About the Exhibitions

Exhibition Title | Vessels of Dialogue
Artist | Sarit Cohen

Exhibition Statement 
Vessels of Dialogue is an exhibition of ceramics exploring architectural moments shaped by the artist's memories. Influenced by a nuanced understanding of the Bauhaus and the Decorative Arts movement of the early 20th century, the exhibition features whimsical sculptural vessels and objects. Beguiling forms made from delicate porcelain clay draw the eye to ‘lines’ that both reinforce the linear rhythms of the forms or conversely subvert their practicality. The use of a minimal palette, a reduced colour scheme and simple shapes offer a sense of calm and serenity.

Exhibition Title | Fragile Structures: The Architecture of Decay
Artists | Fran Romano + Madeline Cardone

Exhibition Statement 
This exhibition is a collaboration between visual artists Madeline Cardone and Fran Romano. Working in glass and ceramics respectively, the artists share an overlapping conceptual and material language. Both are fascinated by the built environment, exploring ruins, decay, voids and architectural phenomenology through the deconstruction and reconstruction of space. They share a common cultural heritage that informs their practices and strengthens this collaboration.

Exhibition Title | Correspondence
Artist | Jude Muduioa

Exhibition Statement 
Correspondence continues Jude’s interest in accumulation as both a making process and a way of thinking. Each element is formed by hand before becoming part of a larger whole, where no single component dominates. The restrained surface allows form, light and shadow to take precedence, drawing attention to the rhythm, detail and quiet complexity of the work. 
The process is slow and deliberate, valuing patience, care and sustained making.

Exhibition Title | Dwell
Artist | Suzanne Knight

Exhibition Statement 
Dwell presents a series of tapestry weavings by Suzanne Knight. Shaped as discarded plastic bottles, the works explore the intertwined histories of migration, settlement and ecological change, examining how introduced plants, materials and traditions have become embedded within Australian landscapes, while reflecting on domestic life, consumer culture and environmental transformation.
