RECENT SELECTED EXHIBITIONS

  • Steph Wallace’s ceramics practice challenges established norms by combining traditional techniques and experimental approaches. Living on land examines the complexities of cultural identity and legacies of the destructive nature of colonialisation on the contemporary physical and cultural landscape.  

    In an expression of the vessel as a sculptural medium, Wallace seeks to explore the land on which she currently practices, both its physical essence and its complex cultural tapestry. Although the surfaces of her ceramics are abstract in nature, they allude to the landscape; broken up and demarcated by post-colonial landowners in the divisive Western tradition of installing fences, walls and barriers for agricultural purposes.  

  • 40 Lydiard St N, Ballarat Central VIC 3350.

    Founded in 1884, the Art Gallery of Ballarat is the oldest and largest regional gallery in Australia.

  • 24th May - 2nd June

  • Created in a studio shaken daily by the explosions of contemporary gold mining, these works are an exploration of the land on which the artist resides, Wadawarrung Country, Ballarat.

    Holding the Void responds to this landscape, hollowed by centuries of gold extraction and forever altered both in its physical essence and cultural tapestry. Often challenging the concept of vessel, this collection of sculptural forms contain within only their own negative space, the void. These monolithic forms with expansive rim and abstract surfaces reference this hollowed earth and disrupted terrain in a contemplation of impermanence, erosion and decay.
