My previous advisor and one of the major reasons I studied in Australia, Janet Deboos, recently had an exhibition of new work at Skepsi On Swanston in Victoria. Gorgeous gallery, one of my faves when I was visiting Melbourne. Avicam has also recently posted some of Janet’s writing about her beautiful functional work which is worth a read. So much for the non believers that think that a bowl is just a bowl, function mere function, Janet has always had an interesting methodology behind her work. Read the article here.
Craft Australia has just published (online) a few articles written about the recent Sturt Woodfire 2008 conference.
There’s articles by John Freeland, Janet Mansfeild,Megan Patey,and the ever so lovely Avi Amesbury (of Avicam).
