Exhibition Opening: The Places We Inhabit: Vessels from the Villages

The Places We Inhabit: Vessels from the Villages is an immersive journey through the rugged and beautiful landscape surrounding the ACT, through the eyes of the artists who live and make there.

In this exhibition of diverse and beautiful ceramics forms, we are invited to share the intimate and individual relationship these artists share with the land of this region. Whether it’s the earthy reds of local clays, the imprints of the non-human world on pure white porcelain, or the distinctive softness of a wood-fired vessel, each piece bears the distinct imprint of the place these artists call home.

Coming together from the landscapes and villages of Braidwood, Sutton, Bungendore, Collector and Gundaroo, and the beautiful places in between, the exhibition includes artists Kate McKay, Robyn Booth, Joey Burns, Moraig McKenna, Ian Jones, Mahala Hill, Lisa Maddern, Michael Warner and Lea Durie.

The exhibition brings together a celebration of the rich artistic life in the region’s rural and mountain landscapes.
