Featuring leading ceramists, glass artists and sculptors, Objects is a celebration of the depth, breadth and the considerable achievements these artists have made.

Emily Siddell’s tender lei/necklaces, John Parker’s acclaimed restraint and rhythmic forms, Phil Brooks’ architectural conversations and textured surfaces counterpoint Neil Adcock’s abstracted pounamu tiki-inspired figures.

Aaron Scythe’s fusion of Japanese ceramic traditions and a modernist sensibility traverses place and time. Galia Amsel’s memorable wedge-shaped glass forms are accompanied by the beauty and joy of Katherine Smythe’s flora-informed jugs.

Anton Hart’s stacked and cut-away interventions seem to advance and recede simultaneously. Mandy Gargiulo works, deeply informed by marine-life, kissed by natural-light, appear to sway and move.

Mark Mitchell’s painterly, optical illusions and characteristic subversion of form establish dynamic tension and a glorious irregularity unique in New Zealand ceramics. Mike Crawford’s acclaimed uniting of our iconic birds with Māori conceptual thought accompanied by a mastery of flowing form is culturally significant.
