Gus Clutterbuck specializes in porcelain, creating a diverse array of objects, large painted forms, and expansive installations. His practice involves both hand-building techniques and the use of molds crafted from found objects. Additionally, Gus produces miniature mixed-media works on paper, which are significantly enlarged to form limited-edition prints.
Gus’ work is deeply influenced by his experiences, including his time spent in remote Indigenous communities, residencies in China, and an engagement with domestic life. His blue and white porcelain paintings are executed using traditional Chinese brushes and cobalt stains, blending Chinese symbolism with elements of Australiana. Recently, Gus has shifted his focus to elemental forms such as sticks, which he uses to explore themes related to mental health, landscape, and the arboreal motif found in Chinese art.

Central to his practice are themes of family and country. Gus’ art is deeply rooted in personal experiences and emotional connections to places he considers home, ranging from Kununurra in Western Australia to Jingdezhen in China and, more recently, Prospect in Adelaide. His dedication to reconciliation is evident in her work with Indigenous Australia, which has profoundly influenced her artistic approach.

Sasa’s work has steadily evolved over the years with a refinement and an elegance that is pared back and free of artifice. The shapes are simple with a mix of perfectly balanced vulnerability and strength. Sasa’s signature ash glazing and the actual weight of the hand-coiled pieces further add to this play. The forms have a bodily human quality – the natural imperfections and subtle shifts in colour sweep across the surface, reminiscent of skin. The way these beautiful sculptural pieces are made communicate their solidity and unapologetic power.

All the pieces for ‘OVERFLOW’ are imbued with a feminine power – in their form and feel. These works were made at the time of Sasa becoming a grandmother. The overwhelming outpouring and receiving of love – the flow- is what is felt. The widening of the openings of these vessels suggests a greater capacity for and experience of the movement and flow of love and life between all beings and generations. At this moment of Sasa’s journey as an artist and as a mother and grandmother the works are expressions of Sasa’s inner and outer world. Simple yet profound.
