Meg Walters

Meg Walters is an emerging artist based in Newcastle, NSW. Born and raised in Bermuda, Walters divided her time between her island home and Canada throughout her childhood. A brief residence in London while she studied at the Chelsea College of Fine Art was followed by a permanent move to Australia to complete her Bachelor of Art at Newcastle University. She continued her education at the Byron School of Art recently, before making the move back to Newcastle (Awakabal) where she now lives and works.

Strands of white raku spill out of Meg’s vessels and fuse to form skeletal towers (developed using a ‘pinch and coil’ technique). Meg then covers this blank clay with rich and peculiar glazes. A difficult balance is struck between the sublime appearance of these works and the brute force and heat required in their making.
