Sabbia Gallery is pleased to present Kaleidoscope, the solo exhibition by Amelia Lynch, the 2018 winner of the Sabbia Gallery Exhibition Prize for National Art School Graduates in Ceramics. 'When I interact with the tactile qualities of clay I create a physical connection to my work that help me to express the meaning that I am aiming to represent. Together, with the combination of my vessels, and my Master of Fine Arts (MFA) ‘Kaleidoscopic Series’, I aim to provide insight into how my interaction with clay has evolved. These two series work in a sense collaboratively because in my vessels I experimented with size, shape and texture which were all elements that I wanted to focus on moving forward as an artist, testing the boundaries of what I could achieve. In my MFA I found a way to test those boundaries by trying to visually depict the micro and macro landscape of Australia. This included trying to represent things such as; textures of eucalyptus bark, wattle flowers, concave rock pools and the reflections of water in bush creeks. My Kaleidoscopic Series explores various different depictions of my interaction within the Australian landscape whilst also expanding on the previous work I had done with my vessels'.

Maricelle Olivier reflects on the last months of  her time living and working in Ernabella, a remote Indigenous community located in the far northwest of South Australia. This new body of work draws on the vivid colours that make up the complexion of the desert. Each vessel is a visual representation of different elements found in the dry, arid central Australia that she has come to call home for the past two and a half years. Together, the vessels echo the technicolour radiance of the desert during the last light of the day, stretching endless in spectacular golden awe.

Sabbia Gallery is delighted to present this solo exhibition of new works in glass by Christine Cathie. I’ve been thinking about getting some works on to the wall for quite a while – but wanted a minimal looking fitting that didn’t detract from the glass itself. A commission where the client wanted some wall works gave me the impetus to resolve these fittings, enabling them to appear to float freely with few of the constraints a base requires. Standing out from the wall and using the same calligraphic forms of twists and changes in thickness that are a signature of my work, these pieces cast intriguing shadows from the light.

'Lemon Light' by Alichia van Rhijn presents sculptural works that reference early memories of childhood, both before her immigration to Australia and after. Multi-faceted elements and anthropomorphic forms are in a state of flux. Shifting and changing as they span the fluidity of time, these forms investigate phenomenological notions, alluding to personal and shared experience, memory, nostalgia and trauma. Through the use of distilled minimalist forms, symbolic and ritualistic totems are arranged throughout the space, hoping to initiate pause and contemplation.
