Frown Face Series
Frown Face Series by Ebony Russell.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Heart of Darkness is a visually rich showcase of artworks that appeal to Gothic aesthetic sensibilities and our dark desires through associated colour palettes, symbols and motifs. It features fourteen contemporary Australian artists working in ceramics, jewellery, glass, fibres and multimedia who have embraced dark themes to produce beautiful, mysterious and macabre Gothic-tinged artworks.
Darkness isn’t absence – it’s where the soul thrives.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ebony Russell is a Sydney-based artist whose unorthodox ceramics practice challenges traditions of craft, gender and decoration. Developing a unique technique of piping porcelain into intricate layers, she creates gravity-defying forms where ornamentation becomes structure, erasing the boundaries between vessel and embellishment. Her work interrogates cultural and artistic practices once dismissed as feminine or insignificant, instead celebrating excess, pleasure, and the politics of decoration.1. Frown Face: Urn
