Into the Red

Micharl Reid Murrurundi is thrilled to present Rachel Falls Williams‘ first exhbition Into the Red.

Journeying into the ancient red land of the Pilbara region.

This body of work is a response to a self-funded residency in the Pilbara and seeks to capture the unique colours, textures and details of these dramatic landscapes. From high on hilltops, to deep within the gorges, this work explores both the intimacy and vastness of this place.

The iron rich red of the Hamersley Ranges. The soft veil of spinifex. Rugged landforms and sweeping plains. Formed and then deeply weathered and eroded over millions of years. A literal exploration of the geology and vegetation of the region.

Each work is both functional and an expression of materiality. The slips and glazes incorporate materials sourced on location in the Pilbara including; Snakewood (Acacia xiphophylla) ash collected from the firepit and found iron rich clay and inclusions.

A quiet celebration of the beauty, power and fragility of this ancient landscape.
