Pinched Paintings

Abbey Jamieson and Rowan McGinness unite to produce a playful landscape of painted
ceramic objects. This collaborative project challenges painting and ceramic stigmas. By using
paint as the surface treatment on the ceramic wares it opens up new opportunities that are
not traditionally accepted in the craft field, and pushes painting into a three-dimensional
space.

Immerse

to Feb 14

Immerse

Immerse is a multisensory exhibition by Erica Herbert, Abbey Jamieson and Chayla Ueckert-Smith. The exhibition encourages the audience to interact with and explore the works of the three artists with all of their senses. In a traditional exhibition space, visitors are asked not to touch the artworks, which can limit how the works are perceived and understood. Each work in this exhibition, either ceramic or textile, requires physical connection on behalf of the participant to be activated and fully experienced.
