Walker street diploma graduate sculpture exhibition

This exhibition was interesting to see, a lot of the artwork was very different and strikes up interesting conversation.

Three pieces that stood out the most to me for various reasons where;

This piece featured on the wall, it was about metal illness such as dementia and was made after the artist has watched her mothers mental condition rapidly decline. The piece features small black ad white pots some with textures, some broken and some with text in the base of them. As the work goes on the gaps in between the pots grow larger and the black and textured pots become more frequent. The text on the base of the pots also starts to fade out. It was a very emotional work, you could feel what the artist had put into it at the time.


The next piece was really interesting, the idea of everything having containers and being contained made it quite cut off from the rest. It felt very Asian inspired with the glaze, and the look of the pots and rest of the work. This particular piece could be taken a number of different ways, to me they look like stalagmites or a cluster of mushrooms.


The third piece that caught my attention was what I'm assuming to be seeds or pits of stone fruit. Aside from them looking like genitals to me, they are a point of interest to the entire show, because of the different nature of the work. There is nothing them in the rest of the gallery. Their paint and glaze work were quite different compared to the rest of the artists work and style.
