Upcoming

To welcome the new year, we have invited all of our Sabbia artists to submit one work around the idea of 'The Study'. A time honoured device used by artists to plan for larger works, a study is a smaller work that allows the artists to explore the elements of the piece so that they are able to finesse the work at the planning stage. Our Sabbia artists have been asked to create or release a smaller scale study piece for this exhibition, and this is a great chance to see works that show the process of an artists practice, whilst also being on a smaller scale.

“Usually I first have a vision of the finished object and then I look for the specific method necessary, though the way that I create pâte de verre elements leads to both providing and expressing the narrative. There is something magical involved with making thousands of small elements – even just piling them on the table bursts my imagination and leads to creating ‘stories.’ We do this work, we learn this craft, we push, we integrate, we branch out and narrow in, and once in a while, there is a piece that stands up and matters.  For me, «Rage and Revival» has that punch and cathartic, healing life force. Bushfires RAGE in Australia, destroying the landscape, but forces of nature bring the REVIVAL. Hence the inseparable duo of objects, offering hope after destruction.” Emma Varga 2021

Walking a simple path – ain't so simple! The works in this exhibition are gentle forms and soft glazes in the main. They are quiet pots that have meditative qualities. There are some works that diverge from this ideal and are a result of an exhausting testing program and are an attempt to reproduce works that change mood depending on ambient light. All works are made in porcelain sourced in Australia and Japan and are high fired.
