Tow the Line

Michael Reid Clay is thrilled to welcome Jennifer Oh to our Murrurundi exhibition space with a striking new series of sculptural objects and totemic vessels adorned with ultra-stylish, optically charged graphic motifs.

This exciting solo outing follows the artist’s successful showing in the group exhibition Pour, which was staged at Michael Reid Northern Beaches last August and curated by Vicki Grima.

Born in the Philippines, raised in Australia and now based between Rome and Sydney following a period in London, Oh says her practice is informed by her multiplicity of backgrounds and the various built environments she has encountered on her travels across different states and hemispheres.

Titled Tow The Line, her bold new series of torus-shaped, talismanic sculptures and eye-catching geometric vessels is enlivened by fabulous zigzagging patterns inspired by Op-Art motifs, nautical fashion and the razzle-dazzle camouflage of World War I battleships.
