Gas-reduction fired stoneware + glaze

There is an astral quality to Hussey’s work, in form as in title. One work is called “And the stars look very different today” - part of lyric sung by Ziggy Stardust … that baffling emissary from mars. We greet another as “Rocket Man”, after that lounge room anthem to a lonely astronaut.

"The Covid19 pandemic compelled the Victorian State Government to lock down its population to a degree unimaginable until 2020. The privilege to leave Melbourne was simply not an option but the yearning to escape had never been stronger. My desire to search for a time or place beyond Covid19 manifested in the creation of these ceramic vessels which reference satellite dishes, telescopes and search lights; an unexpected depiction of my anxiety but perhaps one that harks back to my scientific background. Searching for a logical escape from an illogical scenario. Searching for an answer the the unanswerable.”

Japanese-born, Gold Coast-based Naoko Rodgers is behind dots and lines 10 to 1000. Working predominantly in high temperature functional stoneware, Naoko is passionate about her hand building techniques such as pinch, coil and slab form to make imperfections and unique pieces.

Pottery is the art of chemistry and Naoko loves the combination of predictable and unpredictable parts of her own designs. However, it is the transfer of joy that drives Naoko, as she believes the care and joy put into each piece continues to inspire and bring joy to others.

“Through the use of ancient coiling techniques, I transcend timelines; feeling both humbled and regenerated. Drawing inspiration from silhouettes of ancient ritual vessels, the “Soaring Voices” series of vessels features rhythmic and repeating loopy appendages which provide a visual focal point and result in a fusion of utilitarian and decorative functions. These little vessels are flamboyant and light hearted and I hear them sing joyfully with soaring voices as I hope they sing for you.”

KRISTY HUSSEY - Available online via the link in bio.

Kristy Hussey is a Melbourne-based ceramic artist and sculptor. She works primarily in clay (hand-building and wheel throwing) as well as making sculptures in plaster, bronze and limestone.

Hussey's bio-morphic forms stem from her mutual love of art and science. Often reminiscent of the diagrams found in our science texts Hussey pushes these forms beyond, creating inspired statement pieces. In this current collection, we can make out telescopes, satellite dishes and searchlights as Hussey attempted to escape from the confines of lockdown through creative means.

"Making these works was an exercise in order, simplicity and repetition. They are a quiet meditation on the rhythms of the day, the little tasks repeated over and over with my son. The food we bake, the garden we water, the walks we take, the flowers we pick.
The vases I make offer their own forms of repetition; in their shapes, their carved lines, their tone, and the act of slowly hand pinching the clay over and over. Eventually the flowers we have grown are placed in them. In this way the process feels folded into the rituals of our days."

@Naoko focuses on how she enjoys making pottery because she believes that this feeling of joy transfers to the people who touch her finished pieces. Pottery is the art of chemistry and she loves the combination of predictable and unpredictable parts of her own designs.

“Rejecting the ‘perfection’ of reproduced machine made items, my work is thrown on the wheel and then trimmed and painted by hand.

These new works use kiln fired pigments rather than glaze to investigate a painterly mark akin to gouache, where the brushstrokes are visible and matte colours tell a story of an Australian summer.”

Given that we will not be able to welcome you through for this incredible collection of works we hope you will visit online via the link in bio to enjoy more installation images.

We are currently closed due to Sydney's lockdown however all works for our current exhibitions can be found online.

Kristy Hussey ironically created her new collection during the Melbourne lockdown as a way to escape creatively when physical escape was impossible. Our locals are now enjoying these inspiring forms on their daily constitutional.

Hussey's ceramics glazed in bold black don't appear to come from traditional wheel throwing methods but rather, screwed together by industrial machines. These beautiful details have been inspired by Hussey's mutual love of science and art and her desire to push beyond traditional ceramic forms.

“Central to my practice is my background in science and a life-long passion for learning. I am drawn to both the scientific nature of ceramics and the possibilities to extend what can be achieved with the medium. From the geology of the clay bodies, to the chemistry of glazes and the alchemy that occurs during the firing process I am fascinated by the limitless combinations of these factors in creating works of art.Both art and science are human attempts to understand and describe the world around us."

Hussey’s ceramics resemble the gear and gadgetry used by astrophysicists and astronomers to parse the great wide question mark above us.

One piece is titled ‘Parkes’, after the storied telescope in the Central West region of New South Wales. It broadcasted two and a half hours of the Apollo 11 moon landing live and has captured the Australian imagination ever since. As both an artist and scientist, it’s no wonder Hussey is drawn to the dish.

Hussey is a part of a new guard of experimental Australian ceramicists, breaking down the conventions of sculpted form and composition. The logic of this movement … a vase can hold water AND jut and bend wildly like a contortionist.

The ‘Elsewhere’ collection was dreamed up under Melbourne’s spate of lockdowns in 2020. In a cruel twist of fate, they find themselves in our Northern Beaches gallery under Covid restrictions. Not to worry, in online images as in person, the brilliance of Hussey’s ceramics shines through.

In fact, her themes of ‘isolation’ and ‘escape’ are now in perfect conversation with our local (and decidedly sympathetic) community.
