Janet DeBoos: An Interview by Jan Howlin

Hear Janet DeBoos talk about her experiences in
China. Jan Howlin visited Janet at her home and pottery in the
Brindabella Ranges west of Canberra and in this interview excerpt,
accompanied by a slideshow, Janet describes how she became the designer
of factory-produced ceramics, and how this involvement has radically
changed the work she makes. The interview is accompanied by images of
Janet’s home, studio, office and work taken by photographer Anthony
Browell.

Public Lecture

Penny Byrne meticulously constructs manipulated figurines from
damaged and antiquidated ceramic objects into artworks that fiercely
wield a political message. The use of fragile ceramics contradicts the
political issues evident in her work. Byrne’s satirical viewpoint
confronts a number of contemporary political issues that presents an
ongoing inquiry into popular culture and international politics.
