Come to your senses
Goulburn Regional Art Gallery 2012 Come to your senses examines multi-sensory experiences for people of all ages and abilities. Most art depends on the sense of sight in order to understand and enjoy the aesthetic experience. It has been well documented that people learn in various ways, including kinaesthetic learning where touch is of utmost importance. Young children begin their learning journey through touch as they develop an understanding of the world around them. Seventeen artists were invited to participate and create artworks specifically for this exhibition invited which encouraged the viewer to engage and interact with the pieces. Within the context of Miles Franklin's writing, my work explores majestic and sublime landscapes through the medium of clay form, glaze and decorating techniques. Gathering Landscapes depict the landscape in drought. Inspired by prehistoric pot making methods of pressing soft clay into reed baskets to reveal the highly textured, negative space left by the weave.
