Alex Bray
Sabbia is pleased to present this solo exhibition by Alex Bray, awarded the 2023 Sabbia Exhibition Prize for National Art School Graduates in Ceramics. This exhibition series has presented new bodies of work by some of the most dynamic ceramic students, and we are pleased to include Alex in this series. Alex has been refining her work whilst completing her Masters at NAS, concentrating on fine porcelain forms that reference nature, with soft lustre glazed surfaces. She explores ideas of patriarchy, environment and materiality through the soft malleability of clay. We look forward to presenting this new body of work.

MARICELLE OLIVIER – a thousand lines, a thousand times
Sabbia is pleased to present this long awaited solo exhibition by ceramic artist Maricelle Olivier. A line is a simple, basic element that holds within its simplicity an abundance of meaning and ideas. A single line may seem insignificant on its own, yet when combined and layered, they can tell a story within the patterns formed. In my work, the repetition and variations of line, combined with colour, create movement, structure, and meaning. Each piece becomes a visual narrative—an embodiment of layered emotions, memories, and abstract impressions of the surrounding natural world. People often ask me if I am sick of drawing lines on my work, and the answer is no. Each line is drawn on individually, one by one. I must have drawn a thousand lines a thousand times over, yet every line feels unique. These lines are not perfect – but in their imperfection lies a rhythm, a personal signature that makes each work distinctly “mine”. At its core, a line is simply a mark connecting two points, but personally, it holds deeper meaning. It tells my life story and serves as a thread that connects me to my South African heritage.

Together, Nick and Tom’s works reflect the elasticity of this material and the infinite ways it can embody both personal expression and shared cultural touchstones. In a time when fragility and resilience feel more relevant than ever, we hope this exhibition invites viewers to see glass not only as a medium, but as a mirror—revealing, distorting, and transforming the world around us.
