Arachnobutt
Arachnobutt by Claybia Ceramics.
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
Claybia Ceramics is a Naarm/Melbourne-based ceramic collaboration between Cassandra Chilton and Molly O'Shaughnessy, who are both members of the Hotham Street Ladies art collective. Working under the motto ‘Dark Ceramics for Dark Times’, Claybia’s practice is centred around non-traditional sculpture, exploring the darker sides of art and life, humour, feminism, the everyday, the misshapen, the peculiar, and drawing on our shared sinister ceramic history.Dimensions: 100 x 140 x 120
