Journeying into the ancient red land of the Pilbara region.

 This body of work seeks to capture the unique colours, textures and details of the dramatic landscapes of the Pilbara. From high on hilltops, to deep within the gorges, this work explores both the intimacy and vastness of this place.

 The iron rich red of the Hamersley Ranges. The soft veil of spinifex. Rugged landforms and sweeping plains. Formed and then deeply weathered and eroded over millions of years. A literal exploration of the geology and vegetation of the region. 

 Each work is both functional and an expression of materiality. The slips and glazes incorporate materials sourced on location in the Pilbara including; Snakewood (Acacia xiphophylla) ash collected from the firepit and found iron rich clay and inclusions. Some vessels incorporated found objects (metal and wood) in the piece or as textural impressions.

 A quiet celebration of the beauty, power and fragility of this ancient landscape.
