More Lazy Days

Stories in Clay

Kirsty Manger, Lee Goller, Jodie Maree Phelan, Meredith Plain, and Matthew Baird,

28 October to 27th November, 2011

We are five artists who  use clay, or in Matt's case wood,  to tell our stories - stories which reference such themes as the clouds in a summer sky, nostalgic memories of carefree childhoods, al fresco dining, nature and the outdoors. We have our own  stories - we come from different places, are different ages and have done different things, but have been drawn  together through our desire to tell these stories.

Last year  Lee, Kirsty, Jodie and Meredith got together, sharing ideas and working with clay. Kirsty is a ceramic and graphic artist who often works on public art projects, sometimes with her mother Lee, a painter, potter and sculptor. Jodie has been working in ceramics since studying at the VCA. Meredith has been sculpting in clay for the past 20 years, as well as running the Bolin Bolin Gallery.

The result was our 2010 exhibition, Lazy Days. This year we decided we wanted to develop these themes further and have a second exhibition together - More Lazy Days. We will be joined this year by Matthew Baird, who works in wood and has been collaborating with Kirsty on public art work projects.
