KENNY YONG-SOO SON, from STUDIOKYSS is an object maker based in Sydney, Australia.
With background in metal craft and object design, the fundamental focus behind Son’s practice is to create work that resemblance a sense of longevity and hand-craftsmanship. The design aesthetics of Son’s work relate to the idea of reduction and simplicity with emphasis on modern and traditional craftsmanship in the physical work process.
Son is interested in producing work that has the ability to interact with the user and its surroundings, allowing a trigger of emotions of the user when in harmony with the object. Son firmly believes, for contemporary crafts and craftsmanship to excel, is reliant on current and future makers to translate their outputs in a habitual and ingenuous manner towards the public. Work that is perhaps ordinary, rather a work that is conceived to be extraordinary.

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.

MALI TAYLOR is a Melbourne based ceramic artist currently exploring the parameters of coil methodology within her practice. Born in the Northern Rivers of NSW, Mali spent her childhood immersed in the beauties of the Australian landscape, which has undoubtedly influenced her practice.
Mali completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts specialising in object based practice and has since won and been a finalist in multiple awards.
Through the methodical and meditative layering of earthy clay, Mali’s hand-built sculptures hold time, invoking memories of archaic Australian landscapes.

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.

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.

TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PIECE: As part of the handmade process and the experimental nature of Anna Parsons' practice, 'imperfections' are to be expected in her works - these may present as cracks or chips and will be pictured in the photos. |
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
