HONOR FREEMAN – all that was solid is liquid

Sabbia Gallery is pleased to present this solo exhibition of new ceramic works by Honor Freeman. Clay is a material that embodies both control and chaos. Ideas of containment occupy the making and embrace clay's capricious nature in this new suite of work. All that was solid is liquid plays with ruptures, leaks, and growths, highlighting the tensions between material dualities: soft/hard, beautiful/ugly, fragile/durable, liquid/solid. Ordinary and seemingly insignificant items intimately connected with the body—chewing gum, soap, towels, pillows, hot water bottles—are cast in porcelain and transformed, becoming strange souvenirs and nostalgic relics from the domestic landscape. These ubiquitous objects, caught between discarded beauty and unsettling decay, reflect their leaking and rupturing states. Honor Freeman, 2024

RITA KELLAWAY – Subterraneum

Sabbia Gallery is pleased to present this solo exhibition from the 2023 Sabbia Gallery Ausglass and Mentorship Award Recipient South Australian artist Rita Kellaway. For close to twenty years Sabbia Gallery has offered an award at the Ausglass conference. The prize is a two year mentorship and then a solo exhibition at Sabbia Gallery with the award offered to an artist with under five years practice within glass. Rita was a standout amongst the other eligible artists with her professionalism and quality of craftsmanship for an artist of so few years of practice was extraordinary.

TOM ROWNEY – Tesserae

Sabbia Gallery is pleased to present this solo exhibition of new works in glass by Tom Rowney. For more than three decades, I have been inspired by the rich traditions of Venetian glassmaking. My work draws from the history of the craft, blending classical techniques with contemporary influences to explore the qualities of glass—transparency, opacity, and the interplay of bold, colourful combinations. These works invite the viewer to engage closely with each piece, discovering the nuances of the pattern within the form.
