Ebb Tide: An exhibition by Megan Puls and Kathryn Mitchell
|
Established Gold Coast ceramicist Megan
Puls has captured attention with her distinctive work for nearly three
decades. After four solo exhibitions on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane
she is now joining forces with emerging ceramic artist Kathryn Mitchell
to exhibit a new body of work in an exhibition titled Ebb Tide at Clay
Art Benowa opening on Saturday 2 March 2013.

she is now joining forces with emerging ceramic artist Kathryn Mitchell
to exhibit a new body of work in an exhibition titled Ebb Tide at Clay
Art Benowa opening on Saturday 2 March 2013.
The exhibition will explore the movement
of water, connections and journeys through Megan and Kathryn’s distinct
ceramic styles. Both artists have a deep affinity to water; Megan is
fascinated with the Australian and New Zealand coastlines after
extensive travels, whilst Kathryn grew up on the Isle of Man, a small
British island with the sea less than an hour’s drive in any direction
and criss-crossed by rivers and lakes. Their visions are translated
through delicate porcelain ceramic pieces; Megan painstakingly drills
hundreds of holes into each vessel and Kathryn meticulously hand paints
her illustrations.

“Ebb Tide is in the middle, a balance,
yin and yang. To me, that is how we live. Creating is how I live in all
forms,” says Megan.

With an understanding of the vision in
Megan’s mind, Kathryn took to hand her mentor’s musings and found a
connection that bonds the Ebb Tide exhibition together.

“I could see links between our work and
the concepts I had been experimenting with. This exhibition was an
opportunity to pursue those ideas and bring them to life. Inspiration
ranges from lyrics by Florence and the Machine, to Frida Kahlo paintings
and my fascination with the connections we form with the people in our
lives, be them fleeting or enduring,” says Kathryn.

Only three years into her art practice,
Kathryn is excited by the opportunity to share exhibition space with
such an established artist as Megan.

“It’s a privilege for young artists to
exhibit alongside their role models – I’m honoured that Megan invited me
to join her in launching her new work. Receiving this kind of support
and encouragement is invaluable to my fledging career,” says Kathryn.

And Megan couldn’t be happier helping out an enthusiastic and dedicated emerging ceramicist as Kathryn.
“My nature is: what you give out is what
you get back. I believe Kathryn is giving back two-fold. I love
enthusiasm, energy and passion,” she says.
