To There and Back

Abstract

Solo exhibition of ceramics.

Working from photographs and sketches of her travels to and from Adelaide in recent years, Canberra based ceramicist Hely, paints and prints her recollections onto a series of porcelain forms: domestic cups, jugs and vases, creating objects that are souvenir-like, but not souvenirs. Reflecting journal notes made while travelling and diarist in intent, Hely’s appealingly homely pots are also visual records of excursions away, reflecting aspects of the passing Adelaide cityscape, recording elements of the road travelled, recalling echoes of the rhythm of the journey travelled; the path way back and forth.
