Intimate and evocative, ceramicist Amanda Shelsher’s works are whimsical studies in nature, nurture and the ‘sprouting cycles of life’.
Shelsher uses paperclays and porcelain for her works, creating figurative works in which the broad planes of the enlarged bodies are juxtaposed with careful details, such as intricate sgraffito line drawings adorning the surfaces, and expressive faces. Garden of Curiosities is a particularly apt title, with an intriguing blend of domesticity and a gentle curiosity about wildness and growing things evident in the work.
The exhibition is to be opened by charity ambassador and lawyer Patti Chong,
