INTENT
YARRA SCULPTURE GALLERY
March 4 - 27, 2022
In the world we want, there is hope, recovery and optimism, with new life emerging. This work imagines a post-human earth; after the Anthropocene; and recognises the eternal potential and evolution of biological life. With each ceramic form, evidence of eternal geological time, measured in eons, is contrasted with ephemeral biological time, measured in moments; the Earth stores its memory of lessons lived and learnt.
'Intent’: an abstract landscape constructed through an installation of contemporary ceramic sculptures combined with digital projection and audio.
This event is part of Melbourne Design Week 2022, an initiative of the Victorian Government in collaboration with the NGV.

ART @ THE THOMAS
2021
Art at The Thomas was a pop-up ARI Gallery project, initiated by Cinda and a couple of artist colleagues on Fitzroy St, St Kilda.
The Gallery space presented an opportunity for local artists to engage with the local community, grow their audience and patronage, exhibit their work in a public space that directly supported local artists, and network with professionals and supporters of arts and creative industries.
