Gallerysmith Project Space
Sometimes my soft eye strays from a purely ceramic/clay focus. Happily, I will stray towards this Melbourne based artist Claire McArdle.
McArdle's work is ever inventive and creatively responsive to the material and history of place. Up North is a reflection on her residency in Iceland.
Check out McArdle's use of material, form and how the body might carry a reference to place (Iceland).
