Exhibition Statement

‘Tabby Cat Eating Cake’ is a playful exhibition of artworks by Members from Studio ARTES, presented at Chrissie Cotter Gallery in Camperdown. Responding to the strong interest Members have expressed in working with ceramics, the exhibition marks the studio’s first exploration into the medium, with a group of Members from both Inner West and Hornsby studios experimenting with underglaze on pre-bisqued dinner plates. Exhibited alongside these unique ceramic works are large-scale paintings inspired by a shared love of food, created in response to the prompt of the dinner plates. The exhibition is a celebration of creativity, skill-building and the studio's strong focus on person-centred programming.

A new exhibition by Reiko Azuma, Sally Mowbray and Samantha Tidbeck, Sediment Wondrous explores the interconnectedness of all life through each artist’s unique language of painting.

Art, in all its forms, is a medium for dialogue — a transformative exchange between the cosmos within us and the natural world around us. This exhibition invites reflection on that dialogue, tracing the unfathomable realm within our being.

Throughout the exhibition, we are hoping to extend this conversation to the broader community, embracing both ancient and emerging ideas about the fabric of the natural world. Our aim is to inspire and celebrate the boundless creativity and expansive heart we all carry within.

In a time marked by uncertainty and change, Sediment Wondrous offers a space to reconnect—with each other, with nature, and with the many-layered wonder of life itself.
