work becomes a literal and powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of nature where all things both animate and inanimate, past and present are intrinsically linked.

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.

MORGANA CELESTE is a Melbourne-based florist and emerging artist. Combining her love of materiality and composition, Morgana makes textural, abstract three-dimensional works that sit somewhere between painting and sculpture.

Morgana studied floristry and textile design, further exploring her interest in colour, pattern and making compositions. As a florist and half of Melbourne creative duo Candy MT, Morgana would often create three-dimensional structures and props to accompany her floral installations, leading her to experiment with scale, different media and materials.

Drawing on this experience and her hands-on approach, Morgana began experimenting with paper in 2018.

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.

ANNA PARSONS is a ceramicist, working intuitively, finding clay as a receptive medium to express herself. Anna often incorporates additions such as volcanic rock from the bush around where she lives. Anna's practice took many years of experimentation of temperature and clay body to get these results - she fires her work numerous times, sometimes up to 5 firings to get the desired effects. Anna majored in sculpture at  BA Sydney College of the Arts and now lives in Rosebank, NSW.

Clay receives me

Weaving instinctively

Bouncing Off

My inner psychology

Materiality, chemistry, bodily

I cast shadows
