OPEN NOW.
We are delighted to present Katarina Wells’ new solo exhibition, ‘Marks, Tracks, and Traces’, at the Woolloomooloo gallery from 21 October to 7 November.
Katarina Wells’ sculptural ceramics find beauty in the imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. Her latest body of work traces the quiet passage of time through the natural world: layers of compressed sediment, leaves decaying into the earth, animal tracks fading in the sand and tangled seaweed washed ashore.
Using clay to map the physical evidence of existence, Wells builds these organic forms slowly and intuitively. Raw oxides, porcelain slip and repeated glaze firings create richly tactile surfaces and unpredictable depths of colour and texture, preserving fleeting moments in nature within enduring ceramic forms.
Join us for the opening reception on Wednesday, 21 October, from 5:30pm–8pm.
The exhibition catalogue for ‘Marks, Tracks, and Traces’ is available via the link in bio.
